This guide analyzes the mechanics of the "felt piano," the impact of low-frequency transients on the brain, and the essential role of human curation by labels like Klangspot Recordings.

This song is pretty great

On some days it is very difficult to hold the tears in, they are part of the "On The Nature of Daylight" package in my opinion.

26/02/2004 | Happy Release Day 2004 | Max Richter - The Blue Notebooks Deutsche Grammophon #maxrichter #deutschegrammophon @maxrichtermusic @dgclassics Pitchfork: „If, however, there is one piece that fires The Blue Notebooks off into the stratosphere, it's the aforementioned "Shadow Journal". Featuring a lone viola, some burbling electronics, a harpsichord and a subterranean bassline, it establishes a simple, keening melody and then gently pulls it wide, like warm string taffy, across its eight minutes.“ Allmusic: „The Blue Notebooks is a stunning album, and one that should be heard not just by classical and electronica fans, but anyone who values thoughtful, subtly expressive music.“ BBC: „The sparse soundscapes are entirely convincing, however they are best explored with a great set of headphones or a capable stereo to make the most of the nuances that create an interesting listening experience.“ Sputnikmusic: „So much of The Blue Notebooks, in fact, is so perfectly composed and so emotionally invested that the only real complaint I can think of isn’t much of a complaint at all: the album simply feels too short.“ Resident Advisor: „Richter is a storyteller and devoted reader, and The Blue Notebooks is full of literary references, from Nabokov to Lucretius. However, the LP's story is kept deliberately nebulous, left wide open to the individual listener to interpret.“ The Guardian (The best classical music works of the 21st century) „Written in the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, The Blue Notebooks is Max Richter’s meditation on violence and war, one that was recorded in three hours.“ „I structured the work around a series of readings by Tilda Swinton from the works of Franz Kafka. I think of Kafka as a sort of patron saint of doubt, and his writing spoke to the bleak absurdity of that political moment for me. Balancing the Kafka texts are extracts from Czesław Miłosz, a sort of anti-Kafka, for whom the universe is redeemed by human creativity and compassion. I wrote the piece to meander through music history – quoting and recontextualising musical texts – the music I had run to as a child to escape my own reality.“ https://www.instagram.com/p/CacCINesD8Q/?utm_medium=tumblr
