Dal 1995 gli Hooverphonic non hanno mai studio 'In Wonderland' smesso di creare pop dalle suggestioni cinematografiche. In due decenni di carriera, in patria, gli Hooverphonic sono diventati leggendari: in Belgio, infatti, la band "sforna-hit" è considerata una vera e propria Il primo singolo 'Badaboum' in radio dal 26 istituzione. febbraio 2016 Il bassista e produttore Alex Callier e il chitarrista Raymond Geerts costituiscono il nucleo creativo della band, al quale, nel corso di questi vent'anni, si sono avvicendate diverse voci femminili come Liesje ANTONIO GALLUZZO Sadonius, Kyoko Baertsoen, Esther Lybeert, Geike Arnaert e Noémie Wolfs. Gli archi sono il fil rouge dei dischi degli Hooverphonic: li troviamo nei loro primi grandi successi 'Mad About You' e 'Eden', 'The Night Before' e 'Angel Never Dies' e ora nel singolo 'Badaboum' e in altri otto [email protected] brani del nuovo disco. L'album si compone di 10 canzoni dove troviamo SPETTACOLINEWS.IT la collaborazione di molti artisti: Janie Price aka Bird,cantante/violoncellista londinese, interpreta la title track e 'I Like The Way I Dance', il cantautore Felix Howard canta 'God's Gift' e 'Moving', mentre Litlo Tinz accompagna la parigina Emilie Satt in 'Badaboum' e 'Cocaine Kids'.

"Siamo fissati con gli anni '60. A quell'epoca i singoli andavano più degli album. Poi nel 1966 arrivò Revolver dei Beatles, che cambiò radicalmente le cose e divenne il primo concept album anziché una semplice raccolta di singoli. Nell'era di Spotify, Deezer e Apple Music, siamo tornati al punto di partenza e ancora una volta i singoli sono più importanti degli album. Per questo motivo 'In Wonderland' è stato concepito come raccolta di cinque singoli, con altrettanti universi e sapori, con un lato A e un lato B" afferma Alex. "I brani sono stati incisi in posti diversi, tra cui una piccola isola norvegese, un paese vicino a Milano, un soggiorno di Londra e il nostro studio in Belgio. Sono delle autentiche collaborazioni: i cantanti hanno anche partecipato alla scrittura dei brani, che sono uno diverso dall'altro. Le collaborazioni ampliano gli orizzonti: ti aiutano a mantenere viva la creatività e ad evolverti." Pag. 1 / 1.

(Pindar) Water. There's too much of it, or too little. It's too salty, or too sweet. It wells up from the ground, carves itself a way through the land, and then it's called a river or a stream. It descends from the heavens in a variety of forms - as dew or hail, to mention just the extremes. And then, of course, there is the all-encompassing water which we call the sea, and which reminds us of the beginning of all things. The English once labelled the Netherlands across the North Sea ‘this indigested vomit of the sea’. But the Dutch went to work on that vomit, systematically and stubbornly: ‘... their tireless hands manufactured this land, / drained it and trained it and planed it and planned’ (James Brockway). As God's subcontractors they gradually became experts in living apart together. Look carefully at the first photo. The water has struck again. We're talking 1926. Gelderland. The small, stocky woman visiting the stricken province is Queen Wilhelmina. Without turning a hair she allows herself to be carried over the waters.

  • Chronique Des Pigeons N°10
    La chronique des pigeons no HOOVER ’est en 1995 que le groupe Hoover voit le jour. Formé de trois musiciens belges, Alex Callier (ça ne s’invente Cpas), Frank Duchêne, Raymond Geerts et d’une chanteuse, Liesje Sadonius. En 96 ils commencent à se faire connaître avec le single PHONIC 2 Wicky choisi par Bernado Bertolucci pour figurer sur la BO de son film Stealing beauty. Contraint de changer de nom pour cause d’homonymie avec un groupe américain, Hoover se rebaptise Hooverphonic et sort son premier album A New stereophonic sound spectacular A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular en 1997. Peu avant l’enregistrement de leur 1997 second album, Blue Wonder Power Milk Blue Wonder Power Milk (98), Liesje Sadonius quitte le groupe et est 1998 remplacée par une nouvelle chanteuse, Geike The Magnificent Tree Arnaert. Le clavier Frank Duchêne quitte alors Hooverphonic Presents Jackie2000 Cane le groupe, avant la parution de leur troisième 2002 album The Magnificient Tree en 2000. Sit Down and Listen to Hooverphonic 2003 No More Sweet Music (2CD) 2005 ooverphonic aime changer d’air, tester de nouveaux horizons musicaux. Le groupe belge avait créé la surprise avec «Jackie Cane», comédie musicale glamour années 50. Avec «Sit Hdown and listen to» ensuite, relecture acoustique, avec quatuor à cordes, d’anciens titres - non compris le célébrissime «Mad about you». Fin 2004, autre défi: le groupe donnait trois concerts incluant 10 nouveaux morceaux. Quelques-uns se retrouvent sur l’album «(No) more sweet music» qui vient de sortir. Ce 6e album est le plus abouti du groupe de Sint-Niklaas, qui soufflera ses dix bougies en 2006.

