简介
Guy Sweens ，出生于荷兰东南部，孩提时就对音乐显示很大的兴趣，年轻时爱听流行音乐和古典音乐。在祖父的启发下，他开始学钢琴，也是在这个时候，他发现自己喜欢编写音乐。16岁的他发现一门新奇的技巧十分流行，那就是将现存的唱片进行混音制作。1986年，Guy 偶然收听到世界著名混音音乐人兼制作人主持 Ben Liebrand 的每周音乐广播。受到Liebrand的启发，Guy开始自己制作混音音乐。他在家里，用他卧室前面的一间房做为家庭工作室。几乎他所有的音乐都在比利时电台“Maasvallei Radio”一档名为“Golfbreker”的节目中被 DJ Raoul Morreau 播放。通常，他都会去 Maasvallei Radio 的工作室发布他的新作品并就怎样制作一个混音作简短的访谈。 1990年，Guy改变方向开始制作舞曲。这些舞曲也经常在 Maasvallei Radio 上播放。1993年，Guy决定开始创作一种全新的曲风，新世纪音乐。在收听 DJ Jan ten Hoopen 主持的音乐节目“黎明之光”时，Guy第一次听到了新世纪音乐，他的热爱从此一发不可收拾。一直到2000年Guy都在同时进行舞曲（多数为迷幻舞曲）和新世纪音乐的制作。接下来的时间里，他专心制作新世纪音乐和世界融合音乐。Guy发现，相比舞曲，他更喜欢创作新世纪音乐这一流派的乐曲，因为它更多样化，也能流传更久。新世纪音乐和世界融合音乐的制作让他感觉自在，不用像创作舞曲那样专门为了跟随新潮曲风去创作。 2005年，Guy成为一名职业作曲家兼音乐制作人。 他获得 MG Music 新才艺大奖并且在那一年与 MG Music 签约。2005年春天，Guy 发布和 MG Music 合作的第一张专辑《Gaya of Wisdom》。 2006年，Guy参加了一个CD制作项目，即《OM》，创作了一个曲目，由 Medwyn Goodall 的吉他和排箫，以及 Terry Oldfield 的班苏里长笛伴奏。 Guy的音乐充满活力，激情，神圣并且充满美妙，柔和的旋律。它是印度音乐和西方异国情调的融合。为了达到这一效果，Guy运用了世界各地的各种乐器，加上现代技术合成。 在Guy的创作历程中，受德国音乐家 Karunesh 的影响，他的某些乐曲里能够感受到一丝 Karunesh 的影子。 Guy was born in the South-East of the Netherlands. He showed much interest in music as a child and was spending time listening to pop and classical music throughout his youth. His grandfather inspired Guy to play the piano and it was at this time he discovered how he enjoyed composing music by himself. When Guy reached the age of 16, he found out about a rarely new technique in the pop music scene that was and still is very popular: (re)mixing of already existing records. By coincidence, Guy discovered the weekly broadcast remixes of world famous Dutch remixer/producer Ben Liebrand in 1986. Inspired by Liebrand's remixes, Guy started to make remixes himself. A room in front of his bedroom in his parents' house became his home-studio. In that time, Guy frequently worked together with a schoolmate who was regularly working as a DJ in a club in Valkenburg. The equipment became more professional and Guy bought his first synthesizer: the Yamaha DX-21 (little brother of the famous DX-7). With this synthesizer, Guy was now able to add new instruments (like bass-lines) to the original track which made the remix more attractive. Almost all of Guy's remixes were broadcast on Belgium radiostation "Maasvallei Radio" in a show called "Golfbreker" by DJ Raoul Morreau. On many occasions, Guy went to Maasvallei Radio to announce his new remix and to give a short interview about how he made the remix. The remixing went on until the beginning of the 1990's. Guy found out that, although remixing was very much fun, he was still just re-arranging music that was made by somebody else. Now it was time to create his own music and so he started to compose dance music. On frequently basis, Guy worked together with another schoolmate who owned two synthesizers. Their joined forces resulted in some very nice dance-tracks that were also broadcast on Maasvallei Radio. In 1993, Guy switched to a brand new and totally different musical style called New Age Music. He already discovered this music in 1987, while listening to a radio-show called "Het is te Hoopen" by DJ Jan ten Hoopen. The first New Age song Guy ever listened to was "Dawnlight" from Karunesh. After hearing this song on the radio, he quickly wrote down it's title and went to an esoteric shop in Maastricht where he bought the complete album. From that moment on, Guy discovered more very good New Age and World-Music artists and bought a lot of cd's in this genre. The year 2000 became a turning point in Guy's musical career. From now on he decided to concentrate only on composing New Age and World-Fusion Music. Guy preferred composing music in this genre, because it is more melodic, varied and everlasting than Dance music. New Age and World-Fusion gave him much more freedom to express himself without the obligation to constantly keeping up with new musical trends, which is always the case in the Dance scene. Guy's most important inspirational sources are traditonal Asian and Indian music, the moody style of Jazz, pop- and classical music, but also the Middle-Ages and the music of that time. All these musical styles have the ability to express all kinds of feelings. Guy's music can best be defined as vibrant, passionate, spiritual and full of melodic warmth with gentle rhythm. It is a fusion of western and exotic styles with a clear Indian influence. In order to create these textures, Guy uses many different instruments from all over the world, combined with modern synthesis and technology. Some highlights of Guy's career: 2003: Guy started his own record label "Rivendel Records Limited" for the release of his first cd-album "The Passion for Music". This album was distributed on a small scale and was later on used as a demo. 2005: Guy became a professional artist, composer and producer. He won the MG Music New Talent Competition and signed a record deal with MG Music later that year. MG Music is a record company based in the UK and owned by highly acclaimed New Age and World-Fusion artist Medwyn Goodall and his wife Wendy. In Spring 2005, Guy released his first album with MG Music "Gaya of Wisdom". This album tells the story of Gautama Siddharta who became the Buddha. 2006: Guy participated in a cd-project called "OM" and wrote and produced the track "Mahayana" featuring Medwyn Goodall on guitar and pan-pipes and Terry Oldfield (brother of Mike Oldfield) on the Bansuri-flute. 2007: The release of "Kamadeva", Guy's follow-up to Gaya of Wisdom which tells the story of the Hindu god of love. 2007 was also the year that Guy's albums were released in the USA via Californian based record label Gemini Sun Records. 2008: "Mahayana" proved to be a big succes and became the opening track on a collection cd called "Music That Illuminates Your Life", released by Gemini Sun Records. In the same year, three of Guy's tracks also appeared on a collection cd called "World Collection 2 - Spirit & Rhythm" released by MG Music. 2009: Brings the final chapter of Guy's India-Trilogy with the album "The Legend of Ganesha". This album tells the legendary story of Ganesha and features guest performances by Medwyn Goodall on guitar, mandolin and pan-pipes and Sangit Om on Bansuri-flute.
