about

On the 29th of January 2021 the solo-piece ‘Waiting Music’ is released by Danish pianist, synth player and composer Anders Filipsen on the record-label ILK-Music. A tribute to the process of deepening that on this piece is created through eclectic synthesizer-soundscapes.

The focus point for ‘Waiting Music’ is anticipation. To sense the deeper intense experience of something by stepping back and let things take their course. This has been a decisive element in the creation of waiting music and also in the final manifestation.

Anders Filipsen wishes to create a focus on the importance of actions, that has no other purpose than being present. A being that inevitably slows things down and increases our appreciation of the small things.

The music is created with four synths in live-takes without further editing, and is often circular, melodic and ambient. Inspirations from people such as Brian Eno, Terry Riley and Roedelius can be heard as well as the new-wave scene from Japan in the 1980’s has inspired. As a forerunner for the release Anders Filipsen has in the past year released short films for each track, that presents 12 locations, where he has experienced this depth of spirit.

The music is released on LP on the record-label ILK-Music, which is an internationally renowned label for experimental music placed in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Anders Filipsen is a.o. known from his records with his 10-piece ensemble The Black Nothing, where his work with sound has been described as:
“A powerful piece by The Black Nothing, that under the leadership of pianist and composer Anders Filipsen moves through jazz and a wide tonal-scape surrounding this genre.It is action-packed music with static as well as as pulsating transitions not to mention deeply original combinations of instruments, voices and electronics... in both tight
composition and free improv - and everything in between.” 
 (National Danish newspaper, Berlingske Tidende)...“Filipsen doesn't divide, but gathers all the impulses and succeeds in creating a clear and coherent piece...Marvelous and original.” (Jazz-special Norge).

Anders Filipsen is characterized by a genre-transcending sound, that at times can be heard as sound-art, and which is best described as unpredictable:
“Anders Filipsen is probably better described as a sound-artist rather than as a musician...
Great musicians tend to follow one idea for long periods, examining its every implication, and there is a strong sense, reinforced here, that Filipsen has been pursuing a single sound through space and time, right from his emergence 
 as a leading improviser on the Danish scene.” 
 (Brian Morton, Jazz-journal).
