“Philipp Schiepek achieves great tension with comparatively few notes. It’s about
beauty of sound and sensuality of sound.” Matthias Wegner, Deutschlandfunk Kultur
No cell phone network, telephone cables across the countryside, a road through the
forest where two vehicles can hardly meet. The cup of black coffee sits on the table in
front of the yellow cottage, while your gaze wanders into the distance, where the sky
is reflected in the green of the meadows.
Tranquillity, reflection and the rapid movement of the clouds influenced the
Dinkelsbühl guitarist Philipp Schiepek for his program “Meadows and Mirrors”, which
will be released on GLM-Music on 22 November 2024. In a space-consuming
composition process, solo and trio pieces were created, which are interpreted on the
classical nylon-string guitar.
In collaboration with the two established artists Henning Sieverts and Bastian Jütte,
with whom Philipp Schiepek has a long friendship, an exciting program full of joyful
playing is created.
With “Meadows and Mirrors”, Philipp Schiepek succeeds in continuing to weave the
tapestry of ideas from the album “Versuch zu Träumen”, which was released in spring
on Wooden Waggon Records.
With his ensembles, guitarist Philipp Schiepek has performed at the Berlin Jazz
Festival, the Leipzig Jazz Days, the Bach Festival in Köthen, the Berlin Philharmonie,
the Prinzregententheater in Munich, Sunset Paris and the Europe Sound Festival in
Ankara, among others. Philipp Schiepek’s concerts are broadcast on Deutschlandfunk,
Bayerischer Rundfunk, RBB, WDR, HR and NDR. A 60-minute live concert, which was
recorded as part of the Jazzfest Berlin, was recently streamed on ARTE CONCERT.
