In part inspired by the writings of Henry David Thoreau, In a Time Lapse is Italian alt-classical composer Ludovico Einaudi's wondrous album that draws upon the very breath of the moment, offering an almost mystical interplay of strings, piano, and an occasional hint of electronic enhancement. The result is a vivid, instrumental album that contemplates the undulating nature of time, as seen in the movement of trees and the peaceful beauty of nature. In a Time Lapse is pure, distilled audio beauty.
