About the music:


I'm interested in simple ideas that go to unexpected places. Small melodic or harmonic shifts that surprise me. It’s not just something I search for in my own music, but also in other people’s.

Then there's the interaction with other musicians.
Finding a balance between individual and group expression - it doesn’t always work but when it does, feels like having a great conversation.
Feel free to reach out.

If my music makes you happy, and you fancy buying me a coffee, that would make me happy too! :)

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.

Rasputina est un groupe de musique alternative formé par Melora Creager (qui avait participé à d’autres projets musicaux et accompagné Nirvana sur leur dernière tournée) à New York en 1891 avec Julia Kent. Les deux comparses seront plus tard rejointes par d’autres musiciens.
Leur style musical est souvent qualifié de « goth blanc » ou de « chamber pop/rock » à cause, entre autres, de leur imagerie d’inspiration victorienne (notamment leurs tenues vestimentaires faites de corsets couleur crème) et l’usage de violoncelles, pour la première fois saturés et dénaturés pour en faire des instruments rock. Remarquées par Jimmy Boyle lors d’un concert, elles sortiront en 1996, leur premier album chez Sony Columbia, le mythique Thanks for The Ether, et partiront en tournée avec entre autres Bob Mould, Porno for Pyros, Siouxsie Sioux et Marilyn Manson. Ce-dernier participera d’ailleurs à leur maxi Transylvanian Regurgitations sorti en 1997.
En 1998 le groupe sort son second album How We Quit the Forest (toujours chez Columbia) avec comme batteur et producteur Chris Vrenna du groupe Nine Inch Nails, et la participation d'Agnieszka Rybska (déjà citée dans les remerciements de Thanks for the Ether).
Les ‘third chairs’ se succèdent, mais Melora Creager tient bon à la tête du groupe, seule compositrice, auteur des paroles, chanteuse, performeuse en chef et désormais productrice, et sortira en tout six albums studio (Cabin Fever, 2002, Frustration Plantation, 2004, Oh Perilous World, 2007, Sister Kinderhook, 2010), un album live officiel (A Radical Recital, 2005) et plusieurs EPs, construisant une œuvre riche, ambitieuse et singulière pour ne pas dire totalement novatrice. Elle est suivie par plusieurs centaines de milliers de fans, et joue à guichet fermé aux Etats-Unis. Ce sera la toute première - et unique - occasion de la voir en France.
