The Blue Notebooks

by Max Richter

The Blue Notebooks cover art

Composed as a protest against the invasion of Iraq, 'The Blue Notebooks' is a profound work of modern minimalism. The album features Tilda Swinton reading Kafka over mournful string arrangements and subtle field recordings. It is a haunting, cinematic meditation on memory and violence.
