Max Richter is one of the most influential and acclaimed composers of all time. His fusion of classical technique and electronic technology, heard across genre-defining solo albums and countless scores for film, dance, art and fashion, has won him legions of fans around the world and blazed a trail for a generation of musicians.

Richter is a prolific collaborator who has worked scoring Dior shows for Kim Jones and with film directors Martin Scorsese and Ari Folman. His ninth solo album, ‘In A Landscape’, brings together the electronic and the acoustic, the human and the natural world, the big questions of life and the quiet pleasures of living. ‘On The Nature of Daylight’, the album’s epic centerpiece, featured on HBO’s The Last Of Us. Richter performed the album in full at Glastonbury Festival last year alongside Tilda Swinton, who joined Richter onstage to recite the spoken word pieces she contributed for the original recording.

After spending many years grappling with big ideas and thorny social and political questions, the making of ‘In A Landscape’ has opened up another, greener world for Richter. Making music remains, above all, “a way to make a kind of alternate reality,” a constructed world “where everything is in its place.”
