Max Richters pioneering work SLEEP the composition dubbed a gigantic lullaby by the Los Angeles Times is to be made available physically in its eight-hour entirety for the first time on 11 December.

Packaged in a beautifully designed box, this new deluxe release contains 8 CDs and a high-definition pure audio Blu-ray disc.

Now, SLEEP remixes by both new and high-profile names are available.

The first of these is by Mogwai the band Max calls darkly brilliant.

According to Crack magazine, Richter operates within a kind of Venn diagram space between alternative popular music and the avant-garde, and this remix project was born out of Maxs passion for and immersion in contemporary sounds, which to him are as culturally important as anything in the classical world.

Max Richter says of SLEEP, composed in consultation with US neuroscientist David Eagleman, This is my personal lullaby for a frenetic world a manifesto for a slower pace of existence. At the historic world premiere, he was joined by soprano Grace Davidson plus five string players, playing before an audience who were encouraged to lie on beds and experience the music through a state of sleep. The performance formed the centrepiece of BBC Radio 3s Why Music? weekend, exploring the relationship between music and the subconscious mind.

Hailed as the most influential composer of his generation, Richter creates a sound world that blends a classical training with modern technology, with work including a series of acclaimed solo albums on FatCat and Deutsche Grammophon, concert and ballet music, and scores for award-winning films and TV series, including Waltz with Bashir and HBOs The Leftovers. SLEEP and from SLEEP are part of his ongoing efforts to draw audiences back into contemporary classical music and regain a shared communion in sound.
