New Music To Sleep By (8-Hour Piece To Be Listened To From Bed)

“Sleep, an eight-hour piece which the the German-born British composer calls a “lullaby for a frenetic world,” will premier in Berlin this September. The overnight performance will go on from midnight to 8am, with audience members in beds rather than seats. It is set to be the longest single piece of classical yet written, and is scored for piano, strings, vocals and electronics.”
