Mike Beever is a UK born composer living in New Zealand. He is known initially for producing the band Coldplay’s first ever EP which was an independent release on Fierce Panda Records. The band went on to sign with Parlophone after the EP charted.
Mike has also written music for the Sony Vaio Laptop campaign. He is a trained piano concert technician and specialises in piano voicing and his particular style has been compared to Ludovico Eindaudi, Philip Glass, Max Richter and Yanns Tierson to name a few.
Mike’s style can be described as atmospheric, emotive, beautiful, uplifting, cinematic and thought provoking. His production skills allow him to record pianos better than most other composers thanks to his knowledge of piano design and voicing. He regularly experiments with piano touch, voicing and recording methods to achieve incredible piano recordings.
