Beautifully recorded and cinematic in scope, Songs From Before carries a pensive, emotionally resonant tone. Punctuated by Robert Wyatts distinctive, understated readings of Haruki Murakamis text, the music evokes forgotten memories or lost histories, a series of bittersweet articulations that seem suspended somewhere between a dreamy sense of awe and melancholia.

The title refers to the fact that, as well as this being a kind of specimen case of music written over a long period, the album carries other music inside it — with the sources ranging from music between 5 and 300 years old — either used as starting points for Max's own writing, or submerged deep within.

Louisa Fuller / Natalia Bonner, violins

Ian Burdge / Chris Worsey, cellos
