"Peter Phippen astonishes us again with flutes that are played with a style that extends beyond imagination".
Ethnotempos, France
"Shadows of Dawn " - Peter Phippen (Canyon Records).
Soothing calm is the reaction to the flute playing of Peter Phippen. This CD could
be just the ticket to bring a hard's day's labor gracefully to a close, or to meditate.
The flute is masterfully blended with subtlety, emotions and overtone. The sound
of percussion adds a heartbeat, calling the mind to ease. This CD is worth having.
Jan-Mikael Patterson, Navajo Times
"Water flowing, the breeze at dawn, dew covered leaves, these are the healing images and textures
that emerge from this journey of sound poetry from the loving heart of Mr. Phippen
who on Night Song, takes the listener deep into the mystery of Being. With 20 years
of helping others on their life journeys and exploring the relationship between sound
and healing I have come across very few musical experiences that have touched me like
this one. Like a still mountain lake these sonic meditations take the listener on a
journey into the inexpressible, where the dance between silence and sound is masterfully
woven. This inspired work will be an asset to massage therapists, yoga instructors
and meditation teachers alike as well as to the discerning listener that is interested
in exploring the deeper origins of all music and life - the human heart. Thank you
Mr. Phippen for following your muse into the farther reaches of time and
space where words fall away and all the remains is the breath of life."
Michael DeMaria, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, Gulf Breeze, Florida
"Traditionally, the Native American flute has
a sound that could be characterized as haunting. Few flutists, however,
bring as much warmth and richness to a single tone as Peter Phippen
does. His playing is earthy, improvised and impressionistic, offering
listeners a beautifully serene atmosphere for meditation and reflection."
Music Design. 'Night Song' CD review
"Words like 'ethereal' and 'superb' work well
on his list of critical superlatives."
David P. DeMar, Jr., Watertown Daily Times,
Watertown, New York
"Phippen has his own style--a style worth noticing."
Arizona Daily Sun
"Phippen's flute expresses reverence, sorrow,
joy and love with soft haunting clarity."
Victory Acoustic Magazine
"A rare find for lovers of flute music."

talent with early Native American Aerophones. I hope others will
enjoy his music as much as I."
