Max Richter - Blue Notebooks

Release Date:03/17/2015;Notes:Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition of this 2004 release by the German-born British composer, who is considered to be one of the most influential composers of the last ten years. The Blue Notebooks was Max Richter's second solo album, a distinctive and adventurous work that is beautifully recorded and cinematic in scope. Opening with a text from Franz Kafka over a sparse piano melody, the album moves through heart-wrenching strings of "On The Nature Of Daylight" to lyrical piano pieces. Using piano, cello, violin and viola, alongside electronic beats (made using a variety of antique electronics and Reaktor), spoken word passages and the occasional field recording (including a very realistic crow that you probably think comes from your garden) other sounds were generated via old guitar pedals and vocoders.;Track List:1.
