Ludovico Einaudi’s new project Nightbook is an exhilarating journey through the different emotional states between light and darkness.   A dramatic and more expressive musical meditation than Divenire, this project brings together a six piece group combining the piano with strings, percussion and live electronics from Robert Lippok, who is one third of the post-rock trio To Rococo Rot.

The project grew out of the ideas and ‘musical sketches’ that Einaudi jotted down in a notebook whilst on tour around the world.  Einaudi describes the project as: “A night-time landscape. A garden faintly visible under the dull glow of the night sky. A few stars dotting the darkness above, shadows of the trees all around. Light shining from a window behind me. What I can see is familiar, but it seems alien at the same time. It’s like a dream—anything may happen.”  The album Nightbook is out now on Decca.
