Australia: Listen to the remix of “Te Deum” by Voyager!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

This year’s cotest is over for quite some time now, but the participants do not stop their work, and they keep on making music. Some of them are preparing their next steps, some are already on tour and some are about to release new songs.

Voyager, the band that represented Australia at this year’s Eurovision and got ninth place, give us a new remix of “Te Deum”. The prelude named “Te Deum” is the well-known anthem of the contest that is always heard as the opening of the Eurovision Song Contest.

You can listen to the remix of “Te Deum” by Voyager in the video below:

This new version of the song has been used lately in all the videos that premiered through the contest’s official YouTube channel, as a countdown.

The Frontman of the band, Danny, stated on this:

“For Voyager, creating the new YouTube premiere countdown music for the EBU is an absolute compositional highlight. To be able to forge the original Te Deum theme with some beautiful ambient sounds, ‘80s synths, soaring Floyd-esque guitars and a ramping of suspense was very special. It’s a nod to ESCs past, present and future and it elicits that warm feeling of anticipation that we all know and love: it’s Eurovision time!”

Australia was represented by the group, Voyager and the song “Promise” which gave the country the 9th place of the final with 151 points. It’s worth mentioning that Australia qualified first from the second semi-final.

Eurovision 2023: Australia’s First Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Next up on stage we will be seeing Voyager on their first rehearsal as the representatives of Australia in this year’s competition with “Promise”.

Who are Voyager?

Voyager is a progressive metal band from Perth, Western Australia, formed in 1999. The band has released seven full-length albums to date.

In 2020 they had submitted a song to represent Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 called “Runaway”, but were eventually not selected as one of the 10 artists competing in the country’s national final.

Last year, the band was selected to take part in Eurovision – Australia Decides and came second with “Dreamer”. In fact, it came in the first place of the televoting.

The Rehearsal

Unfortunately this year, accredited journalists don’t get the chance to watch the first and second rehearsals, so we only get the information and content that the organizers officially release to the public.

This is a great tune to finish off the second Semi-final – with the 80s-style synths leading into a big old rock chorus. It manages to sound distinctively Australian and fabulously Eurovision at the same time, which is a great indicator of how much Australia have rolled themselves in Eurovision glitter since they joined the contest in 2015. Voyager look like absolute pros, and are rocking both the Liverpool stage and those sequinned houndstooth check outfits.

They also have a car on stage, which we saw in the prop store yesterday and wondered who it belonged to. I’m afraid we can’t tell you the make or model. It looks 80s and sporty.

The second rehearsal for Australia will be held on the 5th of May, when we will know how things will appear on screen for Voyager.

Australia: Listen to Voyager’s cover of My Sister’s Crown!

Voyager, the representatives of Australia in Eurovision 2023, shared a video on social media platforms, in which they are covering My Sister’s Crown by Vesna, the Czech entry for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest

@voyagerau

Who needs a royal title when you can just rock out to @Vesna’s ‘My Sister’s Crown’? 👑 #Eurovision2023 #vesna #esc #songcover #guitar #bandsoftiktok #voyageraustralia

♬ original sound – Voyager

Eurovision 2023 is music-genre and language barrier free and nothing precludes an Australian rock band of covering a song sung in many Slavic languages, such as Ukrainian, Czech and Bulgarian. Such an interesting promo strategy used by Eurovision 2023 participants!

Voyager with their song Promise participates in the 2nd Semifinal on May 11, performing 16th. Their first technical rehearsal is scheduled for Tuesday 2/5.

Australia: Marvin Dietmann Announced as Artistic Director for Eurovision 2023!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Austrian choreographer Marvin Dietmann has been announced as Voyager’s artistic director for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool.

Marvin Dietmann became well-known in 2014 after being the choreographer of the winner Conchita Wurst! Just last year he directed 6 performances (Armenia, Austria, Cyprus, Germany, Israel, United Kingdom).

This year, he is expected to direct at least ten countries, among them Armenia, Austria, Germany, Georgia, United Kingdom, Cyprus and others.

Voyager’s appearance in Liverpool is going to be a typical Voyager show, but multiplied by 1000.

When performing on a stage for TV you have two audiences. You have the audience in the arena and then you have the audience at home. So you’ve got to perform to all the people and make sure everyone’s having a good time.

You have to enjoy the dance party in the arena. But then you’ve got to stare down that camera and make sure you’re playing to that person on the couch.

Voyager

Voyager also mentions that they are “flirting” with the idea of fireworks, but also with the explosion of a part of the drum kit that should explode at some point.

Voyager and Promise compete from the sixteenth and final position, in the second semi-final.
