The video stars Elisabeth Moss. She shared this about Richter: “It just changed the way that I heard music. It changed what I thought a score could be. Since then, I’ve actually managed to weasel my way into becoming friends with him and he’s done some of the music on The Veil, my new show. And in a full circle moment I got to produce and star in the music video for ‘On the Nature of Daylight,’ and I also got to use it in The Handmaid’s Tale, in an episode that I directed. But that piece, and then Max Richter as an extension of that as a composer, so much of his music is a constant inspiration for me. It is the thing that I can listen to and it immediately puts me in whatever place I need to be as an actor. It’s so often what I use as a temp score as a director, and for me, it defines so much of the work and the characters that I play.”

Max Richter’s The Blue Notebooks draws from Kafka’s “The Blue Octavo Notebooks”, where Kafka’s reflections on alienation and doubt resonate with the themes of the record. The Blue Notebooks was conceived as a protest record, a response to what was happening in politics around the build-up to the Iraq war where I was really struck with doubt about what was happening. And I thought about Kafka, who’s the patron saint of doubt, and I thought about making a piece which expressed everything, so we recorded this.
