Johan Hoogewijs

Johan Hoogewijs composed mainly for film & TV. He scored for feature-films and TV-series and documentaries in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and France. His diversity, which characterizes his music, is appreciated by producers and directors. Still, his typical musical touch is recognized by many listeners. He worked with the Brussels Philharmonic, I Fiamminghi, The Metropole orchestra and wrote for and performed with Toots Thielemans.
The pandemic drove him more and more towards his piano, which resulted in recording new compositions for solo piano. As he performs, one can hear a mix of many influences: classical, jazzy, ethnic and filmic tunes, all of them very layered but yet accessible. In all of his piano music, improvisation is essential.
