How to Add Piano Reveries to Your Playlist

Want to add Piano Reveries to your playlist? Good news: it takes about a minute. Michael Clinesmith’s 22-track solo piano album is out on Spotify, Apple Music, and the other major streaming services, so it can live right next to everything else you already listen to.

This is the short, practical guide. Where to find the real album, how to save it, which tracks suit which moods, and how to build a calm piano playlist around it without it feeling random.

Find the album on your service of choice

The easiest way to find Piano Reveries is not to search for it at all. There are plenty of albums out there with “piano” in the name, and search results can get crowded fast.

Instead, use the album’s smart link:

Open Piano Reveries on your favorite platform →

Tap it and you’ll see a list of streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music. Pick the one you use and the album opens straight in that app. It works the same on a phone, a tablet, or a laptop.

It’s also the link behind the NOW STREAMING badge and the Spotify and Apple Music cards on the music page, so if you ever lose this post, that page will get you there.

If you’d rather hear a bit before you open an app, every track on the music page has a free 30-second preview. No account, no signup. Just press play.

Save it, follow the artist, add to a playlist

Once the album is open in your app, there are three small taps worth making. Each one does a slightly different job.

Save the album. On Spotify, that’s the save button near the top of the album page. On Apple Music, it’s the add button. Saving puts the whole record in your library so you can come back to it in one tap.

Follow Michael Clinesmith. Tap through to the artist page and follow. That way new releases show up for you instead of slipping past. For an independent composer with no label behind him, follows and saves are also a quiet signal to the platform that real people want this music, which is how it gets recommended to new listeners.

Add tracks to a playlist. Open the menu on any track and choose “Add to playlist.” You can add the whole album at once from the album’s own menu, or pick just the pieces that fit a particular mood. That second option is where it gets fun.

Which tracks fit focus, reading, and rest

Piano Reveries is not one long mood. It covers eight genres, all anchored by piano, so different tracks suit different parts of your day. Here’s a starting map. Trust your own ears over it.

For focus. Classical-leaning pieces tend to make good working music because they have shape without demanding your attention. The album opens with After the Storm, a classical piece, and the three-movement Sonatina in G is the most formally built thing on the record. Put all three movements together in order and you’ve got a tidy little block of concentration time. Minor Major 2, the album’s neo-classical track, fits here too.

For reading. Reading music wants to stay out of the way of the words. Try Lovely Night, the album’s jazz piece, or Bb Melody, which leans chillwave. Both are good company for a book on a slow evening.

For rest and winding down. Jade’s Lullaby is right there in the name. It’s a natural pick for the last few songs before sleep or for a quiet moment with a cup of tea.

For hard days. Working Through It and The Sun Will Rise Again are the album’s two thematic pieces, and their titles say a lot about where they’re pointed. Keep them handy for afternoons that need a little patience.

For mornings with some lift. If you want calm that still has a pulse, reach for Play in the Grass, Joyous, or The Joy in Life, the album’s flamenco piece. And when the coffee kicks in, Race, Step and Dance, and Dance in D bring real energy.

Building a calm-piano playlist around it

You don’t need to build a whole playlist from scratch. A few simple ideas go a long way.

Make one mood per playlist. A “focus” playlist and a “wind down” playlist will both get more use than one giant “piano” playlist. Pick five or six tracks from the map above, add them, and you’re done.

Mix it with music you already love. Piano Reveries sits comfortably beside other instrumental and solo piano music. Drop a few of its tracks in among your favorites and see which ones you keep reaching for.

Tie it to a routine. Morning pages, homework, a long drive, a bedtime story. Linking a short playlist to one daily habit is the fastest way for a piece of music to become part of your life.

Share it. If you build a playlist you like, send it to a friend. And if you just want to share the album itself, the smart link is the one to send. It works no matter which app the other person uses.

If you play piano yourself, there’s one more kind of playlist: a practice list. Sheet music for Michael’s work is on Sheet Music Plus and Sheet Music Direct, so you can learn to play the music you’ve been listening to.

Start with the full album

Playlists are great for daily life. But at least once, it’s worth listening to Piano Reveries from start to finish, in order. The album was sequenced as a journey, and hearing how each piece hands off to the next is a different experience from catching tracks on shuffle. It ends with Happy Anniversary, the record’s only piano-and-voice track, which makes a sweet place to land.

If you’d like to own it rather than stream it, the full album is $9.99 on the music page, or $3 per track. Buying direct means your money goes straight to the composer.

There are a few other ways to stay close to the music, too:

• Support the studio on Patreon. It’s what keeps a one-person studio making the next album.
• Subscribe on YouTube to catch new music as it goes up.
• Play the game. Rebellion, the studio’s indie RPG on Steam, has its own original score, available as Soundtrack DLC. Same composer, different world, and great playlist material of its own.
• Hire Michael. Need original music for a game, film, or project? He takes commissions on SoundBetter.

So here’s the whole thing in one line: open the smart link, save the album, follow the artist, and drop your favorite track into a playlist today. It’s a small thing that genuinely helps an independent composer, and you get some lovely piano music out of the deal.
