The early days... PinkNoise is a Pink Floyd-coverband, playing with 6 persons. Harmjan Olthof (guitar and vocals) and Sander Hoppe (bass and vocals) are two of the founders of the band, who, about 8 years ago, together with the bandmembers Rob Pouwels (Keyboards and samples), Fraukje Thijssen (keyboards and vocals) and Joost Rietbergen (guitar), began with the preperations for the well known rockopera ‘The Wall’. As the project grew further, the band had 11 bandmembers.
And then?
After serveral “The Wall†gigs, for example in concertgebouw de Vereeniging - Nijmegen, the band found a new direction. Together with (back then) the new drummer Jean van Bernebeek they started to study the album “Animals†.This album was performed a few times very succesfully.
And now?
These days we found a new direction again and we started to play numbers of known and less known Floyd songs from serveral albums including “Shine on you crazy diamond†and “Echoes†. Again with a new drummer "Lude Bakema", we work to a big number of only Floyd songs so we can facinate the audience for 2 hours or maby longer. After these 8 years we have collected lots of instruments (od and new) so we can create every single sound Floyd did. We use Voice and whale boxes, hammond organ, lesly rotating speakers, vocoders etc etc. Besides that the world famous sound of David Gilmour is re-created as good as possible by using almost the same equipment as Dave does.
All in all a big chance that music takes over completely and won’t let you untill the last tone has fade away.
