A virtual instrument of the very piano used to conceive of and compose Max Richter’s seminal work, SLEEP. Recorded at Max’s state-of-the-art recording studio, Studio Richter Mahr, nestled in the British countryside, this is a faithful rendition of the family Kawai home piano, captured with an assortment of classic microphones allowing options to control its colour. With a quite lively treble, and a beautiful sustain, this is a conversational instrument that draws you in, and is the perfect partner for crafting ideas or capturing more humble, unobtrusive performances.

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.
