Scheduled for release in early September, Richter’s ninth studio album, In A Landscape, marks a significant step in the composer’s musical development: Delving deeper into the topics of optimism and human emotion, Richter takes an innovative approach to exploring electronic sounds and ambient recordings. The album is a record about “reconciling polarities”, bringing together the electronic and the acoustic, the human and the natural world, the big questions of life and the quiet pleasures of living – a fleeting self-portrait of a musician in constant motion.
One of the most influential composers of his generation, Max Richter is known for his ability to seamlessly blend traditional orchestration with modern electronic elements. With his unique ability to translate the deepest human experiences into musical compositions, he has created a loyal fan base throughout the world, his works having already been streamed more than three billion times. Beside his solo performances, Richter is frequently involved in collaborative productions and works with renowned creative artists and visionaries from a wide range of art forms and genres, such as Dior designer Kim Jones and choreographer Wayne McGregor. The solo album In A Landscape was recorded at Studio Richter Mahr, which Richter designed and runs together with his wife, the artist Yulia Mahr.
“For me, the music on this recording aims to unite polarities: the electronic instruments with the acoustic ones, the natural world with the human world, and the grand designs of life with life’s very personal and intimate aspects.”
