My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 04/12/2006
Band Website: www.hadewych.net
Band Members: Nyland - writing, seeking - live: vocals / guitars / synth / gong ageng / zither / mutilated piano

Scramasax - percussion / timpani / gongs / sampler

Didier - bass / synth / accordion (live)

Dercksen - guitars / effects (live)

Influences: Movement of woods, rocks, plants & nature as such - plus the vastness of it all. Abyssal fear, fire, wholeness, monolithic things, megaliths, human insignificance, occult systems of cosmology & meaning, open systems of cosmology & meaning, clean violence, swift violence, enlightenment...

Avant-garde music in every sense of the word, ritual music, atmospheric aesthetics of old black metal, prepared piano pieces by 20th century composers, some ambient, some shoegaze, some art rock, some neo-folk.

Alternating thematic staccato 'directness' and lush ambience, functional dissonance, non-song-based structuring, 'hooks' in unusual non-western tonality, vocal experiments...
Sounds Like: Member of Dutch avant-garde collective TUCHTUNIE

FAQ

How to pronounce?

Ha- (with an 'a' as in father, but a bit more 'open' - not as much as an 'æ', but more like the 'a' in the German word 'Bahn') -de- (the 'e' sounds like the 'u' in 'gun') -wych ('y' sounds more or less like the 'ee' or 'ea' like in 'bleed' or 'mean' and the 'ch' is a bit like the 'ch' in the Scottish word 'loch' or in the German 'gleich'). Note that the 'w' is much 'thinner' than the one in for instance the English 'what' (and sounds practically the same as the German 'w' in 'Wasser' or Norwegian 'v' in 'vann'). Emphasis on the first syllable.

Christian/Gospel band?

No
