Ludovico Einaudi has announced a brand-new collaborative EP with his son Leo Einaudi. Einaudi vs Einaudi sees eight tracks from Ludovico’s chart-topping album The Summer Portraits reimagined by Leo - an accomplished producer, songwriter and film composer whose work spans stage and screen.
Their long-running creative relationship takes centre stage in this compelling new project. Ludovico explains: “For several years now, I have been engaged in a musical exchange with Leo, collaborating on various projects, films, and more. There has always been a strong understanding between us, and in addition to having a musical sensibility very close to mine, Leo possesses an artistic sensitivity that I perceive as deeply personal. This is why Einaudi vs Einaudi offers a renewed perspective on my original versions, bringing a fresh interpretation to the pieces while preserving their spirit.”
Leo adds: “From the outset of our musical connection, working with my father has always been marked by a deep sense of complicity and a true symbiosis of ideas. What has always amazed me is how natural our collaboration felt. Reimagining his songs happened with that same ease - it became a journey of constant discovery through the endless details at the heart of his music. It allowed me to see new sides of it, to let those elements enter my own imagination, and to shape them into a new form - one that respects their essence while giving them a new life.”
The first track from the EP, a reworking of Rose Bay, is out now and the full EP is set for release 29 August.
