Pianist · Composer · London
Multi-award-winning composer, now debuting his own work as a solo pianist.
After decades scoring for film, television and the world's biggest brands, Joe releases his first album of original work - for solo piano.
The Album
Quietude is a collection of meditative, semi-improvisatory piano pieces, written in the wake of Joe's recovery from illness. Performed on solo piano, the music moves between classical, jazz and Jewish influences - softly spoken, slow, simple and deeply personal.
Released by BMG on the Hum Tracks label · 8 September 2026.
“This is an album that came from my fingers, not from a cerebral plan. I wanted it to reflect the history of my long career of composing at the piano, revealing where my fingers might want to go when left at last to their own devices, enjoying how they casually switched between Jazz, Blues, Classical and Jewish influences. I adored the sound of this particular piano when played quietly, and so found myself in a very reflective place, musing on love found, and mirroring a surprising peace after having survived a serious illness.” - Joe Glasman

Press
“Joe has created music that is powerful, emotional and truly evocative of the cinema … a composer with a huge palette of sound.”
“That freshness is there in the music. It hasn't been constructed by committee, it's been conjured up single-handedly by a damn fine composer.”
“From gentle love to cascading chaos and carnage, this compelling soundtrack builds in its relentlessness and intensity with an almost hypnotic rhythm which, once heard, is impossible to forget.”
