Construction Song

A Day On The Water

This is a live version of 'Amazing Grace' from my recent gig at the NNFest. It's recorded using an 18th Century cello and a loop pedal. Hope you like this.

These are my favourite verses from the hymn.

Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
That sav’d a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call’d me here below,
Will be forever mine.

Amazing Grace - Philip Sheppard

Acclaimed innovation conference C2 once declared, “Fitting Philip Sheppard’s accomplishments into 100 words is a bit like trying to squeeze his cello into a violin case.”

Philip’s collaborations reflect the diversity in his musical interests and personal passions.  Recently, his work in a Star Wars The Force Awakens trailer made his bucket list a little lighter and his latest project brought him to the base of the Eiffel Tower where he opened the Paris Global Climate Summit with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Amazonian Chief Raoni looking on.

Philip teamed up with Cirque du Soleil to shine the spotlight on global water needs, composed the original soundtrack to the epic BBC series Human Universe, scored the catwalk for Alexander McQueen and wrote the strings for the #1 album Like Clockwork by Queens of the Stone Age.  And David Bowie has said he can rock an electric cello like none other.  

Over the years, he’s also worked with Jarvis Cocker, Jeff Buckley, Scott Walker, The Weeknd, Suzanne Vega, UNKLE, Pretty Lights and virtuoso percussionist Evelyn Glennie.

Large-scale – and complex – productions are another of Philip’s fortes.  For the 2012 London Olympics, he was given 52 hours to re-score and record all 206 of the world’s national anthems with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.  

His portfolio also includes the Tour de France, the Rugby World Cup and the 2008 Beijing Olympics
Philip was honored with BBC’s Music Production of the Year for The Manchester Passion and was recently named as one of Origin Magazine’s “Top 100 Creatives in the U.S.”  
He is the recipient of a FRAM Fellowship, a lifetime achievement award from the Royal Academy of Music for his services to music and education.

Apotheosis - 'Rush to me'

https://philipsheppard.com/2017/09/12/the-final-year-at-toronto-international-film-festival/
I've collaborated with director Greg Barker and Oscar winning producer John Battsek once again on the soundtrack for a new movie.
The Final Year takes an unprecedented look at the shaping of US foreign policy.
Greg Barker followed key members of outgoing US President Barack Obama’s administration up to the tumultuous election. The result is a timely, riveting film.
Our premiere is at the Toronto International Film Festival. The movie's score was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and features the English Session Orchestra led by Clio Gould.
