Van Der Graaf Generator Ti ricordi Syd? Van Der Graaf Generator 15 Aprile 2015 Van Der Graaf Generator – H To He Who Am The Only One Van Der Graaf Generator, gruppo rock progressive inglese formato da Peter Hammill (voce, tastiere, chitarra), Hugh Banton (organo, basso all’organo), David Jackson (flauto ma famoso per il suo doppio sax) e Guy Evans (batteria). Caso comune per molte band inglesi del genere, il primo successo lo hanno conosciuto proprio in Italia grazie a frequenti concerti e a collaborazioni con gruppi italiani. Famosa tra tutte, la loro performance al festival pop di Villa Pamphili nel 1972. Ma il grande e immediato riscontro in Italia di questo genere non può essere riportato solo all’attività di questi gruppi qui da noi. C’è l’educazione italiana alla musica classica e alla melodia, l’attenzione alla scrittura dei brani, la predisposizioni virtuosismi strumentali. Tutti ingredienti che nel progressive rock sono basilari. Non è un caso che l’altra terra di conquista sia stata la Germania. La band prende il nome dal generatore di Van de Graaff, strumento usato per accumulare una quantità di carica elettrica in un conduttore. Il sound dei VDGG è una combinazione di psichedelica, jazz, classica e avanguardia con dinamiche musicali innovative che passano da atmosfere lente, calme e tranquille a impennate feroci e pesanti. Un mondo decisamente diverso anche nei testi che abbandonano folletti, elfi e favole spaziali per descrivere disturbi e inquietudini dell’uomo reale, una sorta di lato oscuro del progressive ma proprio per questo terribilmente affascinante. Nel 1970 i VDGG erano ancora alla ricerca del successo nonostante il lavoro fatto per lanciarli dalla celebre etichetta specializzata in progressive rock Charisma. Ma evidentemente era solo questione di tempo se Robert Fripp in persona, reduce dal successo del primo album dei King Crimson scomoda la sua chitarra per suonare in un brano del nuovo albumo H To He Who Am The Only One, disco compiuto e impeccabile in tutti i suoi 5 brani, tra i quali la melanconica e pianistica “House with no door” – secondo chi scrive il loro capolavoro assoluto -, la inquietante e romantica “Lost” e l’aggressiva “Killer”. H To He è un disco nel quale prende piena forma e coscienza il sound cupo e drammatico, ma sempre estremamente raffinato e non scevro da efficacissime aperture melodiche. In verità molti indicano nell’ancora successivo Pawn Hearts la loro opera migliore. Questione di gusti, sono due lavori di altissimo livello. Durante l’incisione dell’album il bassista Nic Potter lasciò la band e l’organista Hugh Banton suonò il basso nei due brani non ancora terminati, successivamente nei concerti Banton provvide a suonare i pedali del suo organo per ovviare alla mancanza del bassista. Ancora oggi mettere sul piatto H To He Who Am The Only One, regala un forte scossa emotiva fatta di forti e imprevisti cambi di direzione ed è il vinile che se possibile acuisce ancora di più queste sensazioni con le sue profondità ma anche con le sue imperfezioni. Profondo e imperfetto esattamente con il suono dei VDGG lontano dalla ricerca della perfezione anche tecnica come invece succede per gruppi come Pink Floyd e Yes, gruppi che decisamente vanno ascoltati con impianti digitali..

  • Peter Hammill & Van Der Graaf Generator
    CE-AM VĂZUT, CITIT, AUZIT Peter Hammill & Van Der Graaf Generator Probabil că dezinteresul faţă de latura comercială şi versurile deseori criptice au făcut ca Peter Hammill să rămână oarecum în umbra celor de la Genesis, Yes, Jethro Tull, ELP sau chiar King Crimson, cu care a colaborat în mai multe rânduri. Peter s-a născut în Ealing (vestul Londrei) în 1948. După ce a absolvit Beaumont College, s-a înscris la cursurile de Liberal Studies of Science (Manchester University). Chiar în primul an de facultate (1967) pune bazele trupei Van Der Graaf Generator, împreună cu Nick Pearne (orgă) şi Chris Judge (tobe). În 1968 Pearne e înlocuit de Hugh Banton, iar Tony Stratton, angajat ca manager (Tony Stratton lucrase cu The Nice şi avea să preia, doi ani mai târziu, grupul Genesis) îi cooptează pe Keith Ellis (chitară bass) şi Guy Evens (chitară). În septembrie 1969 apare la casa de discuri Charisma Records, primul album Van Deer Graaf, The Aerosol Grey Machine, opt dintre cele nouă piese fiind concepute în integralitate de Peter Hammill. Deschizând câteva forumuri, veţi găsi aproape in- variabil aceeaşi impresie: Progressive-ul e un stil ceva mai dificil, e adevărat, dar îmi place, are un sound interesant; însă toleranţa mea se opreşte acolo unde începe muzica ce- lor de la Van Der Graaf Generator. Dar sfârşitul anilor ’60 a fost o perioadă a experimentelor, în care gândirea liberă nu era subminată de idei preconcepute (cel puţin în ves- tul Europei şi în partea de nord a Statelor Unite), astfel că trupa a avut admiratorii şi susţinătorii ei, chiar de la debut.

