June 5, 2007, 17 years ago
Having just announced her departure from THE GATHERING, singer Anneke van Giersbergen has posted the following update at her MySpace page:
"Dear friends,Over the last 10 years I have turned many dreams and experiences into songs. I started recording a selection of the very personal ones during the past 6 months. We've laid down the basic tracks at the Waterfront Studio's in Rotterdam and recorded overdubs at The Void in Eindhoven, as well as in the comfort of my own home studio. I'm excited to send these songs off into the world and share them with you all!
I have formed a band called AGUA DE ANNIQUE to help me voice these songs. We will release an album called Air in the fall of 2007. Besides the wonderfully talented people in the band, a few of my friends will make appearances on this album.
The lovely Kristin Fjellseth will sing additional vocals, Jeffrey Fayman has made a string arrangement for a song called 'Ice Water'. Heleen de Witte plays the flute and Timothy Conroy provided some killer trumpet work. The album is mixed by Jon Anders Narum."
Agua de Annique is:
- Anneke van Giersbergen; vocals/piano- Joris Dirks; guitars/vocals
- Jacques de Haard; bass
- Rob Snijders; drums
