My Favourite Things. 1- Music

Music is a huge part of my life.  When I'm happy I sing, when I'm sad I just listen.  From hard, industrial heavy rock to classical, I'm very eclectic.  I listen To Emilie Autumn, The Stone Roses, Enya, Clannad, Ludovico Einaudi, Muse and in the car at the moment I've got Pendulum.

Today I'm focussing on Einaudi.  My favourite track is I Giorni, because it takes me to a place where I can really relax.  His chord progressions are completely stunningly beautiful and I love how his music builds and builds and then changes and I can get lost in it.  So lost that I can listen to it at bedtime.

I also play the piano so I really appreciate how hard it is to do things which are different in each hand.  As well as being a really talented pianist he also uses orchestral instruments on his newest album "In a Time Lapse" which gives a different dimension to his music.  I listened to his album recital broadcast from home and it sounds so different but amazing just using the piano.
