Ludovico Einaudi (1955) is an Italian neoclassical pianist and composer. Having studied composition in Milan and subsequently with Luciano Berio, he produced a number of chamber, orchestral and dance theatre works in the 1980s. In the mid-1990s, he started to write film soundtracks and released his solo debut album “Le Onde” (1996). Einaudi celebrated massive success with piano pieces that incorporated electronic influences, such as “I Giorni” (2001), “Nightbook” (2009), and “In A Time Lapse” (2013).
