Sleep

Max Richter

An eight-hour lullaby for piano, strings, and electronics. Designed with neuroscientists to mirror the rhythm of a full night of deep, restorative sleep.

September 4, 2015 · Deutsche Grammophon

A profound, protective stillness that feels like being submerged in a warm, lightless sea.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the wordless soprano in Path 17 floats above the cello like a distant lighthouse beam.
The deep, resonant organ pedal tones in Dream 19 that feel like a physical heartbeat in the room.
The final thirty minutes of Dream 0 where the piano motifs slowly dissolve into a pure, ambient haze.

Midnight saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
