In A Landscape is a record about “reconciling polarities”, as Richter puts it, bringing together the electronic and the acoustic, the human and the natural world, the big questions of life and the quiet pleasures of living. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 19-track album began life in summer 2022 as a natural counterweight to the urgent political tenor of his previous projects. Shifting focus to Richter’s immediate surroundings, In A Landscape marks out a psychic space in which to meditate on the present while recognising a lifetime of artistic influence, from Bach and Purcell to the poetry of Keats, Wordsworth and Anne Carson. “It’s me having a look around, trying to examine where I'm at,” he suggests, “like a memoir of the present moment.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn A Landscape is his first solo album recorded at Studio Richter Mahr, the minimalist, eco-conscious creative retreat designed and operated by Richter and his wife, visual artist Yulia Mahr. “The whole building is like an instrument,” he says. “There's an element of exploring the capabilities of the building, how all the spaces sound, all the textures, and trying to dicover the fingerprint it has.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe creative process was deliberately minimal, with Richter writing notation by hand and restricting his palette to just a few colours: string quintet, grand piano, Hammond organ and MiniMoog, plus tape delays, vocoders and reverbs. “I’m always looking for ways to get to the essence of things, to get to the simplest version of everything.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in this package: 2x 140g green recycled vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSIDE A\u003cbr\u003eThey Will Shade Us With Our Wings\u003cbr\u003eLife Study I\u003cbr\u003eA Colour Field (Holocene)\u003cbr\u003eLife Study II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSIDE B\u003cbr\u003eAnd Some Will Fall\u003cbr\u003eLife Study III \u003cbr\u003eThe Poetry of Earth (Geophony)\u003cbr\u003eLife Study IV \u003cbr\u003eOnly Silent Words \u003cbr\u003eLife Study V \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSIDE C\u003cbr\u003eLate and Soon \u003cbr\u003eLife Study VI \u003cbr\u003eAndante \u003cbr\u003eLife Study VII\u003cbr\u003eA time mirror (Biophony)\u003cbr\u003eLife Study VIII \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSIDE D\u003cbr\u003eLove Song (after JE) \u003cbr\u003eLife Study IX \u003cbr\u003eMovement, Before All Flowers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Max Richter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57430993666379,"sku":"5882357","price":5.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/6169\/9915\/files\/D2C_Transparent_281_29.png?v=1779695728","url":"https:\/\/vinylvintage.shop\/products\/in-a-landscape-exclusive-2lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
