Every so often, a musician emerges who is quite unlike any that have come before;
一个音乐家的诞生往往有自己鲜明的特色和风格，不蹈前人的覆辙。

a musician that reflects not an imitation of styles and tones, but who embodies the entire spectrum of styles in such a unique way that "categorizing" is impossible.
这类音乐家并不只是简单模仿旋律和风格，而是融合了所有不同类型的风格，开创自己独特的演绎手法，因此人们难以对其音乐类型进行所谓的“归类”。

Guitarist Govi (go' vee) is one of those artists.
吉它演奏家高菲就属于这类艺术家。

A native of Germany, Govi spent eight years living in India.
他是土生土长的德国人，但在印度生活了八年之久。

"My approach comes from the meditative and creative environment I experienced while living in India as well as playing with musicians from many different cultures and backgrounds," he says.
“我的灵感往往来自冥想和激发创造力的环境，我在印度的日子里，有机会和来自不同国家不同文化背景的音乐人一起生活，切磋技艺”他说。

It was there that Govi started playing the mandolin, mandola cello, sitar, bouzouki, charango and the 8-string ukulele.
在那段日子里，Govi开始玩各种乐器，如小曼陀琳，大曼陀琳，SITA（一种印度弦乐器），布祖基琴，charango和夏威夷八弦琴。

While in India, he also established a friendship with prominent German new age artist, Deuter.
在印度，他也和德国著名的新世纪音乐大师Deuter结下了友谊。

Their mutual admiration and respect led to Deuter co-producing Govi's debut album Sky High throughout which Deuter can be heard playing flutes and keyboards.
他们对彼此的才华互相仰慕和尊敬，并共同制作了Govi的第一张专辑《高空》，Deuter在专辑中担任长笛吹奏和键盘手。

Govi became fascinated with the guitar very early in life when he simply walked past one in a store window and decided that was the instrument he wanted to play.
高菲很早就对吉它着了迷。小时侯他从商店橱窗经过时，无意中看到吉它，他意识到这就是他梦寐以求的乐器。

In his teens, Govi performed as the lead guitarist in bands that played everything from rock to blues, including early Beatles and Pink Floyd.
十几岁的时候，高菲担任过许多乐队的主音吉它手，演绎过的音乐风格多样，从摇滚到布鲁斯蓝调，也包括Beatles和PINK Floyd等人的早期作品。

These experiences led to his first professional gig as a member of a group that played original material and won a national band competition and a recording contract which allowed them to tour throughout Germany.
这些宝贵的经验奠定了他从事第一份音乐职业的基础，他加入了一个乐器原声演奏的试验性创作乐团，曾在国家级乐队比赛中获奖，并为他们赢得了到德国举办巡回演出的机会。

Your Lingering Touch, 7th release from Real Music, represents the spectrum of Govi at his most romantic, while the 6th No Strings Attached is a celebration of Govi at his exuberant best -- on Billboard’s New Age Chart for over a year.
《缠绵》是他在REAL MUSIC公司发行的第七张专辑，代表了高菲顶级浪漫之作。第六张专辑《牵引》更是表现高菲非凡才华的绝唱，高居新世纪音乐排行榜长达一年多之久。

Guitar Odyssey was his fifth release for Real Music, another chart favorite, following the highly successful Passion & Grace, Heart of a Gypsy, Sky High and Cuchama.
《吉它远征》是他在REAL MUSIC发行的第五张专辑 --- 和之前的专辑《雅燃》、《吉普塞心声》、《高空》以及《CUCHAMA》一样，深受排行榜的推崇。

Govi describes his compositions as "the natural and inevitable result of moving deeply into the wellsprings of my creativity.
Govi认为他的音乐创作完全是发自内心的，是灵感源泉迸发后的自然产物。

My music is a reflection of my vision of life rather than mere notes on a sheet," he adds.
“我的音乐是我对生命的感悟，它不仅仅是纸张上单纯的音符而已”他补充道。

The result is a deeply mystical quality that is both jubilant and pensive, music that ultimately reflects the dimensions of the human spirit in all its complexity and simplicity.
他的作品表现出神秘深邃的意境、乐章时而轻快，时而深沉，借着音乐描绘出人类灵魂简单而又复杂的各个层面。

Judging from the accolades, fans are being taken to new heights of their own by Govi's uplifting melodies.
从乐迷的掌声中，我们知道高菲高昂的旋律已把听众带入一个新的境界和高度。

Currently living in Hawaii, Govi contends that the overwhelming response he has received from listeners worldwide is heartening and keeps him going.
高菲目前居住在夏威夷，他坦承，世界各地乐迷的回应给了他极大的鼓舞和继续创作的信心。
