I've just got home from the most incredible concert by Ludovico Einaudi at the Barbican in London - Ludo is an Italian composer and classical pianist. It's difficult to describe his type of music, though on his website it's described as 'minimalist, classical, ambient, contemporary'. I listen to a lot of Ludo when I'm editing images, it helps put me in the right frame of mind - I also like to use his music to image slide shows. The concert was mainly themed around his new album Nightbook, he also played several of his older/popular compositions. I didn't take a camera with me but as we were in the front row I could not resist trying to get some images with my iPhone. There was just enough ambient light to get a couple of acceptable shots - the colour shots were particularly grainy so I've black and whited and heavily vignetted to get the image below of Mauro (the guy sat on the cushion) and Ludo sat at his piano. If you're not familiar with his music you're really missing out. If you try it and like it, he's performing 5 more dates in the UK next week and at the Albert Hall on 2nd March next year.
