The composer

Ludovico Einaudi studied piano and composition first at the Conservatory in Milan and subsequently with the celebrated composer Luciano Berio. His composing career began with several chamber and orchestral compositions, which were performed at important international venues. In the 1980s, he began to search for a freer and more personal musical language, exploring this in a successful series of dance and multimedia works, and later on the piano with his own ensemble.

The ambient and contemplative music he writes today is a fusion of eclectic styles, drawn from his studies in the minimalist avant-garde combined with the influence of pop music. His records are best-sellers and he plays live concerts to sell-out audiences all over the world.

Einaudi’s distinctive style has ensured that his impact on the film industry over the last decade has been significant, with internationally-acclaimed film scores to Shane Meadows's This Is England, Michele Sordillo’s Acquario, Giuseppe Piccioni’s Fuori del Mondo and Luce dei mei Occhi and Roberto Andò’s Sotto Falso Nome.
