Joep Beving

Joep Beving has been one with the piano from an early age. His style of playing has changed over the years, searching for a particular aesthetic essence. His path was illuminated by a piano that Beving inherited from his grandmother when she passed away in 2009. This German instrument insisted on a gentler touch and a gracious pace, which eventually led Beving to adapt to a more classical vocabulary to tell his story.

His debut album ‘Solipsism’ investigates the self and how it is related to the other by trying to show we have a shared understanding of what it is to be human. For ‘Prehension’ Beving describes realizing he had zoomed out from the individual level to the level of the collective. ’Henosis’ was the last step, in which Beving’s destination is the vastness of the cosmos in search of “ultimate reality and emptiness of the mind”. With his fourth solo album ’Hermetism’, released in summer 2022, he return to his roots with a pure piano solo album.
