Experience by Ludovico Einaudi
Experience is a Ludovico Einaudi composition, track 12 of his album In a Time Lapse, released by Decca on 21 January 2013, and it runs 5 minutes 15 seconds. The recording pairs Einaudi's piano with Daniel Hope on violin and the orchestra I Virtuosi Italiani, and Decca describes it as Einaudi's most popular piece to date. The best-known story about it comes from film. The Canadian director Xavier Dolan told the radio programme The Frame that hearing Experience made him write a scene, which he later built the whole film around. In the finished film, Mommy, the song plays when the mother imagines an optimistic future. Mommy was released in 2014, won the Jury Prize at Cannes that year, and is shot in a square one-to-one frame. Experience found a second audience on TikTok in 2021 and 2022. It was used in a TikTok trend about manifestation, and by January 2022 videos using the track had drawn more than 15 billion views across almost 7 million creations. Decca's tenth-anniversary edition of the album adds a remix of Experience by Starkey, which was used in a British Airways advertisement, and Circles, a vocal version based on the piece. Both appear as bonus material on that edition, apart from the album track.
