Richter explains: \u201cThe piece is about traveling, and in a way, [the songs] are quite existential, a meditation on the political state of London at that time and the tragedy of those events. We all knew people who had been affected by it or killed. Music is a social activity, and by definition, making any kind of statement is a political act.\u201d\r\rThe release follows Max Richter\u2019s latest album \u201cThree Worlds: music from Woolf Works\u201d, which likewise features music from his score to Wayne McGregor\u2019s ballet Woolf Works\r\rWith Infra Max Richter also responded to, amongst other things, Winterreise, Schubert\u2019s masterful, mournful gothic era song cycle based on Wilhelm Muller\u2019s bleak monodramatic poems set in a brutal winter about a questing, misunderstood wanderer whose heart, and memory, is frozen in grief\r\rAdditionally, Richter drew inspiration from borrowed fragments of T.S. Eliot\u2019s The Waste Land, and it\u2019s apprehension of chaos. However the Eliot, the Schubert, the Muller, and the dance - and Kafka and Kraftwerk \u2013 are only remotely in the room. They\u2019re memories, rumours, guiding lights, signals, prompts, pulses, a clustering of ideas and situations, a motivation for Richter to work out how to find his own way, how on earth to begin a piece of music, and where to end it, and what it means, the struggle to make something new from an inherited tradition, once it makes it into the room where we all live, now, in a world that\u2019s not quite sure what to do with itself and its collected, clashing memories.\r\rThis version, as released by Deutsche Grammophon, features one Bonus Track: \u201cSub Piano\u201d\r\r\rMax Richter piano & electronics\rLouisa Fuller / Natalia Bonner violins\rNick Barr viola\rIan Burdge / Chris Worsey cellos\r1.