  • Hooverphonic | Reflection Tour*****
    Recensie: Hooverphonic | Reflection Tour***** Koninklijk Circus Brussel vrijdag 4 april 2014 foto © Tom Van Alphen Recensie: Hooverphonic vond zichzelf opnieuw uit in het Koninklijk Circus. Alles maar dan ook alles klopte van begin tot einde. De vintage setting recht uit de Kringloopwinkel: tapijt, een zetel, 3 houten meubelstukken waaronder één kast met tl lampen verwerkt in de schappen, enkele oude luidsprekers, goudkleurige bureaulampen die naar enkele muzikanten gericht zijn voor een extra lichteffect, een tiental ronde hanglampen met blauw doorschijnende kap erover en dat in een venue die van de negentiende eeuw dateert en erg veel houtwerk (inclusief de zitjes) aan de binnenkant heeft. Zelfs een tv addict van een commercieel televisiestation die zijn zetel niet uit komt, ziet daar de meerwaarde van. "Er is iets met deze zaal. Er hangt magie. Ik heb hier alleen nog maar geweldige concerten gezien“ zegt Callier die meegeeft dat het concert van zijn band vlotjes ook in dat rijtje mocht passen. Zo'n statement voelt wat aan als erg goeie seks gehad hebben, waarna meteen je sekspartner om de bevestiging vraagt dat het écht wel "top“ was. Dat werkt werkelijk zo dodelijk op de sfeer, en breekt de magie in geen tijd. Maar zo'n opmerking, hoe ongelukkig ook, is Alex Callier ook ten voeten uit ... Live staan Raymond Geerts (elektrische gitaar), Noémie Wolfs (zang) en Alex Callier (bas) met drummer Arnout Hellofs, toetsenist David Poltrock, gitarist en backing Joey Brocken, en toetsenist/gitarist/backing Tom Tritsmans op het podium tijdens deze sold out Reflection Tour. Hun jongste plaat heeft opnieuw platina gehaald wat in deze tijden verre van evident is welke perceptie een artiest met artiestennaam die een anagram van het woord Maestro vormt ook mag creëren.

  • Hooverphonic Een Goed Liedje En Een Mooi Jong Meisje Op
    Hooverphonic Een goed liedje en een mooi jong meisje op een Toscaans landgoed: dat is wat de Belgische groep Hoover in 1996 nodig had om wereldwijd bekend te worden. Het mooie jonge meisje was Liv Tyler. Ze speelde de hoofdrol in Bernardo Bertolucci’s film Stealing Beauty. Op de soundtrack van die film kon je ‘2wicky’ horen, de single die Hoover al heel wat airplay bezorgd had op Europese en Amerikaanse radiostations. ‘2wicky’ sloot muzikaal nauw aan bij de triphop van de Britse Bristol-scene, met groepen als Portishead, Massive Attack en Tricky, die op dat moment erg populair was. Op het moment dat Stealing Beauty in de zalen kwam, had Hoover al een eerste plaat uit, a new stereophonic sound spectacular (1996), waarop naast ‘2wicky’ nog tien andere triphop-achtige songs terug te vinden waren. Duidelijk geinspireerd door de elektronische muziek van de jaren ’80 en het retro-futuristische sfeertje dat daarbij hoorde, was a new... een soundscape eerder dan een plaat met mooi afgebakende liedjes die duidelijk van elkaar onderscheidbaar zijn. Desondanks blijft ‘2wicky’ toch met voorsprong de beste track van de plaat, al was het maar om de sterke sample uit Isaac Hayes’ ‘Walk on by’ die de hele klankkleur van het nummer bepaalt. Ook Jim Gillespie gebruikte ‘2wicky’ in zijn film I know what you did last summer (1997), waar het een moordscène muzikaal mocht ondersteunen. Het refreintje van ‘2wicky’ begint dan ook met de regels ‘i can hurt you / you can hurt me’. Na de debuutplaat veranderde de naam en de bezetting van de groep.

  • Eurovision Song Contest: La Musica Che Unisce L'europa... E Non Solo!
    Eurovision Song Contest: la musica che unisce l'Europa... e non solo! C'è chi la definisce la "Champions League" della musica e in fondo non sbaglia. L'Eurovision è una grande festa, ma soprattutto è un concorso in cui i Paesi d'Europa si sfidano a colpi di note. Tecnicamente, è un concorso fra televisioni, visto che ad organizzarlo è l'EBU (European Broadcasting Union), l'ente che riunisce le tv pubbliche d'Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Noi italiani l'abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson, l'abbreviazione per tutti è Eurovision. Oggi più che mai è una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2018 43 paesi: 42 aderenti all'ente organizzatore più l'Australia, che dell'EBU è solo membro associato, essendo fuori dall'area, ma che nel 2015 fu invitata dall’EBU per festeggiare i 60 anni del concorso per via dei grandi ascolti che la rassegna fa in quel paese e che poi a partire dal 2016 è stata ufficialmente invitata dall’organizzazione. Con 43 paesi in concorso, viene eguagliato il numero di artisti in gara nelle edizioni di Belgrado 2008 e Düsseldorf 2011: record assoluto L'ideatore della rassegna fu un italiano ovvero Sergio Pugliese, nel 1956 direttore della RAI, che ispirandosi a Sanremo volle creare una rassegna musicale europea. La propose a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio eurovisione, che mise il sigillo sull'idea: ecco così nascere un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv.
