Exploring a category of sounds that we don’t often get to experience in isolation, ASMR Choir brings together a unique instrument, rich in close-mic’d ‘tiny’ sounds. Focusing on the lower-dynamics, it’s the musical equivalent of someone whispering in your ear.

Recorded in the main room at Max Richter’s Studio Richter Mahr, this collection includes four separate instruments. A choir specialising in Renaissance music, including Grace Davidson (soloist in SLEEP), is at the heart of ASMR Choir, with a small string section of solo violin and cello, recorded both independently and then together with the choir, in situ. Those recordings are then used as the source for a fourth ‘processed’ instrument, drawing on analogue vocoders, a texture that Max loves and has utilised a number of times in his film scoring work.

The result is a low-dynamic, ultra-close palette of choral and string textures, providing a really special colour to add both a purity and ‘humanness’ to your score.

About Studio Richter Mahr

Studio Richter Mahr was founded by Max alongside his partner, visual artist Yulia Mahr. 

Set in the English countryside in Oxfordshire, Max and Yulia built the multimedia production studio inside a former farmhouse and have powered it with cutting-edge solar and heat-pump technology. Located within 31 acres of woodland, the duo have a huge passion for using the land to farm and provide a sustainable working environment, serving as a space where both emerging and established creatives can come to develop their work.
