Nightbook is the latest album created by Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi. Released in 2009, the album sees Einaudi take a new direction with his music as he incorporates synthesized sounds alongside his solo piano playing. A new approach can be seen with tracks such as "Nightbook", and "Lady Labyrinth" where the element of percussion is utilized with the piano and acts as a driving force throughout the song. In Italy the album went Gold with more than 35,000 copies sold.

The title track "Nightbook" was used in the TV advertisement for the Channel 4 drama "Any Human Heart". The track "Lady Labyrinth" is often used as background music in Top Gear specials.
