With the recent release of his new album 'Underwater', the Italian composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi has made this video in which the artist performs the songs from this new work live from his home. 

'Underwater' was born in confinement, taking advantage of the rare opportunity to write songs in the purest and most intimate state: just Einaudi and his piano. 'Underwater' features 12 transcendent solo piano tracks, beautifully showcasing his unmistakable musical style that is recognized around the world. The album cover is featured with a photograph taken by Einaudi which perfectly encapsulates the sentiment of the album. 

In the process of creating 'Underwater' during the pandemic, Einaudi explains: “The music came naturally, more than ever before. I felt a sense of freedom to abandon myself and let the music flow freely. I didn't have a filter between me and what was coming out of the piano; I felt very pure. The title 'Underwater' is a metaphor: it is an expression of a very fluid dimension, without interference from the outside.” 

For Einaudi, 'Underwater' is a deep dive to another place, where we can swim freely without thoughts, without travel and without the usual rush of touring. Here time stops, because these songs without lyrics become hypnotic, each one of them endowed with an innocent and delicate beauty. 

Einaudi is one of the most ubiquitous contemporary composers of the century. He repeatedly tops the classical charts worldwide, and has become the most widely circulated classical artist of all time.
