New Music Coming Soon – "The Piano's Secret Garden"

Over the past few months, I’ve had the opportunity to focus once again on composing new works, and I’m excited to announce my 9th album release with Silent Beat Records (Hamburg/Germany). I would like to take this opportunity to thank the label's management and project managers for our trusting and successful collaboration since 2020!

Several singles are already respectively will be released in the coming weeks, leading up to the full album release on September 26th, 2025.

The album, titled "The Piano's Secret Garden", is a musical journey toward inner peace — inspired by impressions of nature from this imagined secret garden. I invite you to explore this world through sound and emotion. Until the full release, enjoy the singles already available and those yet to come.

Release Schedule:

April 25th – Midnight Pines
May 16th – Soft Rainfall
June 6th – Ocean Whisper
July 4th – Misty Path
August 1st – Hidden Falls

I hope the music brings you as much joy as it brought me while creating it.

Ballet production 'See the Music (Hear the Dance)' by Ballet des Moines including selected movements of my Piano Sonatas 1-6

I’m thrilled to share that the Ballet Des Moines recently performed three critically acclaimed shows of See the Music (Hear the Dance), featuring the incredible choreography of Tom Mattingly. What makes this collaboration even more special is that part of the production included nine selected movements from my Piano Sonatas 1-6.

I feel very honored that Ballet Des Moines chose to incorporate my music into these stunning performances, which were held at Grinnell College, Hoyt Sherman Place, and Stephens Auditorium in Iowa/U.S. I’m grateful to have been a part of this amazing production.

If you missed the shows, don’t worry! You can still watch some astonishing excerpts from the performances on my Instagram profile. Just head over to @goetzoestlind to enjoy the highlights!

Thank you all for your continued support, and I hope you enjoy watching these beautiful moments!

I am very happy to announce that my new album has been released today - 'the year' is my personal dedication to #fannyhensel , the sister of #felixmendelssohnbartholdy .
.
She composed the piano cycle 'Das Jahr' ('the year') in 1841. My compositions reflect the different characteristics of the 12 months and are a pleasure to listen to month after month.

Today the next single 'August' of my album, which will be released in two weeks, was released - I'm already looking forward to August 16th! On the album I have set all 12 months to music in the tradition of Fanny Hensel - the sister of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy composed the cycle 'Das Jahr' ('The Year') in the 19th century.
.
Feel free to write your comments on the composition 'August' - as of today, the track can be heard in its entirety everywhere!

Today is the release day of my new single entitled 'may' - for me, the May has always been the most beautiful month of all. It smells like spring, you can already feel the summer - the green in the leaves is more vibrant than ever. Imagine if the whole year was as beautiful as May - yet most of us would miss the seasons.

My new album 'the year' will be released on August 16th - each of our 12 months has been given a musical theme. If you would like to listen to 'may' in full length now, you can find this lovely composition on all streaming platforms as of today. I hope you enjoy listening to it!

Today is release day of the first single 'march' from my new album 'the year' - the inspiration to compose an album about the different months of the year goes back to the German female composer Fanny Hensel (1805-1847). She was the older sister of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and stood in the shadow of her famous brother all her life, as it was socially undesirable in the 19th century for a female composer to come to the fore - so even some of her works were published under the name of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. Fanny Hensel composed her cycle 'The Year' in 1841 - 12 virtuoso and impressive works.

My 12 compositions from 'the year' reflect calm and peace in our uncertain times - they are intended to help the listener find their way back to themselves and gain their own strength from within. Please enjoy #march here and in total length on every streaming platform worldwide!

Today is the release day of my new album titled 'growing'. It is dedicated to a very special person in my life - you will recognize it by the sound of the whole album. The small letters also indicate who it's about :-).

