Max Richter’s sparkling scores are colorful, bittersweet, and have provided the emotional soundscape for dozens of TV and movie productions. Learn more about his work before he takes the Bing stage with the American Contemporary Music Ensemble in October.

2008 Henry May Long—This vivid period piece film set in New York’s golden age is accompanied by Richter’s grave soundtrack with motifs centered around a moving piano melody. 2010 Sarah’s Key—For this French drama’s soundtrack that focuses on an investiga- tion of Jewish treatment by Germans in Paris, Richter composed arrangements that are sometimes more haunting and tense than somber.

2016 Arrival—Though Richter was not the composer of the film’s score, composer Jóhann Jóhannsson placed his entrancing track, “On The Nature Of Daylight”, in the beginning and end of the film to set its tone. The track was also used in 2010 thriller “Shutter Island.”

2012 Disconnect—This provocative film spins a story that grapples with the damages characters’ actions online bring to them. To go with the theme of technology, Richter makes a slight departure from his usual orchestral sound to a more electronic and modern sound.

20 2016 Black Mirror: “Nosedive”—Richter’s score for “Nosedive” in the award-winning science fiction Netflix series Black Mirror offers a lonely piano theme that is then met with ambient electronic tones to surround the world obsessed with social credit ratings. 2014–2017 The Leftovers—After the sudden disappearance of two percent of the global population, a small community in New York learn to cope with the tragedy in this television series. Richter again displays his talents in minimalistic piano and electronic sounds, but the main title theme explodes with powerful drums and a wailing violin solo.

Hanggai led an early-aughts folk renaissance that saw musicians less interested in cranking amps than in investigating acoustic possibilities, and their own ethnic backgrounds, through a contemporary lens. After dominating the blossoming festival circuit at home, they performed at the world’s biggest festivals: Bonnaroo, Fuji Rock, Roskilde, and many more, and have become a leader of the new breed of band challenging what it means to play “Chinese” music.

Producer Bob Ezrin, who worked with the band on two records (not to mention with Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, and many more), talks about how the band’s music is “totally informed by their Mongolian traditions” alongside their interest in and experience with rock and pop.
