August 18, 2023 BY Jason Currell

Today, Doeke (Jorn Swart), the New York-based poignant neo-classical pianist delivers his new EP, Bewondering via Nettwerk. Featuring singles “Bergen (Moutains),” “Sterrenhemel (Starry Sky),” and “Arctic,” Doeke has paired each single with accompanied sheet music via his YouTube channel for listeners and fans to learn and play along. Bewondering is an enchanting collection of piano pieces that pays homage to the wonders of nature, and the sense of awe and inspiration they evoke. The music explores the many facets of our natural world, from the grandeur of mountains to the serenity of a starry sky. Each track captures a unique mood and feeling, yet all share a common sense of wonder and appreciation for the beauty of our planet. With its intricate melodies and Doeke’s signature melancholic piano style, Bewondering invites the listener to take a moment to reconnect with the natural world and to feel inspired to cherish it.

Doeke (Doo-kuh) is the cinematic piano project of pianist and composer Jorn Swart, known for his refined playing and emotive compositions. Doeke’s music is shaped by a desire to return to simplicity. It’s about nostalgia, it’s about home, it’s about the strange details we tend to remember from childhood. All the song titles are in Dutch, and many of the compositions are inspired by Jorn’s memories from the Netherlands. With Doeke, he leans into this quality — Doeke’s music has the narrative and emotional attributes of a film score. Following Doeke’s 2023 Libera Nominated EP, Memorie, his new EP Bewondering showcases his uniquely elegant and delicate piano sound.
