一聽音樂網

身為作曲家，編曲家，鋼琴家的Michael Hoppe生于英格蘭，現居洛杉機。他熟稔古典樂和流行樂。在他的作品中，古典與流行展現了完美的融合。其音樂被世人喻為“不可救藥的浪漫”：美輪美奐，輕柔安詳，透露著深刻的親密和渴望。他賦予自己的音樂一種當今少有的優雅。聽者往往能從中發現撫慰和鼓舞人心的力量。 Michael Hoppe 曾在世界最大的唱片公司之一“寶麗金”任高級行政人員之職，并因此為歐洲和北美的音樂界熟知。在寶麗金任職期間，他的主要工作是將Vangelis,Kitaro，Jean-Michel Jarre和ABBA這些富有不同天賦的人區分開來。1984年，為了尋求屬于自己的音樂，他離開了寶麗金。故事片《Misunderstood》以及獲得多項大獎的短片《Eyes of the Wind》均是由他擔任譜曲工作。其中《Eyes of the Wind》在紐約、休斯頓和舊金山的電影節獲得了最高榮譽，同時還登上了Oscar最佳短片提名榜單。 Michael Hoppé is a composer, record producer and recording artist from the United Kingdom who now lives in the United States. For many years, he was head of A&R for the PolyGram record label. He signed New Age acts such as Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre and Kitaro to the label as well as resigning ABBA and The Who. In 1984, he quit the business of music to take up composing (published by his company Chordially Yours Music) and working as a music consultant (InterConnection Resources) in Los Angeles. His discography contains over 20 albums in the 'new age' or 'classical' category. Hoppe says his music is best described as heart music and is often used for healing and meditation. His album, Solace, was nominated for a New Age Grammy in 2003. His music has been featured in film and television such as The Sopranos, The Oprah Winfrey Show, "Misunderstood" starring Gene Hackman, Michael Moore's "Sicko", and the multi award winning Short Film "Nous Deux Encore" featured on his Enhanced CD "Tapestry". Many of his albums feature the photography of his grandfather E.O. Hoppé (1878-1972). Hoppe's next release "Grace" (2013) will feature work by his daughter, the photographer Rebecca Hoppe.
