About Frank Wingold
Wingold’s official biography identifies him as a Cologne resident who studied jazz and classical guitar at the Hilversum Conservatory. It documents teaching in Osnabrück and Groningen and a practice combining acoustic and electric guitar techniques with improvisation and composition.[1]
The biography distinguishes his quartet Clairvoyance, the trio agog, and the ensemble Underkarl from composition for film, modern musical theater, radio drama, chamber orchestra, and contemporary-music settings. This breadth keeps his leader groups separate from commissioned and sideman work.[1]
Wingold’s artist-run Bandcamp provides direct access to Hiatus Blues, To Be Frank, and Entangled Music. The three releases extend the official project guide with full streaming under his own name rather than relying on event recordings.[2][1]
