Biography

In his early years as a self-taught multi-instrumentalist and collector of remote music Wolter experimented with different styles in his home studio: from punk to blues and American primitive guitar, musique concrete and noise to post punk and free jazz. During his musicological studies at the TU Berlin, he dealt intensively with Indian raga music and was enchanted. In order to learn all the complex intricacies of that music in a traditional way, he began learning sitar and surbahar music under sitar master Subroto Roy Chowdhury and lived for more than five years together with his teacher in his home in Calcutta. After the death of his teacher in 2017, he continued his studies under the guidance of the famous sarod master Irfan Khan –the current head of the ancient Lucknow-Shahjahanpur-Gharana of instrumental music. Wolters' main interests are the great raga music masters of the 19th and early to mid-20th centuries and traditional formats of instrumental raga interpretation. In the extensive and historically informed repertoire of the Lucknow Shahjahanpur Gharana he finds relevant material to constantly expand his knowledge and skills. Wolter has made guest appearances internationally on numerous well-known stages. So far he has produced four albums of classical raga music and four critically acclaimed albums with his jazz outlet the Pulsar Trio. In addition, Wolter worked in numerous musical projects as a guest musician and composed film music. Most recently he was a co-founder of the Berlin Raga Tribe(BRT), an initiative to promote authentic performances of traditional raga music in and around Berlin. His latest archive project "Lucknow-Shahjahanpur-Gharana-Archive" restores historical sound recordings of old masters of Indian raga music and makes them accessible to a new audience.

Lessons

I am available for personal lessons in classical sitar and surbahar playing in Jena (Germany) and Berlin. Furthermore I am offering one-on-one online classes via Skype. Please contact me for further information. Sitar beginners will be guided step-by-step, with personalised sets of excercises according to their need. Intermediate and advanced student can draw from a huge collection of traditional instrumental gats and gat todas as taught by my Gurus Ustad Irfan Khan and Pandit Subroto Roy Chowdhury. In Surbahar I am teaching alap-jor-jhala in the old two-mizrab-three-finger-beenkar-right-hand-technique and instrumental dhrupad compositions in dhamar, chowtal, sooltal and jhaptal-sadra.
