My latest piano and neo-classical composition driven by soft cinematic style sounds and elements. The progression follows a natural building of energy complemented by moving strings and background textures. Gravity is out now.

🎹 About Julian Steenbergen:
Dutch artist Julian Steenbergen, known for his work as MaMan, launches his solo piano project as a return to his classical roots. After years in electronic music and millions of streams, he now channels inspiration from nature, climate, and global cultures into intimate, reflective piano compositions. This new project continues his purpose-driven vision—music that’s grounded, emotional, and deeply connected to the rhythms of life.

Gravity

Lullaby for Ona

Passage

Cause and Effect (Acoustic)

The title, "Fluire," which translates from Italian to "flow" or "stream," 
"In the hustle and bustle of the modern world, we so often lack moments of silence. I wrote 'Fluire' to create such a space—a place where you can simply be, breathe, and feel your worries drift away.

Ricordi

Fluire

Mare Island is an avant-garde ritual of memory, corrosion, and endless watch.
Recorded with the Strandberg NX-8, 12-string acoustic, electric bass, Moog Mother-32, glockenspiel, voice, and world percussion, it channels the desolation of decommissioned shipyards and the eternal labor of dry-dock silence.

Built on fractured rhythms and improvised vocal invocations, the piece explores collapse as form and presence as vibration — a reflection of both Mediterranean futurism and submarine exile.

Recorded at the Fish Ghetto Recording Research Laboratory, Orlando, Florida.
Part of the HY-80 continuum: pressure, decay, and sacred dissonance

Dutch artist Julian Steenbergen, known for his talents as a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer, presents his piano project as a counterpart to his main electronic endeavor, MaMan. After years of working in electronic music, he returns to his roots—shaped by a classical upbringing and early piano studies, followed by years of playing in bands across different genres. With MaMan, Julian has released music on respected international labels and reached millions of streams worldwide, using his platform to raise awareness around environmental issues and climate change. This purpose-driven vision continues in his piano work, where he channels inspiration from nature, climate, and global cultures. The result is a collection of compositions that feel grounded, reflective, and emotionally resonant—capturing the organic rhythms of life and the changing world around us.

Entertainer and Keeper of the Peace. I do like to dabble, but to simplify it; my music is generally low fidelity and usually is some form of Instrumental music.

Vibrational Monism

 All phenomena arise from a single, continuous vibration… structured through binary events (on/off, presence/absence) across time…This vibration is perceived contextually as music, matter, or memory, depending on its frequency, duration, and relational pattern….

Everything exists as modulation within one underlying pulse….

Joseph Shippee composes across avant-garde classical and aleatoric metal. His doctrine is rule-bound chance over a fixed pressure grid: one chain kept bone-dry; silence treated as structure. Using 8-string guitar, frame/hand percussion, and analog synthesis, he builds works that move between density and void, structure and decay. All pieces are developed at the Fish Ghetto Recording Research Laboratory—his hybrid ceremonial studio—within a Modern Mediterranean Post-Industrial Futurist aesthetic: stone, rust, and sea light rendered as tone. Rooted in Vibrational Monism (B♯), the music treats sound as a single continuum shaped by events of presence and absence—ritual mechanics and controlled collapse defining the form.

Since childhood, I have studied the cello and classical music. 
As a teenager, I transitioned to guitar, exploring pop, rock, and jazz. 
I pursued audio engineering as a career and have worked professionally in the field for years. 

In 2007, I started working at a recording studio where I honed my skills, recorded a variety of projects, met many musicians and professionals, made lasting friendships, and produced a wide range of music tracks, mostly for commercials.

In 2023, I turned my life upside down and moved to Iceland. There, I stepped out of my comfort zone, discovered silence, and immersed myself in the natural beauty of the land. It was in Reykjavík that I began a new professional chapter as a cook, while rediscovering music as a personal journey inspired by nature.

For health reasons, I returned to my hometown, where I’ve decided to start sharing some of my own music creations. While cooking occupies much of my time and thought, music continues to be a quiet companion in my life, and I look forward to sharing new pieces when the time feels right.
