Stubborn times as earliest memories for little Philipp. It is not surprising that he has found the passion for fairy tales, baddies, princesses and monsters here. Central to the fantasy world of Philipp are the<br \/>\nfairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen. The writer known from fairy tales like &#8216;The ugly duckling&#8217;, &#8216;The Chinese nightingale&#8217;, &#8216;The snow queen&#8217; and &#8216;The flying suitcase&#8217;. The recurring elements in Andersen&#8217;s stories are the spiritual quests<br \/>\nof us being human, the threatening evil, the desire for social growth and the acceptance of destiny.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span id=\"text-34\" class=\"\" title=\"Shift-click to edit this element.\" data-customize-partial-id=\"widget[text-34]\" data-customize-partial-type=\"widget\" data-customize-partial-placement-context=\"{&quot;sidebar_id&quot;:&quot;sidebar-ourfocus&quot;,&quot;sidebar_instance_number&quot;:1}\" data-customize-widget-id=\"text-34\">\u201c&#8230;a dreamy, almost cinematic mix of jazz and folk, with a touch of chamber music. The compositions are quite complex, well thought-out and remarkably rhythmically which convey the atmosphere of the various fairy tales.\u201d<br \/>\nDraai om je oren &#8211; Ben Taffijn<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-block-embed-youtube is-type-video is-provider-youtube epyt-figure\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe  id=\"_ytid_40857\"  width=\"750\" height=\"422\"  data-origwidth=\"750\" data-origheight=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3BfRCZzmEZg?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=0&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With the fairytale as blueprint, Philipp wrote the music for the North Sea Jazz Festival composition assignment.<br \/>\nThe multi-instrumentalist Heidi Heidelberg from England is responsible for the vocals. A highly headstrong singer with an enchanting effect. Philipp&#8217;s search for cross-border musicians found his way to master violinist Oene van Geel, as<br \/>\nwell as cellist Soal Pau Masafrets and drummer Yonga Sun. A special line up that can combine both an acoustic and electronic sound world. The flexibility and spontaneity of the musicians is preconceived. A project with a critical view of our current society from the perspective of a fairy tale.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1191\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1191\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1191 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.philippruettgers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/philipp-ruttgers-in-LV-foto-Eric-van-Nieuwland-6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philippruettgers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/philipp-ruttgers-in-LV-foto-Eric-van-Nieuwland-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/philippruettgers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/philipp-ruttgers-in-LV-foto-Eric-van-Nieuwland-6-scaled-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/philippruettgers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/philipp-ruttgers-in-LV-foto-Eric-van-Nieuwland-6-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/philippruettgers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/philipp-ruttgers-in-LV-foto-Eric-van-Nieuwland-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/philippruettgers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/philipp-ruttgers-in-LV-foto-Eric-van-Nieuwland-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/philippruettgers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/philipp-ruttgers-in-LV-foto-Eric-van-Nieuwland-6-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/philippruettgers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/philipp-ruttgers-in-LV-foto-Eric-van-Nieuwland-6-532x355.jpg 532w, https:\/\/philippruettgers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/philipp-ruttgers-in-LV-foto-Eric-van-Nieuwland-6-1110x740.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/philippruettgers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/philipp-ruttgers-in-LV-foto-Eric-van-Nieuwland-6-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1191\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">@ Eric van Nieuwland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span id=\"text-34\" class=\"\" title=\"Shift-click to edit this element.\" data-customize-partial-id=\"widget[text-34]\" data-customize-partial-type=\"widget\" data-customize-partial-placement-context=\"{&quot;sidebar_id&quot;:&quot;sidebar-ourfocus&quot;,&quot;sidebar_instance_number&quot;:1}\" data-customize-widget-id=\"text-34\">North Sea Jazz Composition Assignment 2018<br \/>\nThe jury, consisting of Gijsbert Kamer (music journalist de Volkskrant), Cyriel Pluimakers (jazz programmer and a delegate for the VIP), and Kim Bloem (programmer North Sea Jazz), was unanimous in selecting R\u00fcttgers for the Composition Assignment for this year.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are impressed by the large wealth of ideas and composing style of R\u00fcttgers, which is colorful, dynamically varied and also has an interesting rhythm.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twists of H.C.