Today’s single release from my upcoming album (Feb 9, 2024) is called 'pureness' - I have chosen clear harmonies in the composition, which are the basis of the simple melody, to achieve exactly the #pureness that gives the track its name. No frills, no virtuosity - just pure music that inspires you to dream and pause. Enjoy the piece on all streaming platforms from today - I hope you all enjoy listening to the whole track, which I here play as an extract on my Östlind & Almquist piano.

'safe and sound' is my latest release from my upcoming album titled 'growing' which will be released next February. Listen to how important the #lefthand is when playing the piano - only the #righthand is rarely enough for a complete listening experience. You can guess the harmonies, but you're certainly not always right - and the left hand creates so many opportunities for a composer to give the piece its character and message.
.
May all your loved ones always be #safeandsound when a situation wasn't easy! Have a good weekend everyone.

Today, the second single of my upcoming album ('growing') was released, it's titled 'my protection'.
.
You may wonder why I write the title name and the album name in small letters - the pieces are all dedicated to a very special little person and are meant to be an identification musically and in the title name.
.
This album is therefore very personal and I am happy if you take the time to listen to the full length track on your favorite streaming platform. A nice weekend to you all!

After releasing two EPs in the Grand Piano sound this year ('Nocturnes 1-5' and 'Chopin's Legacy'), the next album will again consist of compositions in the 'Felt Piano' style. It's called 'growing', will be released on Feb 9, 2024 and is dedicated to our son - I musically set his character to music in the first single 'ballade for jb' and when I listen to and play the composition, it's like a mirror of parts of his characteristics. I hope you enjoy listening to it - you can enjoy the whole piece on all streaming platforms starting today. Have a nice weekend everyone!

Today is release day of my new EP "Chopin's Legacy" - I have already released two singles in the last weeks, the total of four tracks are arrangements of famous works of the great Frédéric Chopin, two Préludes and two Nocturnes.

This is the recording of my hands playing my 'Nocturne No. 2 in F Minor, Op. 13' - this nocturne is part of the EP 'Nocturnes 1-5', which was released Friday on all streaming platforms. Five original compositions recorded in Grand Piano sound - each piece is worth listening to in its entirety. I'm happy for you to give the EP a listen, I'm going back to my compositional roots of my piano sonatas 1-6. This is music that goes into the depths of emotion.
On Amazon Music the Nocturne No. 6 is listed exclusively, but you can find the EP 'Nocturnes 1-5' on every known streaming platform. I'm looking forward to your feedback - and no, I'm not an advertiser of the 'Droid Cam OBS' :-).
Happy Easter to all of you!

Today is release day of the second composition of my EP "Nocturnes No. 1-6", which will be released on April 7th. In this video I would like to explain my composition process a bit, often it is crucial to start handwritten - as all composers around the world have done for many centuries. Today's technology simplifies many things, but the first idea always comes from the head.
.
Please take a listen, the exact title is "Nocturne No. 3 in D Flat Major, Op. 13" - a piece full of longing and with a virtuoso middle section, listen to it two or three times if you like, to be able to grasp the music even better. I am looking forward to your comments and wish you a nice weekend!

Since today 76 of my compositions are available for purchase as sheet music on www.musicnotes.com (via linktree in bio) - please take a look, from simple pieces you can play after 2 years of piano lessons to highly virtuosic works.

Most of the compositions are available for $4.99 per piece.

An exciting day! Today I released the first single of my upcoming EP "Nocturnes No. 1-5" - it's called NOCTURNE NO. 1 IN C-SHARP MINOR, OP. 13.
.
I very deliberately chose a historical title to express my appreciation for the music of the Romantic period. It is my first EP in 4 years, produced again in the "Grand Piano" sound - and each composition is always an OESTLIND at the end.
.
When I compose, I always need inner peace - and it has proven to always write the first notes with pencil in a bound music book. Like so many composers before me in the last centuries.
.
I hope you enjoy listening - the EP will be released on April 7th. And feel free to write me your feedbacks in the comments, I'm happy about every contribution!

