Listen to the Alva Noto Remodel: dg.lnk.to/TranquilityBase_AlvaNoto
“SLEEP: Tranquility Base” is a revision which offers a glimpse into the original SLEEP-material from an electronic perspective. “Tranquility Base” is the site on the Moon where, in July 1969, humans landed and walked on a celestial body other than Earth for the first time.
With this in mind, the EP functions as a vessel that disconnects and travels through the body of work, allowing art to provide something which resembles peace within ourselves. – Max Richter
“I’ve already been following Max Richter's work for many years now, so I felt all the more honoured to be able to do a remodel for him. I’ve tried to combine the original, which is played largely on classical instruments, with an electronic score, kind of transposing it into an electronic sound world. I derived my inspiration from early science-fiction novels by Isaac Asimov and Philip K. Dick. Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” and its notion of a computer that dreams and possesses an independent consciousness (keyword ‘ghost in the machine’) was a theme that particularly resonated, which I’ve tried to bring out in the remodel.” – Alva Noto
“SLEEP is a kind of counter argument to what’s going on in the world. [My partner] Yulia and I have talked about it as protest music. It’s a sort of alternative proposition to how things could be or how things are… towards the world we’re living in and helps to shine a light on the things we can do better. The original thing which made us want to make this piece was a sense of being oversaturated – with data, with information – overstimulated… All of that is just worse now, there’s more of the same – much more of the same – and that makes the piece continually relevant.” – Max Richter

Listen to and get your copy of Sleep Circle here https://DG.lnk.to/SLEEPCircle
“It’s like SLEEP distilled.” That’s how Max Richter describes Sleep Circle, his new album marking the tenth anniversary of his landmark project SLEEP. Sleep Circle is a hallucinatory 90-minute trip into the hypnagogic state – the liminal space between wakefulness and sleep in which dreams begin to take shape. The process of choosing Sleep Circle’s 24 tracks was informed by the insights Richter gained from live performances of an abridged version of his monumental opus. With its more intimate and focused approach to SLEEP, the new album highlights compositions such as “Dream 11 / Moth-Like Stars” and “Non-Eternal” in a structural arc that mirrors the natural 90-minute REM cycle. Recorded at Studio Richter Mahr in Oxfordshire, Sleep Circle showcases Max Richter’s unique ability to translate profound human experience into music, offering listeners a space to slow down and reconnect with their inner selves.
