"Sleep", by Max Richter

This way: Sleep

Jeff Twiss baseball week continues into its second week with this homage to the 18 inning game the other night . . . .

Max Richter has released an album that contains musical compositions designed specifically to help calm the nervous system and make it easier to fall asleep.

The total duration of the album "Sleep" is eight hours, which, according to Richter, provides listeners with a calm and deep eight-hour sleep. For two years, while composing music, the composer consulted constantly with an American specialist in neurology and neurobiology, David Eagleman, from Baylor College of Medicine.

Max Richter is a German-born British composer and pianist. He works within postminimalist and contemporary classical styles. Richter is classically trained, having graduated in composition from the University of Edinburgh, the Royal Academy of Music in London, and studied with Luciano Berio in Italy.  Richter arranges, performs, and composes music for stage, opera, ballet, and screen. He has collaborated with other musicians, as well as with performance, installation, and media artists. He has recorded eight solo albums, and his music is widely used in cinema.
