Teitreph is the artist’s name of Henning Pertiet – internationally known Blues, Boogie Woogie & Jazz pianist – for his explorations in improvised and electronic music.

Teitreph uses a wide range of musical and technical possibilities as he owns all the technical environment one needs to produce this kind of music – for example one of the greatest HipHop machines of all times - the Akai MPC, a Moog Synth, a real Celeste, guitars, piano and many others.
On the other hand he has the ability to make groovy kinds of music out of literally everything – just give him an old piano or keyboard and he surely beats out some notes you’ll be glad to hear… (listen to his CDs of Blues & Boogie)
He’ll also play on any bassguitar (or even double bass) or just two pieces of old wood could be enough for making a tone or a rhythm that would easily be used in a new tune.

Teitreph also listened to Pete Rock and especially J Dilla (aka Jay Dee) the great HipHop Producers and has absorbed their skills in remixing almost anything that has a tone – especially old Jazz and Soulrecords.

In his main business Teitreph is a professional pianist in the genre of Blues & Boogie Woogie and he has earned a good reputation all over Europe – as a soloist or a member of Austria’s Mojo Blues Band.
He also had a hit back in 1998 when he and the band recorded a tune together with US saxophone player and singer Red Holloway:
'Take A Train, Train' entered the charts in South Carolina and was played all over the country for months.

In 2011 Henning Pertiet is nominiated for the
GERMAN BLUES AWARD!
