Peter Phippen, a Projekt Records Recording Artist, is a 53rd Grammy Awards nominee, an International Acoustic Music Awards nominee, and a 2021 Native American-Style Flute Awards Lifetime Achievement Awards winner. He is widely respected for his ability to master a variety of antique and contemporary traditional flutes. Peter's use of these instruments in contemporary music settings helps bridge the gap between ancient and modern sounds, making his music both timeless and innovative. Phippen's work often explores the intersection of spirituality, nature, and human emotion, creating a sound world that is both introspective and deeply meditative. His background in traditional and contemporary global and world music, combined with a profound understanding of the cultural significance of these instruments, allows him to respect their traditional roots while pushing the boundaries of their expressive potential. Peter Phippen's albums often feature solo flute compositions, but he also collaborates with various musicians from around the world. This blending of cultures and musical traditions, along with his sensitive playing, creates a unique sound that speaks to listeners on a deep, emotional level.

The sounds of his [Phippen's] solo flute improvisations are at once mysterious, graceful, refined, and captivating, the sound surrounding the listener like a warm blanket on a cold starlit night from the top of a precipice, the waves of shimmering sonic beauty wafting across the sky. - Peter Thelen, Exposé Online
