"Vienna Blue" is the seventh album from the Finnish producer Doc and the Russian pianist Lena Selyanina. Where their earlier production has been predominantly ambient music, these are more intense songs that build on Lena Selyanina's piano compositions and her expressive pianism. Stylewise the album moves in the genres of avantgarde, neoclassical, jazz and blues.

The album got its original inspiration from Franz Schubert and his music, Schubert being Lena's favourite classical composer. Some tracks like "Wanderer", "Doppelgänger" and "Der Leiermann" contain recognizable musical and thematic references to Schubert's works; for the rest of the tracks, the association is more indirect.
