"Fuori Dal Mondo" ("Not of this world") is an awarded Italian drama film directed by Giuseppe Piccioni. Ludovico Einaudi manages to strike a well balance between melodic piano tunes and experimental ambient music in this film score album, demonstrating his ability to command versatile music styles, not only classical. Without doubt, his music adds power and charm to this remarkable film.
Unlike his widely acclaimed solo piano compositions, this highly “Einaudian” musical instrument does not dominate this film soundtrack album. Cello is heavily used in introducing and developing the theme of the movie; and the two interludes, presented by percussion and female voice respectively, manage to show a dramatic transition of different emotions. Moto Perpetuo is largely made up of some brief and desultory notes, while Alta Pressione even exhibits a sophisticated flavor of electronic music, repetitive but not excessively industrial. All these endeavors remind the audience of Luciano Berio, with whom Einaudi has spent several years studying. Being one of the most important Italian musicians of the 20th century, Berio has been recognized as having great ambition in exploring new sources of music, in particular by his 1968 experimental composition Sinfonia for voices and orchestra.
