A 10th-anniversary European tour of Solipsism is scheduled for November 2025

“Solipsism is the idea that reality only exists in one’s mind.
I called this album Solipsism because I wanted to prove to myself that
the opposite is true – that we are all deeply connected”
Joep Beving

Ten years ago, the then unknown Dutch musician Joep Beving posted an album of solo piano pieces he had written and recorded in his Amsterdam home on an online music service. Presenting what Beving has since called “simple music for complex emotions”, that album, Solipsism, has gone on to touch millions of lives all over the world, having achieved gold status and over 340 million total streams to date. Since signing with Deutsche Grammophon in 2017, Beving has surpassed the landmark figure of one billion streams across his UMG catalogue and become one of the world’s most frequently heard pianists.

Initially released in August 2015, Solipsism was reissued by DG two years later. Now, to mark the 10th anniversary of the original release, Beving has re-recorded its timeless, introspective tracks to create Solipsism Redux. The new version will be released on 8 August 2025, digitally and as a limited-edition vinyl album. A first single, “Sleeping Lotus (Redux)”, will be available digitally on 13 June. Beving undertakes a 10th-anniversary album tour of Europe in November, while a live performance filmed in January at ConcertLab, a state-of-the art venue in Utrecht, will be premiered exclusively on STAGE+ on 23 August.

Before going into the studio earlier this year, Beving retreated to a friend’s woodland cabin for two days to revisit Solipsism. Some of the tracks he’d played many times in the decade since its release, others not at all. The slower tempos of the resulting reimagined version, Solipsism Redux, retain his essentially minimalistic style, adding further layers to the music’s contemplative nature.

“Solipsism was the start of a 10-year exploration of our relationship to reality,” says Beving. “And I’m grateful for what I’ve learned, for the people I’ve met, and for the moments of peace this music still brings me.”
