Dark Mode
Dark Mode
An alternative piano colour, recessed and unobtrusive. Based on the original open piano recordings of Max Richter’s Steinway Concert Grand, and processed via a curated chain of filters and EQs, the result is an already soft piano taken to the extreme - full of warmth and character, yet with very little brightness; it’s a transparent sound designed to sit underneath.

“Dark Mode really comes out of my search for a piano which can sit behind pictures, which has a kind of transparency and an unobtrusiveness.”

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.
