Radio Seven

Radio Seven

Indiferent cata muzica voi descarca in telefon sau pe laptop, indiferent cate albume am sau voi mai cumpara, intotdeauna radio-ul ma va atrage cu mirajul si forta lui de neegalat.

 EN: No matter how much music I download into my laptop or phone, no matter how many albums I own or buy, the radio will always fascinate me, with its unique charm and strength.

Am intrat de mica in studiouri de radio, pentru diverse interviuri, si de fiecare data am avut aceeasi senzatie de fascinatie si frica, deopotriva. Mi se pare incredibil cum niste oameni (in speta gazdele show-urilor de radio), avand ca unic instrument de transmitere a gandurilor si emotiilor vocea, glasul, reusesc sa aiba atat de multa forta incat mesajul lor sa vibreze in mii de case, masini, cafenele, creand o lume, un univers, dintr-o incapere antifonata de 2 metri patrati. De aici rezulta fascinatia. Iar frica, frica vine din faptul ca mi s-a propus sa prezint la un moment dat un show matinal si… nu m-am simtit pregatita. Nu atunci, cel putin. Radio-ul mi se pare extrem de frust, brut, iar asta e ceea ce cred ca ma sperie cel mai tare. Am avut de mai  multe ori senzatia ca live-ul radio-ului nu imi lasa secunda aia de care am nevoie ca sa ma indoiesc…

La toate acestea ma gandeam in timp ce ascultam zilele trecute matinalul lui Gainusa de la Radio Seven, radio care mi-a fost recomandat, urmand apoi sa-i fac un review, daca voi simti nevoia.  Radio Seven a inceput sa emita anul trecut, insa eu am reusit sa ajung pe frecventa lor, adica 103,4, abia imediat dupa ce m-am intors din Australia. Desi ei se definesc ca fiind “adult contemporary”, mie muzica lor imi aduce des momente de nostalgie, pentru ca playlist-urile lor sunt presarate cu hit-urile vechiului MTV, cand stateam noaptea tarziu ca sa prind cate un videoclip nou de la Alanis Morisette. In timp ce scriu aceasta postare se aude Hey Joe, un clasic al muzicii rock. Cam bine, nu-i asa?

Matinalul e gazduit de Gainusa, asa cum va spuneam mai sus, funny ca intotdeauna, proaspat si jovial, extrem de relaxat (asta apropo de temerile mele) si cu un tonus care te face sa te intrebi pe ce fus orar traieste omul, de are timp sa se energizeze la ore la care tu abia poti aduna cele doua cuvine, respectiv “buna” si “dimineata”. Dar, el e facut pentru asta, iar matinalul lui e tocmai bun pentru a incepe dimineata energizat. Marius Chivu este gazda rubricii “All you can read” care isi propune sa readuca lectura pe lista scurta a tuturor celor care isi doresc un plus de cultura in viata lor. Se vorbeste despre carti deseori chiar cu scriitorii lor, lucru care iti ofera o perspectiva unica asupra urmatoarei tale lecturi. Eu am prins o discutie tare interesanta cu poeta Angela Marinescu, iar Chivu i-a intervievat in emisiunea sa pe celebrii Mircea Cartarescu si Nora Iuga, asa ca nu uita sa dai drumul la radio la urmatoarea emisiune!

Eu  personal ma bucur de participarea lui Marius Vintila in aceasta echipa noua. Experienta sa incredibila in zona de radio garanteaza ca totul va suna bine! Marius are probabil una dintre vocile cele mai recognoscibile din radio, cu o experienta enorma in spate, un adevarat entertainer care stie cum sa te tina aproape iar pentru mine lucrurile astea conteaza cel mai mult, pe langa un playlist bun.

Va las aici link-ul catre site-ul lor si sper sa ii lasati sa va bucure astazi inceputul de saptamana si, de ce nu, chiar si zilele care urmeaza. Urez succes echipei la inceputul acestui nou drum, cu Radio Seven, si le doresc ascultatori multi si, in primul rand, de buna calitate, asa cum merita.

EN: Ever since I was a young girl, I went into radio studios for different interviews, and each time I had that same feeling of both fascination and fear. I find it unbelievable how some people (radio show hosts especially), having only their voice as an instrument to transmit their thoughts and emotions, manage to have such force that their message vibrates in thousands of homes, cars, coffee shops, creating a world, an universe, from a sound proof room of 2 square meters.  Hence the fascination. And the fear, well that comes from the fact that I was asked at one point to host a morning show and…I didn’t feel ready.  At least not then. I think the radio is extremely rough and that scares me the most. Many times I felt like the live of the radio doesn’t allow me to have that one second I need to doubt… 

I thought about all of this the other day while listening to Gainusa’s morning show at Radio Seven, radio which was recommended to me for a review. Radio Seven has been on air since last year, but I only got to their frequency 103,4 after returning from Australia. Although they describe themselves as “adult contemporary”, their music takes me down memory lane, because their playlists include hits from the old MTV, when I would stay up late to see a new Alanis Morisette video. While I am writing this post, they’re playing Hey Joe, a rock classic. Pretty cool, right?

Like I said before, the morning show is hosted by Gainusa, funny as always, fresh and cheerful, extremely relaxed (speaking of my fears) and high spirited, making you wonder what time zone he actually lives in, if he manages to be energized at such early hours, when you can barely say 2 words: “Good” and “morning”. But he is made for this and the morning show is just the right thing to start you off  for an energized morning.  Marius Chivu ist the host of the show “All you can read” which is set on bringing back reading to the short list of everyone who wishes for some extra culture in their life. Books are the main topic, often discussed with their writers, which gives you a unique perspective over your next reading. I listened to a very interesting conversation with the poet Angela Marinescu, and Chivu has interviewed the famous Mircea Cartarescu and Nora Iuga on his show, so don’t forget to tune in next time!

I am especially happy about Marius Vintila being in this new team. His incredible experience with radio guarantees that everything will sound good! Marius has probably one of the most recognizable voices on air, with a strong background, a true entertainer who knows how to keep you close and to me that matters most, beside a good playlist.

Here is the link to their website and I hope you will allow them to bring you joy at the beginning of the week and for the days to follow. Good luck to the team at Radio Seven and many quality listeners, like they deserve.
