“There’s something about sitting there—just me, the keys, and the silence. No beats, no drops. Only raw emotion.”
Amid the euphoric rush of electronic dance music, Armin van Buuren found space in the quiet to write his most honest music yet. As someone who knows better than anyone what moves a crowd, he set out to discover what moved him. And often, that instrument is the piano.
Containing 15 intimate piano songs recorded with a live string ensemble, this album shows a different side to the world-famous DJ and producer: more personal, more emotional.
First written on his Steinway, then arranged into proper scores alongside piano teacher Geronimo, this body of work is saturated with the vulnerability of stepping beyond his comfort zone: swapping the grandiosity of the mainstage for rich piano tones lingering in silence. It’s pure, reflective, and as much as the beat-driven music he’s released over his storied career—100% Armin van Buuren.
All 15 tracks were recorded in one take at ConcertLab in Utrecht.
