Superb new album from Die Wilde Jagd

This will be strictly limited to 100 copies for the UK and undoubtedly, these will sell out on pre-order.

We would like to make sure that UK independents get first shout so this presale info is going to independent stores only for the first fortnight. Only at that point will any remaining stock be offered to the broader market.

An increasing number of vinyl releases fall into this category (i.e. great releases, new/developing artists, and very limited amounts of vinyl).

We are looking for your preorders as early as possible but your feedback on how this is best handled from an independent shop point of view would also be very welcome.

An audacious single piece 45-minute trip

After three studio albums, several EPs and numerous international tours and concerts, Die Wilde Jagd now releases the recording of ATEM - a composition commissioned by Roadburn Festival, premiered in April 2021 in Tilburg, Netherlands. ATEM comes as a strictly limited 12" vinyl LP in an edition of only 500 copies (only 100 for UK).

Die Wilde Jagd is the music project of producer and songwriter Sebastian Lee Philipp.

Channelling minimalist, tenebrous intensity, Die Wilde Jagd's music weaves a dense and atmospheric web of drama, romance, ecstasy and melancholy

Written for wooden organ pipes, cello, percussion and electronics.
A composition commissioned by Roadburn Festival.
Performed by Sebastian Lee Philipp, Lih Qun Wong and Ran Levari.

Berlin based artist Sebastian Lee Philipp releases with his project Die Wilde Jagd a new work: "ATEM", a Live recording of his composition commissioned by the 2021 edition of Roadburn Festival, performed in Tilburg in the Netherlands on April 16th 2021.

An audacious 45-minute trip into the depths of evolution, organism and metabolism, this piece is an exploration of the mechanism and science of breathing and its essential role in life.

Philipp himself plays synthesizers and an instrument developed specifically for the performance: a wooden organ pipe construction operated with an air compressor.

The composer is joined on stage by collaborators Lih Qun Wong on cello and voice, as well as Ran Levari (who has played drums in Die Wilde Jagd since 2017) on percussion.

Speaking of his composition, Philipp says:
"As human evolution enters new realms of reality, I find myself drawn to explore the basic essences of life: the things we are made of, that we take for granted and are, yet, still full of mystery. The parallels between breath and music are undeniable: pace, rhythm, volume and dynamic fluctuations influence us deeply. Breath is the elixir of life and the fuel for one of the most primitive vibrations: the human voice."

The themes of creation and spirit within the composition are skillfully enhanced by

Turkish Visual Artist Mürsel Güven.
