Strangers is pianist Alexander Wienand’s bold new statement — a celebration of curiosity, discovery, and the creative spark that emerges when artists step into the unknown together. The album’s concept grew from a simple but powerful idea: that unfamiliarity can be one of the greatest sources of inspiration. Whether it’s an untested rhythm, a new musical partner, or an idea outside of music entirely, these moments of uncertainty challenge musicians to respond — and it is within these reactions that true creativity is born. The title track Strangers embodies this philosophy. Two contrasting themes evolve through improvisation until they merge into a single, unified musical narrative — a metaphor for encounter, tension, and transformation.
