Hetane

Hetane - five-piece band with female vocals telling stories about human machines, eccentric ghosts and primary instincts. Founded in 2002/2003, the group consisted of Magda Oles (vocals, lyrics) and Radek Spanier (music). Hetane played the first concert in 2004 on Minimax.pl Festival in Warsaw. The guitarist "Jelen" Lukas Pol joined the band in November 2004. They played as a trio on tour with Freak of Nature, Closterkeller and Her. The first unofficial maxi-single was "Find the lost ghosts", which contains 7 songs. In 2008 a bassist Rem Karpienko and drummer "Malina" Janusz Malinowski joined the band. They played their first concert together in Polish Radio 3 in Agnieszka Osiecka's studio in January 2009. The first official debut album "Machines" was released on 6th March 2009. It contains 12 songs. Since that time, the band has started playing concerts and taken part in many music projects. The most important of them are: Wegorzewo Festival 2009, Wroclaw Podwodny Festival 2009, "Nowe brzmienie Lecha Janerki" concert in Wroclaw where the band presented their own interpretation of two songs of a Polish well-known artist Lech Janerka; a project called "Pamietamy '44- Gajcy" in Warsaw where the band played the song "Czarne okna", supporting Fields of the Nephilim on their concert in Warsaw, 2010. Hetane was also released on the album „Play Shortcut to Polish Music” by Adam Mickiewicz Institute and Shortcut, the 4-CD-publication for promotional purposes in Europe. Hetane released their second album called "Animan" on 23rd March 2013. The album contains 9 songs. The instruments were recorded in 2011/2012 with the producer Marcin Bors in his Fonoplatykon Studio in Wroclaw. Like on the debut album, vocals were recorded by Magda in her house. "Animan" was mixed and mastered in Fonopastykon Studio. The rough and dirty sound of this album is the result of collaboration with Marcin Bors. The album was partly funded by the fans in a crowd funding campaign. "Fullness" is Hetane's third album. The album is definitely more atmospheric than the previous ones. It contains 10 tracks, mostly Polish-language. Electronic, at times cinematic atmosphere, sensuality and shamanic pulse and wild energy. These are the main components of the music, which is not easy to classify and set by genre. On their third album, the band reached for new instrumentation. In addition to the live instruments dedicated to the musicians of Hetane, we will hear, among others, warm analog synthesizers, piano, string section, brass, frame drum, tank-drum and many organic sounds that the musicians recorded themselves, eavesdropping on rivers, winds, rains and melting snows, among others.
