ANDY PAVLOV
Andy Pavlov a.k.a. Andrija Pavlovic (1980) is a pianist, composer, producer, researcher, innovator and professor born in Belgrade (Yugoslavia), based in the Netherlands. He finished his studies at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Rostock, Germany and PhD studies based on “Quantum Music” project at the Faculty of Music Arts Belgrade. He works as a professor of applied music at the Department of Scenic Design, Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad, Serbia.
His music, which traverses styles and borders, reflects his deep-rooted statelessness. Taking inspiration from musicians such as Simeon Ten Holt, Erik Satie, John Cage, Thelonious Monk, Gurdjieff/De Hartmann and Ruben Gonzales Andy developed a style uniquely his own, which merges the sensitivity of classical music with minimalism, always following the bold desire to experiment, creating music for the heart and soul classical, neoclassical piano music, indie classical, jazz, electronic music.
His music is published by Universal Music, Donemus and Sweet Sensation label.
In 2004, Together with pianist and composer Sonja Loncar, he established piano duo LP Duo (www.lpduo.com), named one of the 8 best piano duos at the biggest world competition for two pianos, Miami Dranoff Two Piano Competition, in 2008.

Me and My Love on The Road to Honduras
His first album “Me and My Love on The Road to Honduras – The Minutes after Infinity for Solo Piano” (Universal Music, 2020), was inspired by the depth and mystery of a period in his life when everything he thought he knew evaporated, and great love, a home and understanding of the self emerged from a fog.
This album is a Diary of a Great Love.
“The album is the author’s “Decameron” in just over ten days or his answer to Krzysztof Kieslowski and Zbigniew Preisner’s epic “Three Colors: Blue, White, Red”. In terms of sensibility, it is perhaps closest to the recent works (mainly applied music) of Max Richter, and above all to the soundtrack of the “Leftovers” series. With unexpected layers and homages to Preisner, Liszt, Satie… and under the strong influence of Slavic musical heritage.” Popdepresija
In Love with an Armenian Girl
The composition has a very special atmosphere. Imagine the streets of New York set somewhere in the West of Asia—a road movie unfolding amidst mystical Asian landscapes. It is written using the third modal scale (Phrygian scale), characteristic of Persian, Hindu, Middle Eastern, Turkish, and Balkan music. “In Love with an Armenian Girl” is dedicated to the beauty of all West Asian women and is also homage to the master, Georgi Gurdjieff.
Nemirni (Music from the original TV series vol. 1)
The first of four music releases featuring entirely original compositions for the TV series Nemirni. Andy Pavlov showcases his talent, musical taste, and ability to seamlessly transition between genres. Volume 1 includes six tracks: “Opening Scene” with Lidija Andonov’s beautiful high vocals; “Car Chase,” where Andy plays a gritty fretless bass guitar; “In The Dark Bar”; “And What If Everything Doesn’t Turn Out Okay?”—two jazzy and mysterious tracks; “Dreams,” a moody, downbeat track with an introspective and subconscious atmosphere; and “Sirota,” where Andy transforms into a Balkan folk singer with a touch of trashy wedding clichés.
Nemirni (Music from the original TV series vol. 2)
The second of four music releases featuring entirely original compositions for the TV series Nemirni. Volume 2 includes ten tracks of orchestral, dark cinematic music.
Nemirni (Music from the original TV series vol. 3)
The third of four music releases featuring entirely original compositions for the TV series Nemirni. Volume 3 includes four piano tracks in Andy’s signature style, characterized by a very soft and gentle sound.
Nemirni (Music from the original TV series vol. 4)
The fourth of four music releases featuring entirely original compositions for the TV series Nemirni.
The songs “Life Passes Slowly” and “Sweet Sensation” were created between Belgrade, Berlin, and Amsterdam, representing a leap forward in their creativity and sound. Lidija Andonov (vocals), Laslo Antal (synthesizers and guitar), and Andy Pavlov (synthesizer, guitar, bass guitar) create a unique magical soundtrack, like a runaway tribe that cannot find its place in today’s world and is constantly searching for its own equilibrium. In tracks of unusually long duration (7 and 8 minutes), the musicians seem to want to extend the moment in which they lead listeners through a newly established world and imaginary soundscapes. It feels as if, when the songs stop, life itself stops as well.
