Review

Imagine "Sleep" by Max Richter as the score to a serene, introspective journey through the landscapes of the subconscious. This groundbreaking, eight-and-a-half-hour opus is not confined by traditional music conventions, instead designed as a sonic lullaby to guide you through the entirety of a night’s rest. With the input of neuroscientist David Eagleman, Richter meticulously crafted this album to resonate with the brain's nocturnal rhythms, employing an array of instruments like piano, cello, violas, violins, organ, and synthesizers to cultivate a lush and calming soundscape.

The 31 sections of "Sleep" unfold as slow-tempo variations on five core themes, reminiscent of the meditative cycles found in Bach’s "Goldberg Variations." Through its deliberate pacing and rich instrumentation, the album invites you to plunge into a deep state of relaxation. Beyond its sonic beauty, "Sleep" serves as a poignant commentary on our fast-paced modern life, urging a slower, more reflective existence. Accompanied by the documentary "Max Richter’s Sleep," this album goes beyond mere listening, challenging our notions of music consumption and performance, and stands as a testament to Richter’s boundary-pushing, innovative spirit. - Lyra
