Album Description

British composer and producer Mike Beever is known for delivering deep resonance through his emotional piano melodies. Currently based in New Zealand, he has been composing production music since 2011, collaborating with world-renowned music libraries. Renowned for his exceptional recording and engineering skills, Beever crafts profoundly immersive soundscapes.

In the late 1990s, he worked as an engineer at London’s Fierce Panda Records, where he produced Coldplay’s debut EP, Brothers & Sisters. Reuniting with Coldplay years later in New Zealand remains one of the most cherished moments of his musical journey.

His new album, Piano Extemporisations, evokes the intimate ambiance of a candlelit dinner, blending romance and sweetness with a profound resonance. While maintaining his signature style, this album also marks a turning point, offering a glimpse into a new musical direction.

Notable tracks such as Silent Reflections and When the Rain Clears stand out as emotionally charged pieces infused with jazz elements. They capture the quiet ambiance of a rainy Sunday afternoon, where raindrops linger on the windowpane, leaving a gentle and lasting impression. What Dreams May Come channels the smoky mood of a 1950s jazz bar, reminiscent of a scene from The Fabulous Baker Boys, evoking a sense of wistful nostalgia.

However, this album is more than just an exploration of new styles. Tracks like Beneath the Surface showcase Beever’s signature lyrical and soothing melodies, offering a comforting familiarity to his fans.

The album shines through its harmonious blend of familiar sentiment and fresh experimentation, showcasing Beever’s ever-evolving musical identity. By incorporating jazz influences, he introduces a refreshing new sound to his Korean audience. With Piano Extemporisations, Mike Beever not only delivers his trademark comforting melodies but also captures his musical growth and maturity—marking yet another significant milestone in his career.
