Biography of Agua de Annique  Biography |  The music of Agua de Annique captures the consolation and the beauty of the life, described by a marvellous context of musical arrangements and emotional lyrics.
After having decided to leave the Dutch rock band The Gathering at the beginning of the year, the charismatic singer Anneke van Giersbergen formed this pop/alternative rock band in order to express her personal material solo and her texts.
Van Giersbergen which also plays piano on this album, wrote all the music and the texts, except «Sunken soldiers» by Kristin Fjellseth and «Come wander with me» by Jeff Alexandre.
The album «Air» released in autumn 2007, was recorded in various studios in Holland (Waterfront and The Void), as well as at home.
The band is composed of Joris Dirks (guitars/vocals), Jacques de Haard (bass) and Rob Snijders (drums). Additional musicians are also involved: Kristin Fjellseth (additional vocals), Heleen de Witte (flute), Tim Conroy (trumpet). The mixing of the album was carried out by Jon Anders Narum.
The first time that the music's world heard of Anneke van Giersbergen was when she joined The Gathering, doom metal band from the Netherlands, occupied to modify their style and to revolutionize the world of the music.
Her beautiful vocal melodies placed on the powerful tonalities of the guitar create a single metal sound with female singer who still inspires so many bands today.
Her 13 years in this band (1994-2007) were well filled: they carried out eight albums and traversed several times the world, unceasingly modifying their sound and their style.
Now with Agua de Annique, Anneke van Giersbergen moves towards new territories as singer and composer, a challenge which she takes up readily because hers emotions guide her without effort for each musical arrangement. |
