SMALLTAPE










I listened to Philipp Nespital for the first time in 2017 with his album THE OCEAN and this multi-instrumentalist had caught my attention and I decided to follow his subsequent albums which would certainly give me some excellent music.... after many years Philipp Nespital comes out with this new album and proves once again that he can write music of various genres while always maintaining an excellent quality.
