Which release is Max Richter's eight-hour ambient work Sleep?

• A. Max Richter - Sleep (2015)
• B. Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports (1979)
• C. Hiroshi Yoshimura - Music for Nine Postcards (1982)
• D. Aymé - The Man Who Could Walk Through Walls (1941)

Answer: (A)

Sleep represents Max Richter’s eight-hour ambient work released in 2015, crafted as a continuous, sleep-friendly soundscape. The music unfolds slowly, with gentle piano, soft strings, and ambient textures that evolve over hours, inviting a calm, drifting state as you fall asleep and stay asleep. That long, designed-for-sleep format is what makes it the best fit for the description. By contrast, Brian Eno’s Ambient 1: Music for Airports is an influential ambient release from the late 1970s, but it’s not by Richter and isn’t eight hours long in its standard form. Hiroshi Yoshimura’s Music for Nine Postcards is another early ambient work by a different artist. The remaining option is not a modern ambient release. So the correct match is Sleep.
