Description James Quinn on the piano.

Allow me to explain the title.

We had a Music-a-thon yesterday at my university. 1st year gamelan was up first and I was running around conducting everyone haha. So proud of the first years, most of them were my students.

After, a friend played a Ludovico Einaudi piece in which I started to tear up inside. WHY? I don't know! I know his music is hauntingly beautiful and sad yet happy b-but...yeh I dno. I love his music to bits, even if I do feel sad.

Then James had to come in and play another Einaudi piece, then I REALLY had to concentrate on not to cry. James is one of those students who's a bit awkward to talk to in real life but, sit him on the piano, it's a different world. He played an Einaudi song beautifully and I felt so weird inside, had goosebumps and everything. OMG, if I do see Einaudi in a concert, I WILL need to bring tissues. Lots of em!

Btw, go buy his newest album, here's a sample it's AWESOME. [link] (1:14).

Twill be scrapped later.

I would have been the same, I really do not blame you! It sounded like you had a beautiful moment in that room, that you shall never forget.

I love your illustration, and I love Nightbook. Listening to it now. It just gives you that feeling inside.

I saw him in the Warwick Art Centre and it was the last day before he went back to Italy. At the end of the consert, so many people were stamping their feet that he came back and played favourites like Divenire and Eden Roc and he kept playing for so long the encores added half the consert again! It was very long!
And your welcome.

How long did this take you? Beautiful composition. Love the shadows beneath the piano.

I am ignorant of these musicians you talk about.

Thank you!

Uh...4-5 minutes?! Really short and quick sketch since I only decided to start sketching him before the next act came on. I've noticed that my drawings are really, really messy whenever I sketch!

I highly recommend Ludovico Einaudi, his music is contemporary/ambient/classical; [link] this is the first song I heard by him on Classic FM radio and instantly fell in love, I hope you'll like him!
