Max Richter is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his landmark album Sleep with a sequel of sorts, Sleep Circle, and two London shows. The record returns to the hypnagogia of its eight-hour predecessor, presenting music composed to enhance the drifting consciousness of drowsy and dozing listeners. This one lasts 90 minutes, the length of a typical REM cycle. A song from the suite, “Dream 11 / Moth-Like Stars (Pt. 2),” is out now; check it out below. Sleep Circle is out September 5 via Deutsche Grammophon.

Richter’s London shows take place at Alexandra Palace on September 5 and 6, reviving the all-night format that he debuted around the original album’s 2015 release. These are his largest Sleep shows to date.
