SLEEP is an eight hour exploration of music, consciousness and human connectivity – and is actually intended to send the listener to sleep. SLEEP is played on piano, strings, with subtle electronic touches and vocals – but no words.

“It’s my personal lullaby for a frenetic world. A manifesto for a slower pace of existence. I want people to start playing it while they are getting ready for bed, so that they hear it in their sleep.” – Max Richter

Max Richter also partnered with BBC Radio 3 and broke two records for the longest broadcast of a single piece of music and the longest live broadcast of a single piece of music.
