William Carrà is a somewhat mysterious affiliate of Nicolas Jaar’s Other People record label who makes DJ mixes of eclectic sounds suited for late night. Some things they incorporate: a cappella covers of the theme from The Social Network, piano etudes, sad orchestral music, cool jazz, opera, and wandering instrumental rock. Here are three of them: Elegy, The Heart Has Its Reasons Which Reason Knows Nothing Of, Contemplative Prayer

Oh gods, this is gorgeous. I love that he samples Kanye's "Wolves" in Elegy, but just a loop of the haunting vocals and minimal beat. (Much love to Cashmere Cat and Sinjin Hawke for that production.)

Found it! It's Petra Haden, from her album "Petra Goes to the Movies".
