Ashot Danielyan Finds Meaning in the In-Between Notes in “Spontanious Piano Journeys”

Ashot Danielyan has released his full-length piano album, “Spontanious Piano Journeys.” When you talk about Ashot, he comes across as one of those artists who lets his piano do the talking instead of over-explaining himself. His strength lies in improvisation that is deeply felt and patiently shaped. You can hear his background in classical, ambient, new-age, and experimental music, but nothing feels restricted. The piano feels like his home base where every note sounds intentional, even when its spontaneous. There’s a calm texture to his playing, like someone who trusts silence as much as sound. His international recognition makes sense because his music doesn’t rely on language, trends, or context. What stands out most about Ashot is his expressive music style.

"Ashot Danielyan’s keyboard tunes stay with you quietly, long after the last note fades."

 His recent album, “Spontanious Piano Journeys” feels like a flawless performance stretched in one go. Comprising 10 songs, starting with “Warm Winter,” it gently sets a reflective mood that feels both comforting and slightly distant. “9 AM” has a morning freshness to it with simple phrases, unhurried pacing, and a feeling of quiet awakening. “Almost Nobody Wants To Be A God Here” is one of the most emotionally loaded titles, and the music matches that weight with restraint and tension. “Morning in C Maj” feels lighter, almost playful, like a breath pause before going deeper. “Cold Winter” mirrors its counterpart but feels more inward, more solitary, with lingering notes that hang in the air.

“In D Minor” leans into melancholy without becoming heavy. “Before Man” nods to tradition while still sounding personal and free. “Story in C-Sharp” lives up to its name—it unfolds slowly, like a quiet confession. The closing track “Old Habits Die Hard,” ends the album on a reflective note, circling back to familiar emotions rather than forcing resolution.  Even though there are no lyrics in the album, the storytelling is top notch. Each piece feels like a chapter rather than a standalone track. Trust us, this album feels best experienced in one sitting, letting the moods flow naturally. It’s not background music,  but it doesn’t demand attention either,—it gently earns it.
