Bernward Koch

Bernward Koch is a critically acclaimed German composer and pianist known for his ambient and contemporary instrumental music. Born in Siegen in 1957, Koch discovered his love for music early on, getting classical training during his childhood and further honing his skills as he grew older. His compositions are characterized by their melodic richness and emotional depth, blending elements of new age, classical, and jazz influences to create soothing and introspective pieces that resonate with audiences worldwide.

Throughout his career, Koch has composed a series of reflective and serene albums that have solidified his reputation in the genre. His work often features a blend of piano, keyboards, and flutes, accompanied by subtle electronic touches that add an ethereal quality to the music. With releases like "Tree Tales" and "An Old Fairy Tale," Koch invites listeners into a world of naturalistic storytelling, while others like "Lonely Dream" demonstrate his proficiency with the solo piano. Pieces such as "Flowing Colors" and "Becoming" evoke the dynamic processes of change and growth, with "Filled with Light" and "Touched by Love" exemplifying his ability to convey profound emotions through music. Koch's talents have allowed him to craft a discography that serves not only as a peaceful backdrop for relaxation and meditation but also as a source of deep personal introspection for his listeners.
