Post

Berlin, 5 May. As Joep Beving celebrates the landmark achievement of surpassing one billion streams across his UMG catalogue, he unveils the four-track Post EP. His latest Deutsche Grammophon release includes the eight-minute single version of Post, two different edits of the track and a remix. Also out today are the 10-inch vinyl version of the Post single and an e-single featuring the upbeat Delyrian Remix, available in Dolby Atmos.  

Speaking about the remix, for which he’s added his own lyrics, Beving says: “I’m known for melancholy music so I deliberately chose to do something cheerful that people can dance to. It’s like something you’d hope to hear at a summer festival, something that is joyful and hopefully gets the message across that life is worth living.” 

Five years in the making, Post is a work full of rich instrumental colour that evolved organically and collaboratively. Beving worked with Luke Flowers (piano, synthesiser, percussion), Tugce Albayrak (ney flute), and members of Bulgarian Voices Berlin, Scoring Berlin and Filmorchester Babelsberg. They recorded the piece from different locations, using state-of-the-art streaming software. Beving then joined forces with Dutch writer-director Hugo Keijzer (The Occupant) and production company MikeTeeVee to create a moving short film set to and inspired by his music.

Henosis

Dutch composer and pianist Joep Beving releases his third album, Henosis today on Deutsche Grammophon – the album marks the final volume in a trilogy of albums that comprises Beving's debut album Solipsism and his sophomore album Prehension. This album also marks the end of an intensely personal four-year spiritual and philosophical exploration for the acclaimed composer/pianist.

Prehension

In advance of Dutch composer and pianist Joep Beving's second album Prehension on Deutsche Grammophon, comes a short film by Iranian-Dutch artist Rahi Rezvani that captures Joep's distinct musical world. Joep says of this video, "I met Rahi Rezvani by chance some years ago. Little did I know then that this encounter would result in the great collaboration we have today. It is a privilege to work with someone who manages to translate my musical world into images and stories so seamlessly." Beving has become a one-man success story  after – writing, recording and releasing his debut album Solipsism which has been streamed nearly 60 million times globally. "I call it ‘simple music for complex emotions,'" says Joep, summing up its universal appeal. "The world is a hectic place right now and I feel a deep urge to reconnect on a basic human level with people in general. Music as our universal language has the power to unite."
