Founded by producer, songwriter, and composer Sebastian Lee Philipp, Die Wilde Jagd has established itself as one of the most distinctive contemporary projects emerging from Germany’s experimental and psychedelic music landscape.
Since the release of the acclaimed self-titled debut on Hamburg label Bureau B in 2015, the project has continuously evolved an artistic language situated between avant-pop, ritualistic songwriting, experimental electronics, and contemporary composition.
Drawing on instrumentation and sonic traditions from different historical periods and cultural contexts, Die Wilde Jagd creates immersive sound worlds filled with drama, romance, ecstasy, and melancholy. Following the breakthrough success of Uhrwald Orange (2018), praised internationally for its psychedelic mysticism and singular German lyricism, the project toured extensively across more than 20 countries and performed at festivals and institutions including Sónar, Nuits Sonores, Fusion Festival, Donaufestival, HAU Hebbel am Ufer, and Kampnagel.
Subsequent works such as Haut (2020) and ophio (2023) further expanded the project’s compositional and conceptual scope, exploring themes of mythology, embodiment, and transformation through extended forms and richly textured sonic environments.
Alongside the core project, Sebastian Lee Philipp has developed numerous interdisciplinary collaborations, including orchestral and ensemble works such as Lux Tenera – A Rite to Joy with the Grammy Award-winning Metropole Orkest, commissioned performances for Roadburn Festival, and collaborations with ensembles including the Jena Philharmonic Quartet.
