Philipp is a classical music producer and recording engineer based in Berlin, Germany, working with distinguished artists for different labels (Deutsche Grammophon, Sony Music, Decca etc.) and broadcasting companies like the BBC in London, Rundfunk Berlin Brandenburg (RBB) or Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) in Munich. He studied classical piano and flute and works as Tonmeister and sound engineer in the fields of classical and acoustical music production.
PHILOSOPHY OF SOUND
His philosophy is to unleash the individual artistic potential of every artist in the highest professional level to create artistical outstanding and ear-catching recordings both for the musically and technically . Therefore Philipp takes care the musical interpretation of the artists is being preserved best possible by being a creative intermediate between the music and complex recording technique with greatest in-depth knowledge in both fields.
‘The choice of the microphones for a Tonmeister is similar to the choice of a painter which colours to mix to achieve an artwork of impressing perception. The difference of the Tonmeister's job is to
MIX TONE COLORS
which are perceived by the ear. Eventually every recording is a unique artwork of the performing musicians in collaboration with the Tonmeister.’