My "Nocturne No. 6 in A Flat Major, Op. 14" is an Amazon Exclusive track, so you can hear it in full only on Amazon Music.
.
I'll explain a few principles of my approach here - the most important thing is to create a strong Main Theme, followed by variations, which are much easier to create from my point of view. As so often in life, the first idea is the right idea - I've had that a lot when composing. I hope you enjoy listening, and I'm happy about every comment!

'Back to 'Grand Piano' sound - my upcoming EPs and albums will be released in a Grand Piano sound again. After 5 highly successful 'Felt Piano' albums, now I will go back to my roots.
.
One of the upcoming EPs is dedicated to #fredericchopin - and t's an honor to have 4 masterpieces recomposed.
.
For me, it was highly important to stay authentic. The pieces were not meant to sound like a 21st century copy of Chopin - rather, it was important for me to incorporate my own compositional style so as never to be an epigone.

Today my new album "A Child's World" was released - dedicated to my son, of course. But also to all other children in the world - I named many of the tracks after qualities I wish for children, e.g.: "Identity", "Generosity", "Sincerity" or "Simplicity". On the album are 12 beautiful pieces that invite you to rest and, as title 2 is named, "From Here to Eternity" may remain.
.
Here I am playing a short improvisation on "Generosity" - thank you @applemusic , for sharing the piece today on your famous PIANO CHILL playlist. Thank you @spotify for sharing "Slow Waltz" in FOCUS PIANO and MAKSIMUM KONSANTRASYON. And thank you @youtubemusic for nearly 100k streams on several playlists since the first single of "A Child's World" was released.
My thanks also go to my label @silentbeatrecords - thank you for our great partnership! You guys are awesome.

In 2019 I composed the album THE ARCHANGELS (PART ONE), This is a composition dedicated to #jophiel - I especially like the harmony change at 00:36 minutes! What are your thoughts while listening? I'd appreciate your comments!

A long time ago, in 2009, I composed "Like a Fairy Tale" - it was one of my first published tracks as a composer and still one of the most beautiful ones. On #spotify it's my most played track, on #applemusic the most downloaded one.
.
I still love playing the piece - here on my #östlindalmquist piano! This piano manufactury was founded in 1888 in Arvika/Sweden - by the nephew of my great-great-great-grandfather. And I live on the musician tradition - a great honor!

Today I contrast two different types of my neo-classical piano compositions - a virtuosic one and a calm one. I like composing and playing both types very much!

Biography

BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Goetz Oestlind (original spelling Dr. Götz Östlind) studied piano under Conrad Hansen‘s alumni Gisela Stumme and Prof. Lev Natochenny. He completed his studies of Applied Cultural Studies with a Master‘s degree (M.A.) and earned his Ph.D. with his dissertation on ‚Counterpoint in Film Music‘.

In 2006 he composed his first international TV commercials for NIVEA (‚The Secret in Baby‘s Skin‘ and ‚Plunging Neckline‘), in 2010 his first film score for the arte production ‚Angriff aus dem Nichts‘. He became the competition king in Europe's biggest TV show, ‚Wetten, dass..?‘, in 2006 with his absolute pitch and, as part of the piano duo ‚David & Götz‘, he has played more than 700 concerts so far.

In the past years, he has established himself worldwide as a well-known composer and won the prestigious ‚Hollywood Music in Media Award‘ in the category ‚Outstanding Instrumental Performance‘ in 2021.

The U.S. American ‚Richmond Ballet‘ performed the acclaimed world premiere ‚Jahreszeiten‘, which musically consisted of Oestlind‘s Piano Sonatas in 2021. Twelve other performances followed. The ‚Czech National Symphony Orchestra‘ recorded his ‚Fantasy for Piano & Orchestra in B Minor, Op. 8‘ with pianist Sergey Belyavsky in Prague.

His compositions have been streamed more than 130 million times on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and others.

For me and for the power of music, it is the greatest gift of all

when my compositions capture the listenerʼs heart.

(Dr. Goetz Oestlind)
