Max Richter is composing music that has extended beyond the
category of Classical. On THE BLUE NOTEBOOKS (40'36"), a
pianist as well as an ensemble of stringed instruments and
musicians carry out the compositions in chamber music mode.
Behind the alternating troupe and solo passages, Richter has
skillfully integrated electronic pulses, field recordings, spoken
word and evocative ambient-scapes in a way that connects the
synthesized and the acoustic parts into a wonderful musical
union. The 11 genre-bending compositions are at times thought
provoking while elsewhere mind clearing. Ranging in colour and
mood, from the dreamy and textured to the idyllic and
sentimental as well as pieces which explore the more
adventurous aspects of atmospheric music, Richter's is an
Ambient Music that asks to be heard.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from THE BLUE
NOTEBOOKS by Max Richter

302 acid live on STAR'S END - 09.18.05

302 acid combine elements of computer technology with live
instrumentation. Improvisation plays an integral role in the way
they approach both composition and live performance. The
result is a heavily-layered sound that draws influence from dub,
ambient and IDM. The trio returns to STAR'S END for another live
in-studio on-air concert on the broadcast of 09.18.05.
