Piano Reveries Is Now Streaming on Spotify and Apple Music

It’s official: Piano Reveries is streaming. Michael Clinesmith’s 22-track solo piano album, the one that has lived on this site as previews and downloads, is now out on Spotify, Apple Music, and the other major streaming services. If you’ve been waiting to add it to a playlist, save it to your library, or just hit shuffle on the bus, today’s the day.

This post is the quick guide: where it is, the one link that gets you there, and what’s still waiting for you right here on the site.

The album is out on streaming, everywhere

For a long time, the honest answer to “can I stream it?” was “not yet.” Distribution takes time, and a one-person studio doesn’t get to skip the queue. That answer has changed. Piano Reveries has been released through DistroKid, and it’s now live on the big platforms.

That matters for a simple reason. Most people listen where they already listen. Not everybody wants to visit a website to hear an album, and nobody should have to. Now the record can sit in your library next to everything else you love, and it can come with you on your phone, in the car, or on a smart speaker in the kitchen.

It’s the same album you can preview on the music page: twenty-two original pieces, all anchored by piano, moving through eight genres. It opens with After the Storm, a classical piece, and from there it wanders through flamenco, jazz, funk and soul, chillwave, pop, and film-score territory before it’s done. Nothing was trimmed or reordered for streaming. You get the full arc, in the order it was written to be heard.

One smart link to every platform

Here’s the easy part. You don’t need to search each app and hope you’ve found the right “Piano Reveries” (there’s more than one album with a piano in the title out there). There’s a single smart link that points to the real one on every service:

Tap it and you’ll see a list of streaming services. Pick yours, and it opens the album straight in that app. It works on a phone, a tablet, or a laptop, and it’s the same link behind the green NOW STREAMING badge on the music page and the homepage.

If you’re sharing the album with a friend, this is the link to send. It works for everyone no matter which app they use, so you don’t have to know whether they’re a Spotify person or an Apple person.

Spotify, Apple Music, and more

Spotify and Apple Music are the two most people will reach for, and Piano Reveries is on both. The smart link also lists other services where the album is available, so if you listen somewhere else, check the list first.

A few small things help an independent album more than you’d think.

Save it and follow the artist. On any platform, saving the album and following Michael Clinesmith tells the service people actually want this music. That’s how independent records get recommended to new listeners.

Add a track to a playlist. Got a focus playlist, a wind-down playlist, or a Sunday-morning one? Drop a track in. Jade’s Lullaby and Lovely Night fit evening playlists. Race and Step and Dance bring energy to a workout or a cleaning spree. Working Through It is a good friend on a hard afternoon.

Listen all the way through once. The album was sequenced as a journey. The three-movement Sonatina in G sits near the front as the most formally built piece on the record, and The Joy in Life shows off its flamenco side early. It’s worth hearing how each piece hands off to the next at least once before you start picking favorites.

Still available to buy direct for $9.99

Streaming is great for listening. Buying is how you own the album, and it’s still the best way to support the person who made it.

The full album is $9.99 on the music page, and every track is $3 on its own if one song is the one you can’t shake. Buying direct means your money goes to the composer instead of being split into fractions of a cent per play. You get the files to keep, no subscription required.

You can still preview first, too. Every track on the music page has a free 30-second preview, so you can hear Play in the Grass, For Grandma, Dance in D, or Joyous before you spend a thing.

If you’d like to go further than a one-time purchase, there are a few other ways to back the studio:

• Patreon, from $3 a month, with exclusive tracks, sheet music, and behind-the-scenes material. It’s what keeps a one-person studio making the next album.
• Sheet music on Sheet Music Plus and Sheet Music Direct, if you’d rather play Michael’s music than just hear it.
• Rebellion, the studio’s indie RPG on Steam, plus its Soundtrack DLC. Same composer, different world.
• SoundBetter, if you need original music of your own for a game, film, or project. You can also reach out through the contact page.

Press play now

Getting an album onto streaming services is a real milestone for an independent composer. There was no label pushing this and no marketing budget, just one person who wrote twenty-two pieces of music and kept going until they were out in the world. Every stream, save, and share now helps more people find it.

So here’s the ask, and it’s a small one. Open the smart link, press play, and save the album. If a track stays with you, send it to someone who’d love it. And when new music comes out, you’ll want to hear about it: subscribe on YouTube and join the newsletter at the bottom of the music page.

Want to know who’s behind it all? Read more about Michael, or say hello to the studio’s friendly mascot, Airy the Dragon, while you’re there.

Thanks for listening. It means more than a play count can show.

If this resonated, you can listen to and buy Piano Reveries, learn more about the music, or get in touch about a custom score.
