Hawthorne | zh

Nathaniel Hawthorne (born Nathaniel Hathorne; July 4, 1804 – May 19, 1864) was an American novelist and short story writer. Nathaniel Hathorne was born in 1804 in the city of Salem, Massachusetts to Nathaniel Hathorne and Elizabeth Clarke Manning Hathorne. He later changed his name to "Hawthorne", adding a "w" to dissociate from relatives including John Hathorne, a judge during the Salem Witch Trials. Hawthorne attended Bowdoin College and graduated in 1825; his classmates included future president Franklin Pierce and future poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Hawthorne anonymously published his first work, a novel titled Fanshawe, in 1828. He published several...

The Hawthorne Effect could be called a progressive metal band, but it’s a description that may not accurately sum up the Providence, RI quintet. Mixing elements of metal, jazz, and funk, with odd time signatures, the goal is to give the listener something completely different, yet still maintain a sense of melody and familiarity. The result is The Hawthorne Effect’s debut EP “A Study in Motivation”. Recorded at Zing Studios with Eric Arena (Under Falling Skies, Endwell), mixed by Jim Fogarty (Killswitch Engage, The Acacia Strain), and mastered by Alan Douches (Between the Buried and Me, Misfits, Dillinger Escape Plan),...

Hawthorne Heights乐队2001年成立于俄亥俄州西南部城市Dayton，最早乐队叫A Day In The Life，成立之初还是在简单的模仿green day,blink 182,戏剧性的先后换掉当初所有5名成员后更名为Hawthorne Heights，新乐队改变了原有的风格并且开始了高速的创作，他们在音乐融里入melodic punk（旋律punk）和hxc（硬核）/emo，乐队独特的气质把这些时髦的元素交融的不温不火，同时不落俗套。之后乐队自费同Descendents, From Autumn To Ashes ，Coheed游历了五个国家并且开始了他们的巡演生涯。2003年11月的一个周六，Victory Records的总裁Tony Brummel在例行公事般的听了乐队毛遂自荐的demo cd后立即决定要签下了这个名不见经传的年轻乐队，后来乐队的表现证明了Tony Brummel的眼光独而并非是一时的冲动。随即五个年轻人奔赴芝加哥开始了第一支单曲《Ohio is for lovers》录制工作，从此成为了一支真正的职业乐队。《Ohio is for lovers》推出后便在网络和电台得到了极高的支持率，以至很多人都开始对俄亥俄充满向往，他们打电话到电台和乐队的公司，想知道这群家伙究竟是什么乐队。《Ohio is for lovers》的大受欢迎让公司对乐队充满信心，他们请来制作人Sean O’Keefe（曾经制作过Fall Out Boy, Spitalfield）开始为乐队录制处女专辑《The Silence In Black And White》，为了这张专辑，乐队在录音室里整整呆上了四个礼拜。谈到乐队的第一次正式录音经历，五个年轻人难掩内心的激动，“事实上JT 同样是我们乐队不可或缺的吉他手，同Micah和Casey一道，他们三名吉他手为整张专集贡献了风格各异却又彼此融合的riff,这也极大的丰富了每一首歌的层次”鼓手Eron补充道“我们不会疏忽录音中任何一个细节，我们在这四个礼拜从容不迫的进行了很多编配上的实验，这不仅仅是一张令我们骄傲的唱片，还是乐队进步的有力证明”。 　　在美国历史上，俄亥俄州从未被认知为一个浪漫的地方，不过Hawthorne Heights的出现使这种情况发生了令人难以置信的改变。就象木马乐队《美丽的南方》，使得“南方”在所有乐迷心中产生膜拜的温暖，Hawthorne Heights音乐里的俄亥俄应该是温情的，有着淡淡的忧伤和一丝怀旧的情结.Hawthorne Heights用他们的音乐情绪定义了俄亥俄州的浪漫。 　　“同我们的音乐一样, Hawthorne Heights从来就不是一支高调的乐队,我们只是在努力的实现着乐队成立之初的梦想”主唱JT说道”我们要做职业乐队,四处旅行,展示我们的音乐和激情,仅此而已” 　　低调,敏锐,同俄亥俄州众多的地下乐队一样, Hawthorne Heights给emo带来一丝不同的味道.是否能亲自去俄亥俄寻找浪漫这并不重要,重要的是每一个听过Hawthorne Heights音乐的人,也许都能从中找到一份属于自己的浪漫. .

Mayer Hawthorne (real name Andrew Mayer Cohen) grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and vividly remembers, as a child, driving with his father and tuning the car radio in to the rich soul and jazz history the region provided. “Most of the best music ever made came out of Detroit,” claims the singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, who counts Isaac Hayes, Leroy Hutson, Mike Terry, and Barry White among his influences, but draws the most inspiration from the music of Smokey Robinson, Curtis Mayfield and the legendary songwriting and production trio of Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland and Eddie Holland Jr. The...
