Berio in Florence.[9][10] After finishing his studies, Richter co-founded the Associated acts Piano Circus
contemporary classical ensemble Piano Circus.[11] He stayed with the group for Website maxrichtermusic.com
ten years, commissioning and performing works by minimalist musicians such
as Arvo Pärt, Brian Eno, Philip Glass, Julia Wolfe, and Steve Reich. The ensemble was signed toDecca/Argo, producing five albums.

In 1996, Richter collaborated with Future Sound of London on their album Dead Cities, beginning as a pianist, but ultimately
working on several tracks, as well as co-writing one track (titled Max). Richter worked with the band for two years, also contributing
to the albums The Isness and The Peppermint Tree and Seeds of Superconsciousness. In 2000, Richter worked with Mercury Prize
winner Roni Size on the Reprazent album In the Møde. Richter produced Vashti Bunyan's 2005 album Lookaftering[12] and Kelli
Ali's 2008 album Rocking Horse.[13][14][15]

Solo work
Richter’s solo albums include:

Memoryhouse (2002)
Considered a “landmark work of contemporary classical music",[16] Max Richter's solo debut Memoryhouse, an experimental album
of "documentary music" recorded with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, explores real and imaginary stories and histories.[17]
Several of the tracks, such as "Sarajevo", "November", "Arbenita", and "Last Days", deal with the aftermath of the Kosovo conflict,
while others are of childhood memories e.g. "Laika's Journey". The music combines ambient sounds, voices (including that of John
Cage), and poetry readings from the work of Marina Tsvetaeva. BBC Music described the album as "a masterpiece in neoclassical
composition."[18] Memoryhouse was first played live by Richter at the Barbican Centre on 24 January 2014 to coincide with a vinyl
re-release of the album.

Pitchfork gave the re-release an 8.7 rating, commenting on its extensive influence:

In 2002, Richter’s ability to weave subtle electronics against the grand BBC Philharmonic Orchestra helped suggest
new possibilities and locate fresh audiences that composers such as Nico Muhly and Michał Jacaszek have since
pursued. As you listen to new work by Julianna Barwick or Jóhann Jóhannsson, thank Richter; just as Sigur Rós did
[19]
with its widescreen rock, Richter showed that crossover wasn't necessarily an artistic curse.

The Blue Notebooks (2004)

On Richter's second album, The Blue Notebooks, released in 2004, the actress Tilda Swinton reads from Kafka's The Blue Octavo
Notebooks and the work of Czesław Miłosz.[20] Richter has stated that The Blue Notebooks is a protest album about the Iraq War, as
[21] Pitchfork described the album as "Not only one of the finest record of the last
well as a meditation on his own troubled childhood.
six months, but one of the most affecting and universal contemporary classical records in recent memory."[22] To mark the 10th
anniversary of its release, Richter created a track-by-track commentary for Drowned in Sound, in which he described the album as a
series of interconnected dreams and an exploration of the chasm between lived experience and imagination.[23] The second track,
Arrival.[24]
"On the Nature of Daylight", is used in both the opening and closing sequences of the sci-fi film

Songs from Before (2006)

In 2006, he released his third solo album,Songs from Before, which features Robert Wyatt reading texts by Haruki Murakami.[25]

24 Postcards in Full Colour (2008)

Richter released his fourth solo album 24 Postcards in Full Colour, a collection of 24 classically composed miniatures for ringtones,
in 2008.[26] The pieces are a series of variations on the basic material, scored for strings, piano, and electronics.
Infra (2010)
Richter's 2010 album Infra takes as its central theme the 2005 terrorist bombings in London,[27] and is an extension of his 25-minute
score for a ballet of the same name choreographed by Wayne McGregor and staged at the Royal Opera House.[28] Infra comprises
music written for piano, electronics and string quintet, plus the full performance score and material that subsequently developed from
the construction of the album.[29] Pitchfork described the album as "achingly gorgeous"[30] and The Independent newspaper
characterised it as "a journey in 13 episodes, emerging from a blur of static and finding its way in a repeated phrase that grows in
loveliness."[31]

Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons (2012)

Richter’s recomposed version of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons, was
premiered in the UK at the Barbican Centre on 31 October 2012, performed by the Britten Sinfonia, conducted by André de Ridder
and with violinist Daniel Hope.[32] Although Richter said that he had discarded 75% of Vivaldi's original material,[33] the parts he
does use are phased and looped, emphasising his grounding in postmodern and minimalist music.[34] The album topped the iTunes
classical chart in the UK, Germany and the US.[35] The US launch concert in New York at Le Poisson Rouge was recorded by NPR
and streamed.[36]

Sleep and From Sleep (2015)

Richter has described his 2015 album Sleep as an eight-hour-long lullaby. It was released on CD and vinyl. The work was strongly
influenced by Gustav Mahler's symphonic works.[37]

The entire composition was performed on September 27, 2015, from midnight to 8:00 A.M. as the climax of the "Science and Music"
weekend on BBC 3.[38] The performance broke several records, including the longest live broadcast of a single musical composition
in the history of the network.[39]

Richter also released From Sleep, a one-hour album intended to be listened to while awake, contrary to Sleep, which he intended to
be heard while asleep.[40]

