Now anybody can make music at home, and you can hear music on any computer without having to buy it. Everything is apparently better with all the machines we have now, but at the same time, the quality of life is not improving.
Ludovico EinaudiRead
I think what really stays with me is the idea that you can write music about the texture of a wall, and everything is in some way connected.
Interpretation

Ludovico Einaudi expresses that the essence of creativity lies in the ability to find inspiration in everyday objects and experiences, such as the texture of a wall. This suggests that everything in existence is interlinked, and artists can draw connections between seemingly mundane elements and profound artistic expression.

All quotes βAfter years of doing composition, the risk is always that you might start to repeat and be cliche. Every time, I try find a way to be reborn again as an artist. Its not easy to reinvent yourself every time, as it takes a lot of creative energy, but I am happy to do it.

Art is individualism, and individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force. There lies its immense value. For what it seeks is to disturb monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine. It seeks to show new perspectives and other choices. It is a way to help expand and liberate the consciousness; our experiences, understandings, imaginings, options and thereby our lives.
