The Work of Max Richter is a COVID-19 toolkit must. The intention for my sound meditations are to help us STAY AWAKE yet still open hearted in order to continue to show up in the world, which needs us to do so... but sound can also help us sleep. As I started researching how sound might help us do this, I came across an artist whose work has gracefully delved into "What kind of music would I want if I am sleeping?" (LINK to it here) Max Richter sees music as an extension of natures balance and symmetry...for growth. Max Richter' sleep music for your Covid-19 coping kit.  Max Richter does music compositions for sleep - One lasts 8 hours - this link is called SLEEP 2 & lasts 2 minutes... As a hospice chaplain, I support many in the scariest places they have ever journeyed: to the edge of life. It is the edge of our known world. My intention in my own work is to walk with people to enough ease...to support people in staying awake...while actively giving care in the world. Because insomnia is rampant here...on the edge of the known world...and we need "a place to rest".  Max Richter walking in a Los Angeles outdoor venue with an interviewer...before the concert there in 2018 And he made music (and a film) for SLEEPING PEOPLE..."to help us navigate our way through the chaos that we live in..."  Max Richer at the Sydney Opera House...performing sleep Max Richter Composes with the symmetry of nature... Max Richter composed a piece of music that lasts 8 hours and is derived from the symmetry of nature. He has, before COVID-19 restrictions, performed it to sleeping audiences...on cots in symphony halls and outside in amphitheatres for eight hours. It is lovely. I would like to recommend it and many other sleep pieces for your COVID-19 coping tool kit We need to find harmony and growth. Max Richter sees it in fibonacci numbers and the symmetry of nature... May it help you too this holiday season.
