about the popduo positron
"The first songs are quite similar in style and were the result of the initial experimentation phase." The first song ever was "The way you want". The song came about quite quickly and we were happy with the result at the time. In mid-2006 we introduced the song "Being dumb". That was an important point, because the fans like it to this day and because it gave us a clearer definition of ourselves musically. From "Being dumb" onwards, the next songs became a bit more balanced, mature and diverse. Our aim was never to produce an album every year. That has to be full and often half of it is only third-rate material. That's nonsense. We rarely recorded songs compulsively, but only when we knew it was going to be a good song. That is of course always a matter of taste. There is currently new material, but no plans for release. Since our music is timeless and we don't do many "B-sides", it doesn't matter when we release something." (positron, band)
So, who or what are Positron? It's quite difficult to describe a band like Positron, not only
because it has its own unique blend of mainstream pop, electronic flavours and even a dash of
independent spices thrown into the mix. But also due to the fact that the two characters that ‘are’
Positron couldn't be more different. Actually you would probably say, they’re ‘chalk ‘n’ cheese!’
Putting aside their gender and age, which are obviously different, these two artists had two very
different perspectives on how they explored their love for music. On one hand, there is Fritzi, who began with a very classical and conservative musical education, including violin and piano lessons.
After some time she started experimenting with jazz which helped her realise her real passion in
simple pop as well as dance music. Then, on the other hand, is Dennis, who is more or less a self made musician, it all started with the early techno culture during the 90's. After that he worked as a songwriter for an array of bands and as well as composing music for numerous films.
So how and where could these two individuals, from two diverse worlds, come together to begin
their collaboration? Fate played its hand for these two when Fritzi was reading a paper, in the conservatory for musical education in Leipzig, in which Dennis had placed an advert looking for a singer to match his music. After their first face-to-face encounter they both instantaneously knew it was meant to be! He was bemused by her charismatic, exceptional voice and her appearance too. Fritzi found him to be her perfect match, musically, because he was not afraid to combine independent sounds with “cheesy” pop, a combination that once heard, is never forgotten.
Next was the birth of the name, a fairly quick process. From ‘positive electronic sounds’ it was
only a few tiny steps to arrive at the band name, ‘POSITRON’. Four years on, positron has been recording a vast amount of songs to discover and develop their distinctive style which has progressed with each and every song. Though the songs are quite positive there is also a certain amount of melancholy in them. The lyrics stay simple and right to the point, but not without meaning, inspired by love, life and friendship.
It's a split between the different styles of music. Some call it “pop”, some “electro” and others
“down tempo”, and us, well.....to put it in simple terms, it’s Positron!
Now you can experience energy loaded dance titles such as ‘Freak inside’ and ‘Burning hearts’, or
more chilled out tunes like ‘Down here’ and ‘No more’ plus many, many more.
Also their live shows have advanced; they supported the band Northern Lites on their ‘Letters and
signs’ tour and they shot a video. Watch this space......... there’s a lot in the pipeline!
