SEVENTH HARMONIC (SE/UK)
SEVENTH HARMONIC este o trupa alcatuita dintr-un ansamblu neo-clasic feminin, formata in toamna anului 1999 de multi-instrumentalista Caroline Jago, o trupa ce se identifica prin pasaje euforice de o senzualitate aparte, remarcandu-se in acestea o mare diversitate de influente. Muzica lor imbina un caleidoscop intoxicant de intensitati ritmice cu pasaje vocale cu trimiteri etno-simfonice, sfidand orice incercare de catalogare, in acelasi timp insa pulsand dupa ritmurile unei inimi dark-simfonice.
* MCD-ul lor de debut – lansat prin eforturi proprii - ‘The Awakening’ a fost numit ‘Lansarea Lunii’ in martie 2000 de Audioglobe. Au mai urmat 2 CDuri oficiale, lansate la fel, fara sprijinul unei case de discuri.
* ‘The Ascent’ (2001) feat. Amandine Ferrari ca vocal (acum din trupa THE EDEN HOUSE) fiind votat ‘Albumul Anului’ de cititorii revistei britanice ‘Meltdown’
* ‘Promise of Sacrifice’ (2003) a continut piese difuzate la radioul BBC precum si pe postul de televiziune national al Regatului Unit, si ca un plus – colaborari cu DAEMONIA NYMPHE.
* Alte colaborari au fost realizate impreuna cu LOUISA JOHN-KROL si TONY WAKEFORD; diverse piese aparute pe un numar de compilatii internationale.
Dupa stabilirea unei baze de fani aflata in continua crestere (datorita concertelor internationale si a prezentei pe undele radio), trupa a atins succesul maxim ca si proiect nesemnat de o casa de discuri, intrand in hibernare in 2004. La scurt timp dupa aceasta, cele doua membre fondatoare s-au alaturat trupei SOL INVICTUS.
Trupa s-a reinfiintat la sfarsitul anului 2009, avand in componenta pe vocalista Ann-Mari Thim din ARCANA, incepand totodata si munca la noul material. WAVE GOTIK TREFFEN 2010 o sa fie martor debutului noii formule SEVENTH HARMONIC.
SEVENTH HARMONIC are an all-female neo-classical ensemble formed in Autumn 1999 by multi-instrumentalist Caroline Jago, creating sensual euphoric dreamscapes which draw on a great diversity of influences. The music blends an intoxicating kaleidoscope of rhythmic intensity and soaring vocals with ethno-symphonic overtures, defying categorisation yet always beating with a dark symphonic heart.
Their debut self-released MCD ‘The Awakening’ was made ‘Release of the Month’ in March 2000 by Audioglobe. Two more official CDs followed, which were also self-released:
* ‘The Ascent’ (2001) featured Amandine Ferrari (now of THE EDEN HOUSE) as vocalist, and was voted ‘Album of the Year’ by the readership of the UK magazine ‘Meltdown’.
* ‘Promise of Sacrifice’ (2003) had tracks featured on programmes on BBC Radio and national UK TV, in addition to collaborations with DAEMONIA NYMPHE.
Subsequent collaborators included LOUISA JOHN-KROL and TONY WAKEFORD, and tracks appeared on a number of international compilations.
After establishing a growing fanbase from international gigs and radio play, the band reached the peak of its achievement as an unsigned unit, and went into hibernation in 2004. The two founding members joined SOL INVICTUS shortly afterwards.
The band revived again in late 2009 with new singer Ann-Mari Thim from ARCANA, and immediately began working on new material. WAVE GOTIK TREFFEN 2010 will see the debut performance with the core of the new line-up.
