This song is a piece composed by an Italian contemporary music composer and pianist, Ludovico Einaudi. I stumbled across the piece while listening to the album Islands: Essential Einaudi. My brother told me the album was a great album to revise too. Although I wasn't doing revision, I often listen to slow music and orchestral music to complete most of my work for college, especially sketchbook work, drawing and evaluations. This song helps me to create vivid imagery in my mind, the tranquility of the soft music often creates a recurring image of a large lake, with icelandic mountains and scenery bordering the lake as far as the eye could see, as the music develops I can imagine nature within the lake such as the ripples created from diving fish or landing birds. I think I often draw this image is because I find water very calming and beautiful along with breath taking landscapes. Another song which I find highly influential on this album is Nefeli which also is a piece which continuously creates vivid scenes in my mind.
The music is helpful with my work as I previously stated, I find a slow song allows my brain to concentrate deeper and also allow my mind to reach a form of mind where I am able to deeply evaluate my work and annotate my thoughts. Not only this but I feel when listening to pieces like these I am able to sit for longer periods of time and work, for example intricate pen work.
