Wow! I'm sitting by my window with my coffee and laptop, working on edits, and I have Ludovico Einaudi playing on Youtube and thought...is he here?
And he is! @ludovicoeinaudioff.bsky.social
Beautiful stuff! Check out 'Waterways' for an introduction if you've never listened before.

There are thin tubes that connect the corner of your eye to your nose.
The tears that don’t run down your face will drain into your nose, which is why your nose runs when you cry.
Keep the tissues close as you pivot to romantic holiday movies this season.
