WHILE THE FLOOD RAGES Max Richter | Deutsche Grammophon

Oscar-nominated composer Max Richter’s album While The Flood Rages, drawn from Richter’s latest collaboration with choreographer Wayne McGregor, MaddAddam, inspired by Margaret Atwood’s trilogy.

Across 15 tracks split into three acts, Richter blends orchestral writing, electronics, processed field recordings, choir and piano to create an immersive sonic journey.
