Gevende Presentation File

 MUSIC FROM NEVERLAND
“So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!”(Peter Pan) On stage Gevende makes a music which has no boundaries. They build up a context, start “playing” around it and end up with an inconceivable performance constructed with simple musical elements. It is hard to insert such a musical approach into a musical genre but ‘folk rock’ or ‘psychedelic folk’ would be convenient to define their music. Gevende’s musical taste consists of collected pieces from every place they go, every music they listen, every culture they touched and make a fusion which can be loved by the people of all lands. In September 2006 they hit the road for a musical journey which influenced their music and affected their lives forever. They took a route through Iran, Pakistan, India, to Nepal where they shared their music with local artists and experienced a musical interaction with those lands which was a lifetime experience for sure. In their songs Gevende uses a language which belongs to nowhere. It is an imaginary mixture or phonetic imitation of the world languages so that everyone could find a word or a sound of his/her own. ‘The spontaneous tongue of world’ we call.. Since their formation (2000) the band have performed at several prestigious festivals around the world, been awarded for their work many times and the interest to their music is growing rapidly. Now they are much more impatient to widen the circle then ever. Gevende also attract attention of international musicians. Recently, the band realizes a music project together with the acclaimed bass clarinet player Tobias Klein, and guitarist Damien Cluzel.
