Peter Heppner (2007)

Peter Heppner (born September 7, 1967 in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg ) is a German musician , songwriter and music producer who u. a. through its involvement in the synth-pop - Duo Wolfsheim was known. Heppner's most commercially successful release is the platinum single Die Flut with over 900,000 units sold.

Life

Heppner grew up in the Hamburg district of Wilhelmsburg . In his childhood and youth he sang in the church and school choir. His friends included Pompejo Ricciardi, who later became Wolfsheim's founding member. He attended the same high school as his future Wolfsheim partner Markus Reinhardt . However, they only got to know each other better in the joint art course. Heppner originally aspired to a career as a visual artist ( sculptor / painter ) or writer and not as a professional musician. The music was actually just a hobby, but then they (Wolfsheim) would have got a record deal. He is the father of a daughter (* 2002/2003).

In the summer of 2016, Heppner announced on his Facebook page that he had been suffering from the heart disease hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM) since he was 16 . This disease was diagnosed only two and a half years earlier, after Heppner was hospitalized with an inflammation of the heart muscle , previously it was wrongly assumed to be suffering from asthma . In the spring of 2016, he underwent an operation to remove the HOCM, which went without complications . As the reason for the decision to go public with his illness only after about 30 years, Heppner stated that he did not gain attention through a "pity bonus" and as a kind of "ailing musician", but through his art, music and Texts wanted to be known.

Musical career

With Wolfsheim

Wolfsheim (Reinhardt and Heppner) (1992)

→ Main article : Wolfsheim

Heppner's career at Wolfsheim began in 1987 as an initial replacement and later recognized successor for the singer Pompejo Ricciardi, who had left the company. After Oliver Reinhardt left the band in the same year, the duo Peter Heppner and Markus Reinhardt formed. The two quickly played themselves in such a way that Reinhardt is responsible for the music and Heppner for the lyrics. Wolfsheim's first real success was with the maxi single The Sparrows and the Nightingales , which appeared in 1991 and developed into a Europe-wide club hit. After several albums and tours, Wolfsheim reached number two in the charts in 1998 with their fourth studio album, Spectators . This success could be topped with the following album Casting Shadows 2003, which placed at number one in the German album charts . At the beginning of 2007 Reinhardt tried to exclude his long-time band colleague Heppner from the joint band project Wolfsheim and sued the Hamburg district court for this purpose . However, the action was dismissed, as was the appeal before the competent higher regional court . Heppner repeatedly emphasized in interviews that he would continue to be very interested in continuing Wolfsheim. Since then there has been no further activity from Wolfsheim.

In May 1998 Die Flut entered the German single charts for the first time. In the course of the next few weeks the single climbed to position two in the charts and also made it onto the charts in Austria and Switzerland. The single had to admit defeat to single Loonas Bailando in Germany . The flood ranked eighth in the 1998 single year charts in Germany and received a platinum record for over 500,000 units sold.

They would also plan something about it, and if everything went as they would like, there would be something else in relation to The Flood this year.

Witt made this statement without consulting Heppner, who uploaded a picture on his Facebook page with the newspaper clipping and the comment "Today in the Bild-Zeitung ...".

He also added the following sentence: “... and what do we learn from it? You can never make arrangements early enough, even if you don't expect anything to happen! ”A little later, however, he also admitted that it was okay and it was also his fault that they had actually simply failed to coordinate.

music

Musical style

The writer Dirk Horst described Heppner's musical style during his time in Wolfsheim as follows:

"Furthermore, one recognizes the typical Wolfsheim peculiarity in the songs, that when you listen to the music you first feel sadness, melancholy or similar feelings, but when you read the lyrics or think about the different refrains you find your optimism."

- Dirk Horst

Heppner himself described his pieces with the following words: "It should be music that you take your time for and that you don't run to iron on the side." During his career, Heppner mostly worked in the genres of synth-pop , dark wave and pop music . Heppner found his inspiration in the early years in the wave scene from Great Britain and the associated bands such as Bauhaus , The Cure , Echo & the Bunnymen or the Smiths .

song writer

Heppner's texts are usually written in such a way that the piece itself and the mood it conveys dictates the content. The piece therefore puts him in certain moods, which in turn open up certain points of contact (memories, feelings and the like). Heppner described that the songs develop very slowly, he gets used to them over time and only when he still likes them after two or three months do they become real Heppner songs.

Peter Heppner co-wrote almost all of the songs he was involved in, be it as a member of Wolfsheim , as a guest singer or as a solo artist. During the time of Wolfsheim he also produced many of his songs himself. Many of his works have also been covered by foreign musicians, including an Italian version of Once in a Lifetime . To date, 15 author participations and six productions by Heppner have reached the German single charts (as of May 2012).

Twelve and Deserve to Be Alone are special compositions . Twelve is the first piece by Heppner that he wrote without assistance. Deserve to Be Alone was to be the first work that was intended for another artist. The piece was written for the American singer Kim Sanders . She also sang it, but the song was eventually released as a duet by Sanders and Heppner.

Other artistic activities

painter

Heppner took an art course at school. He was actually aiming for a career as a painter or writer and not as a professional musician.

In the recording studio production of the musical theater piece Die Kinder der toten Stadt , which was released on June 23, 2018 as a music radio play and album, Heppner took on the speaking role of the “composer”. The Children of the Dead City tells allegorically about the children captured from the Theresienstadt ghetto , their lives there and their murder in the Nazi death camps. The role played by Heppner is based on the last days of the composer Hans Krása , who was brought to Theresienstadt in 1942 and received the order to rehearse his children's opera “ Brundibár ” with the imprisoned children and to play on the stage.
