Paul Heinerman

Paul Heinerman (born in Rotterdam, Netherlands; †) was a Dutch composer and musician dedicated to cosmopolitan music and melodic New Instrumental Music. He began his career as a keyboardist in various bands before pursuing his own musical visions as a composer and producer. Inspired by artists such as Elton John and other instrumental works, Heinerman employed state-of-the-art synthesizers and MIDI technology, yet always placed the natural sound of the grand piano at the heart of his compositions.

His works are built on carefully crafted themes with a strong cinematic quality, inviting listeners on atmospheric musical journeys. Travels to islands like Crete, walks along beaches, sunsets, and encounters with different cultures provided ongoing inspiration for his music. With his debut album The Ancient World, Heinerman sought to convey the impressions of a dreamlike journey into the past and the atmosphere of ancient Mediterranean sites. Though Paul Heinerman has sadly passed away, his music continues to resonate with audiences around the world.