  • 'Curly's Airships' in One Way Or Another
    The Songstory by Judge Smith Home | Buy Now! Contents | Previous | Next CURLY'S AIRSHIPS is an epic work of words and music about the R.101 airship disaster of 1930, written in a new form of narrative rock music called songstory. This double CD involves eighteen featured performers, among whom are four of the original members of Van der Graaf Generator, including respected solo artist Peter Hammill and the composer of Curly's Airships, Judge Smith. Also participating are singer Arthur Brown (of The Crazy World), Pete Brown (of Battered Ornaments and Piblokto), Paul Roberts (of The Stranglers), John Ellis, (formerly of The Vibrators and The Stranglers), plus a 1920’s dance band, a classical Tenor, an Indian music ensemble and several cathedral organs. Six years in the making, Curly's Airships is probably one of the largest and most ambitious single pieces of rock music ever recorded.

Last updated on Navigation Home | Buy Now! Contents | Previous | Next CURLY'S AIRSHIPS tells the true story of the bizarre events which led to the destruction of the world’s biggest airship, the giant dirigible R.101, on its maiden voyage to India; a tale of the incompetence and arrogance of government bureaucrats, the ruthless ambition of a powerful politician and the moral cowardice of his juniors; a story of inexplicable psychic phenomena, the thoughtless bravery of 1920s aviators and the extraordinary spell cast by the gigantic machines they flew: the giant airships, the most surreal and dreamlike means of transport ever devised.

  • Van Der Graaf Generator 2020 Biog
    Van der Graaf Generator 2020 Van der Graaf Generator 2020 are Peter Hammill (vox, gtr, kbd), Hugh Banton (organ, bass) & Guy Evans (drums , percussion), the three surviving members of the original group formed in 1968. Darker and wilder than most of their contemporaries VdGG were known for sprawling, dense and complex songs on six albums recorded for the Charisma label between ‘69 and ‘76. Their unique sound was based on organ, sax, driving percussion and declamatory vocals. Constantly touring, they achieved their greatest success in Italy with the album “Pawn Hearts” in 1971. After warping into a powerful violin/bass/guitar set-up in 1976 the band finally split in 1978. After a gap of nearly thirty years the “classic” four-piece line-up reappeared in 2005 with a triumphant reunion concert at the Royal Festival Hall, London and a new recording, “Present” . They continued to surprise European audiences with the vigour and dynamism of their live performances for the remainder of the year. In 2006 the saxophonist David Jackson left the group. The trio have continued to surge forward, first playing a series of live shows and then recording the albums “Trisector” (2008)and “A Grounding in Numbers” (2010). In 2012 they released “Alt”, a collection of experiments and improvisations. Their last studio album “Do not Disturb” was released in 2015. In live performance, as in the studio, they strive to look forward rather than back and as much of their repertoire is taken from the new albums as from the old ones. They’ve also made it a point to bring back to life some surprising - and rarely performed - pieces from the past, both from the VdGG catalogue and from Peter Hammill’s solo works.

  • I Van Del Graaf Generator,Al Castello Di Udine Il 2 Lug. Al Festival Internazionale Udin&Jazz
    I Van del Graaf Generator,al Castello di Udine il 2 lug. al Festival Internazionale Udin&Jazz. I Van der Graaf Generator tornano in Italia nel 2013 con tre sole tappe, la prima delle quali è attesa al Castello di Udine, martedì 2 luglio, per chiudere la ventitreesima edizione del Festival Internazionale Udin&Jazz, storica kermesse friulana organizzata da Euritmica – Associazione Culturale di Udine e sostenuta dalla Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia e dal Comune di Udine. Scalda i motori il festival udinese, che si apre, come di consueto, nella seconda metà di giugno con alcune anteprime in provincia, per approdare nel capoluogo friulano con cinque intense giornate (dal 28 giugno al 2 luglio): artisti internazionali e nazionali sono attesi al teatro Palamostre e in altre sedi del centro città. A chiudere la kermesse, dunque, i Van der Graaf Generator, che a Udine (unica tappa del Triveneto) si presentano nella formazione originale, con Peter Hammill (voce, chitarra e tastiere), Hugh Banton (organo e basso) e Guy Evans (batteria e percussioni), anime della band sin dal suo esordio, nel 1968. I Van der Graaf Generator hanno scritto la storia della musica internazionale dagli anni Settanta, e difficilmente si accontentano di etichette di genere: il loro stile si eleva sul panorama musicale per la profondità delle idee, per il coraggio delle riflessioni, per la forza sperimentale delle indagini musicali mutuate dal jazz, dal rock, dal soul e dall’elettronica e tradotte in chiave del tutto rivoluzionaria, epica e selvaggia. Dense, complesse, pervasive sono le canzoni dei sei album incisi per Charisma tra il 1969 e il 1976.
