Maxx is one of 7 artists invited to create an original score for the classic silent film HÄXAN. This 1922 Danish/Swedish production is a dramatized account of the practice -- and persecution -- of witchcraft during the Middle Ages. Its depictions of Satanism, torture, and sexual perversion were so controversial that it was banned in the U.S. Maxx’s contribution to the new soundtrack melds 16th-century Latin choral polyphony with 21st-century electronics.
