Intrepid Arts Reporter Braves All Eight Hours Of Max Richter’s ‘Sleep’

“My first mistake was waking up early to get groceries.
Then it was a long Friday at work, followed by a piano recital and finally a sprint downtown – where, exhausted, I was in the worst possible shape to take in one more concert. Except that the performance was Sleep, Max Richters eight-hour soundtrack engineered, with the help of scientific consultants, to provoke a relaxing night. By dozing off, I’d be doing my job.” The hardworking and tireless Joshua Barone reports.
