Something for Thursday
I heard this interestingly hypnotic work on the drive to work this morning. Composer Ludovico Einaudi is someone I’d never heard of before. He has apparently done a lot of different work in a lot of different genres. Primarily a … Continue reading
I’m sorry, could you talk into my right ear instead?
