I’ve been looking for music that helps encourage flow state while writing and editing. I’ve found that it has to be elegant, with very few words or ideally entirely instrumental. A friend of mine turned me on to Joep Beving, a fantastic contemporary pianist.

If you’re going to start anywhere with him, start at his 2015 album Solipsism (Spotify, Amazon)

Review taken from Amazon:

“Now available for the first time on CD, Joep Beving’s Solipsism has amassed over 81 million streams on Spotify alone. Inspired by the philosophical idea that reality only exists in one’s mind, Beving composed these introspective and often filmic piano pieces and recorded them at home in the still of night. Rejecting the often over-produced and layered music styles of today, Beving keeps the music of Solipsism stripped back to its essence: simple sounds to express complex emotions.”
