Piano Magic is musical collective formed in the summer of 1996 by Glen Johnson, Dominic Chennell, and Dick Rance in London, England. Their sound has been described as ambient pop, post-rock, indietronica, as well as other things. While the most recent releases have seen them operating with a traditional band format, they originally started their career with a "revolving door"-policy, where band members contributed more loosely (similar to This Mortal Coil). Glen Johnson has been the only consistent member of the band. The current band members are Glen Johnson, Jerome Tcherneyan, Alasdair Steer, Franck Alba and Cedric Pin.
Glen Johnson also has a solo project called Textile Ranch.
