Blending classical, electronic, and rock influences into a style he calls "post-classical", composer/programmer Max Richter ignores boundaries in favor of haunting, strangely familiar sounds. This approach made him an in-demand composer for film and other types of performing arts, as well as an acclaimed artist in his own right.

Blending classical, electronic, and rock influences into a style he calls "post-classical", composer/programmer Max Richter ignores boundaries in favor of haunting, strangely familiar sounds. This approach made him an in-demand composer for film and other types of performing arts, as well as an acclaimed artist in his own right.

Richter has pared back sections of his best-selling 8.5-hour epic SLEEP to their basic structures to create three extended solo piano tracks for this new digital EP, out on World Sleep Day. “The piano is where I go to daydream, because composing, in a way, is daydreaming as well. It’s trying to encounter other aspects of your mind, things maybe you’re not so aware of consciously.”

The unique collaboration stemmed from a suggestion by the film’s director Johan Renck, with Richter creating the music for the track before Sparks contributed melody and lyrics to create the melancholic finale to the film’s soundtrack.

Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi - The Four Seasons is the 2012 album by neo-classical composer Max Richter. The Four Seasons may be the most cherished piece of classical music ever composed. This album is part of Deutsche Grammophon’s new Recomposed series, which invites contemporary musicians to re-work an original piece of music. Award-winning composer Max Richter approached Vivaldi’s masterpiece as not only an admirer, but more importantly, as a composer. This re-work is engaging, attractive and highly accessible. The album features British violinist Daniel Hope, German conductor Andre de Ridder and the Konzerthaus Chamber Orchestra.

Through the collaboration of performers, producers, DJs and artists from around the world and across the spectrum of contemporary music, different facets of Bach's centuries-old masterpieces are transformed with fresh energy and modern virtuosity that know no limits.

Max Richter is at the crossroad of many contemporary artistic languages through a wide variety of collaborations (Tilda Swinton, Robert Wyatt, Future Sound of London, Roni Size). As one might expect from a student of Luciano Berio, his work explores a very wide range of currents and influences. In this universe, film music occupies a privileged position and the variety of filmmakers Richter has worked with reflects the ductility of his inspiration.

Invasion is created by Simon Kinberg & David Weil and stars Shamier Anderson, Golshifteh Farahani, Sam Neill, Shioli Kutsuna and Firas Nassar. The first season of the sci-fi drama is premiering today exclusively on Apple TV+.
