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 the intention to base their recordings around a small nucleus and whoever else would like to contribute (similar to This Mortal Coil). Glen Johnson has been the only consistent member of the band.

Glen Johnson also has a solo project called Textile Ranch.
