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.

The Coral Sea is the music project and moniker of singer songwriter Rey Villalobos. 

FULL DISCOGRAPHY ON BANDCAMP OR SPOTIFY APPLE ETC...

A Los Angeles native, Villalobos’ family originates from two different sides of the globe, México and Italy. Early on he fell in love with the Chopin nocturnes while taking classical piano lessons and still considers the nocturnes an influence today. Starting out as a drummer, Villalobos next began writing and singing and emerged with debut album “Volcano and Heart” and The Coral Sea project. 

Mastering fragile romantic nostalgia, Villalobos' music presents an intimate portrait of hauntingly sentimental and unreserved songs echoing from another era. 

New releases slated for 2022. 

“The wind that animates the music of Rey Villalobos seems to come from another time.” - Liberation

“imagine a duet Nick Cave / Mazzy Star” - Les inRocks

“so strikingly magnetic is down to the exhaustive power that sits at the heart - Gold Flake Paint

“the most magnetic and evocative song upon first listens” - Nialler 9

“Rey Villalobos shows that it only takes one guitar and one person to produce some of the most beautiful music.“- The 405

“falsettos could carry similarities to Ariel Pink or Devendra Banhart, but he softens each lyric more than they do, turning a pop ballad into a hopeful Keaton Henson song.” - Consequence of Sound

“The songwriting is very strong, cinematic even. Rey has a knack for mise-en-scène - one that’s romantic and shot like a French New Wave Film.”  - YVYNYL

“songs that crawl up your spine and stay on your mind for  days afterward. It’s atmosphere with a heavy center due to Rey Villalobos’ nearly in-tears vocals” -iTunes Indie spotlight newsletter 

“The soft, sustained chord on the piano echoes the ghost of Debussy, the simple-yet-perfect chord progression that unwaveringly touches the heart, and the ethereal, tender voice singing songs of love and of sorrow—this is the magical and singular sound of Rey Villalobos”.
