Andrei Irimia (born on 17 May 1987 in Constanta – the Romanian jewel of the Black Sea coast) is a Romanian composer and pianist based in Bucharest, Romania. Andrei has played piano since the age of 8 and studied a broad variety of musical styles in his early musical endeavours.
The noughties are commonly remembered for an increase in the use of digital recording, associated with the usage of synthesisers, with synthpop music and other electronic genres featuring non-traditional instruments. It was a time when Andrei began working on his own material and started some experimental cross genre productions where he touched upon different styles.
He finally went out to the public with his debut EP “Nuit Minimaliste” in 2019, a work on solo piano, an instrument, which is, according to him, his most immediate tool to materialise ideas and feelings into something that connects with this world.
Andrei Irimia creates hypnotic, haunting and melancholic neo-classical music and his debut material is a tribute to the melancholy and lofty nonchalance of French minimalist music. His delicate melodies soothe the soul in these troubled times and resonate perfectly with the audiences.
Now, with an ever growing profile on all social media, Andrei Irimia has become one of Romania‘s most appreciated contemporary piano composers. His compositions and live performances have deeply touched thousands of Romanian listeners and his work has been featured in several soundtracks (for marketing purposes), media, short films and various corporate projects.