Sleep was chosen by Jarvis Cocker to be the BBC6 Album of the year for 2015[41] and by Pitchfork Magazine as one of the 50 best
ambient albums of all time.[42]

The full-length Sleep has been played live by Richter at the Concertgebouw (Grote Zaal) Amsterdam[43] ; the Sydney Opera
House[44] ; in Berlin (as part of Berliner Festspiele's Maerz Musik Festival)[45] , in Madrid (as part of Veramos de la Villa)[46] and in
London (at the Barbican)[47] . In November 2017 Sleep will be played at the Philharmonie de Paris.[48]

Three Worlds: Music from Woolf Works (2017)

Three Worlds: Music From Woolf Works is Max Richter’s eighth album, released in January 2017. The music is taken from the score
that Richter composed for the ballet Woolf Works in collaboration with choreographer Wayne McGregor at the Royal Opera House in
London. The work follows a three-part structure offering evocations of three books by Woolf (Mrs Dalloway, Orlando, and The
Virginia Woolf herself.[49]
Waves). The album features classical and electronic sound as well as an original voice recording of

Film and television work

Max Richter has created numerous film and television soundtracks over the years. He rose to prominence with his score to Ari
Folman's Golden Globe-winning film Waltz with Bashir in 2007,[50] in which he supplanted a standard orchestral soundtrack with
synth-based sounds and winning him the European Film Award for Best Composer. He also scored the independent feature film
Henry May Long, starring Randy Sharp and Brian Barnhart, in 2008, and wrote the music for Feo Aladag's film Die Fremde (with
additional music by Stéphane Moucha).[51]
In 2010 Dinah Washington's "This Bitter Earth" was remixed with Richter's "On the Nature of Daylight" for the Martin Scorsese film
Shutter Island.[52] In July 2010, "On the Nature of Daylight" and "Vladimir's Blues" were featured throughout the
BBC Two two-part
drama Dive, which was co-written by BAFTA-winning Dominic Savage and Simon Stevens. "On the Nature of Daylight" was also
featured in an episode of HBO's television series Luck.[53] Four tracks—"Europe, After the Rain", "The Twins (Prague)",
"Fragment", and "Embers"—were used in the six-part 2005 BBC documentary
Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solutionproduced
by Laurence Rees.[54] Richter also wrote the soundtrack to Peter Richardson's documentary, How to Die in Oregon,[55] and the score
to Impardonnables (2011) directed by André Téchiné.[56]

An excerpt of the song "Sarajevo" from his 2002 album Memoryhouse was used in the international trailer for the Ridley Scott film
Prometheus. The track "November", from the same album, was featured in the international trailer for Terrence Malick's 2012 film,
To the Wonder, and in the trailer for Clint Eastwood's 2011 film, J. Edgar. Films featuring Richter's music released in 2011 include
French drama Sarah's Key by Gilles Paquet-Brenner, and David MacKenzie's romantic thriller Perfect Sense. In 2012 he composed
the scores for Henry Alex Rubin's Disconnect, and Cate Shortland's Australian-German war thriller Lore. Richter again collaborated
with Folman on The Congress, which was released in 2013.

Richter is also the composer of the original soundtrack for the HBO series The Leftovers created by Damon Lindelof and Tom
Perrotta, which was premiered in June 2014. Some of these compositions are included in the albums Memoryhouse and The Blue
Notebooks.[57]

In 2016, Richter composed the score to "Nosedive", an episode of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror. Also that year, he scored Luke
Scott's debut feature Morgan and the political thriller Miss Sloane, while his piece "On the Nature of Daylight" opened and closed
Denis Villeneuve's film Arrival. He composed all the music inBBC One's drama Taboo which was broadcast in January and February
2017.[58]

Ballet, opera and stage works

Richter wrote the score to Infra as part of a Royal Ballet-commissioned collaboration with dancer Wayne McGregor and artist Julian
Opie. The production was staged at the Royal Opera House in London in 2008. In 2011, Richter composed a chamber opera based on
neuroscientist David Eagleman's book Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives. The opera was choreographed by Wayne McGregor and
premiered at the Royal Opera House Linbury Studio Theatre in 2012. The piece received positive reviews, with London's Evening
Standard saying "[it] fits together rather beautifully".[59] Their collaboration continued in April 2014 with Wayne McGregor's
'Kairos'; a ballet set to Richter's recomposition of the Four Seasons and part of a collaborative program involving three different
choreographers titled 'Notations' with Ballett Zürich.[60] In April 2014 it was also announced that Richter and McGregor will
collaborate again together on a new full-length ballet for summer 2015, as part of the 2014–15 Royal Opera House season.[61] In
2012/13, Richter contributed music to The National Theatre of Scotland's production of Macbeth, starring Alan Cumming. The play
opened at New York's Lincoln Centre and subsequently moved to Broadway.[62] The company had previously used Richter's 'Last
Days' in their acclaimed production ofBlack Watch.

Other collaborations
In 2010, Richter's soundscape The Anthropocene formed part of Darren Almond's film installation at the White Cube gallery in
London. The composer has also collaborated with digital art collective Random International on two projects, contributing scores to
the installations Future Self (2012),[63] staged at the MADE space in Berlin, and Rain Room (2012/13) at London's Barbican
Centre[64] and MOMA, in New York.[65]
