Story telling through sound. 
I'm a film composer/audio engineer/educator based in LA.... with a specific interest in field recording and sound for post.

I am a songwriter in Lexington, Kentucky.

Max Richter trained in composition and piano at Edinburgh University, at the Royal Academy of Music, and with Luciano Berio in Florence.

On completing his studies, Max co-founded the iconoclastic classical ensemble Piano Circus, where he stayed for ten years, commissioning and performing works by Arvo Pärt, Brian Eno, Philip Glass, Julia Wolfe and Steve Reich.

In the late 90s he worked with a number of electronic artists, notably Future Sound of London on their album 'Dead Cities". He subsequently collaborated with FSOL over a period of two years, also contributing to the albums "The Isness" and "The Peppermint Tree and Seeds of Superconsciousness". Max also collaborated with Mercury Prize winner Roni Size, on "In the Mode".

In June 2002, Max released his debut solo album, "memoryhouse", recorded with The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. This was followed in March 2004 by FatCat's release of "The Blue Notebooks", with featured readings by Tilda Swinton.

In 2005 Max produced Vashti Bunyan's outstanding comeback album "Lookaftering".

2006 saw the release of "Songs From Before" based on Haruki Murakami texts read by Robert Wyatt. That same year, Max began performing "from The Art of Mirrors", an evolving score to previously unseen Super 8mm films of Derek Jarman.

Max's more recent work continues to stretch the notions of what Classical music is.  ‘24 Postcards In Full Colour’, released in August 2008, is an experimental work made up of 24 composed ringtones.

Max works widely in film music, installation and the theatre, most recently on INFRA, made with Wayne MacGregor and Julian Opie for The Royal Ballet, London. The Ballet was the subject of a BBC 'making of' documentary.

Max was named 2008 European Composer Of The Year for his score to Ari Folman's Waltz With Bashir, for which he was also nominated for the Prix France Musique.

Patrick Holcomb (b. 1996) is a composer based on Long Island. A member of Mensa since age nineteen, Holcomb seeks to write music that is both intellectually and emotionally engaging.  In his compositions, he makes frequent use of mensuration canons and ratios that govern recursive rhythmic and pitch relationships. He cites the time he spent studying Hindustani (North Indian) music and performing tabla and Indian harmonium under the guidance of Denise Nuttall (a student of Zakir Hussain) as one of his largest compositional influences.

Holcomb’s recent compositional honors include the 2022 ASCAP Rudolf Nissim Prize, a 2021 ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award, a 2021 American Prize in Composition, and a 2020 BMI Student Composer Award. His solo piano pieces Rapture After Schoenberg and Kandinsky and Carousel After Milhaud and Archipenko were composed on the occasion of Harmony and Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910–1930, which showed from November 8, 2024 through March 9, 2025 at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York. In addition to concert music, Holcomb also composes for visual media. His score for the 1925 silent documentary Grass: A Nation’s Battle for Life accompanied the film during its showings at the Museum of Modern Art in October and November 2023 as a part of the series Iranian Cinema Before the Revolution, 1925–1979. His music has also been featured at the Aspen Music Festival And School (in 2025), the ARTZenter Institute Emerging Composer Grant Project (in 2023), the American Composers Orchestra EarShot New Music Readings (in 2022), June in Buffalo (in 2022), the RED NOTE New Music Festival Composition Workshop (in 2022), the Bowdoin International Music Festival (in 2021), the Brevard Music Center Summer Institute and Festival (in 2019), and Connecticut Summerfest (in 2017 and 2018).

Holcomb earned his PhD in Composition from the University of Rochester Eastman School of Music, which he attended as a Robert L. and Mary L. Sproull University Fellow, in 2025. He also received an MM in Music Composition and an MM in Music Scoring for Visual Media from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in 2021. Holcomb completed his undergraduate studies at Ithaca College, from which he graduated top of his class in the School of Music (now a part of the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance) with a BM in Music Composition in 2018. His primary teachers included Claude Baker, Jorge Villavicencio Grossmann, Larry Groupé, Robert Morris, Eugene O’Brien, Evis Sammoutis, Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez, Tom Schneller, Aaron Travers, Dana Wilson, and Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon.

In addition to composing, Holcomb is also a passionate educator. He is currently Adjunct Assistant Professor of Music at Hofstra University.
