Il partage aujourd&rsquo;hui sa vie, entre son pays et la capital allemande. Sa musique d\u00e9pressive, est associ\u00e9e au mouvement Post Folk, sorte de Cold wave organique.<br \/>\nSes premiers enregistrements remontent \u00e0 2011, avec un premier album <em><strong>Too Early in the journey<\/strong><\/em>, rest\u00e9 confidentiel. En 2013, il sort un EP (<em>All the Things<\/em>), teint\u00e9 de guitares blues et de banjo, le rapprochant des ses ain\u00e9s, de <strong>L\u00e9onard Cohen<\/strong> \u00e0 <strong>Johnny Cash<\/strong>.<br \/>\nAvec ce second album, qu&rsquo;il baptise <strong><em>Dolorous<\/em><\/strong>, Gil Hockman pousse son Folk dans un minimalisme extr\u00eame &#8211; un brin electro &#8211; pour laisser plus d&rsquo;espace aux mots et aux \u00e9motions. Son album d\u00e9bute sur ces mots \u00ab\u00a0<em>Come into my world, where no-one stands next to me, The scriptures of my heart are nothing but chemistr<\/em>y\u00a0\u00bb, litt\u00e9rallement, \u00a0\u00bb Entrez dans mon monde, l\u00e0 o\u00f9 personne ne reste pres de moi. Les \u00c9critures de mon coeur ne sont rien que la chimie\u00a0\u00bb. (<a href=\"http:\/\/gilhockman.bandcamp.com\/track\/white\" target=\"_blank\">White<\/a>)<br \/>\nLe second titre, <a href=\"http:\/\/gilhockman.bandcamp.com\/track\/night-bird\" target=\"_blank\">Night Bird<\/a>, est plus concis dans le propos et tient en 4 vers, \u00ab\u00a0<em>She sings in the daytime, She sings in the night, All along she is waiting, Like a bird for flight<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p><b>[wonderplugin_audio id=\u00a0\u00bb5&Prime;]<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Ce titre est illustr\u00e9 sobrement par quelques boucles electro et trois accords de guitare folk. L&rsquo;interpr\u00e9tation de Gil Hockman est douce, m\u00e9lancolique, attachante.<br \/>\nCes deux titres donnent le ton de tous l&rsquo;album : l&rsquo;\u00e9motion est garantie \u00e0 chaque titre, comme ce que savait faire <strong>Tom McRae<\/strong>, \u00e0 l&rsquo;\u00e9poque de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kcqm8_hImJ8\" target=\"_blank\">End of The World News<\/a> ou de <strong>Joseph Arthur<\/strong>, au temps de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=L3BRJtgL2cA\" target=\"_blank\">Mercedes<\/a>.<br \/>\nChaque mot, chaque phrase sur ce nouvel album de Gil Hockman rime avec douleur ou avec souvenir, c&rsquo;est le propre du po\u00e8te que de traduire les \u00e9motions avec des mots. Et Gil Hockman le fait avec son coeur, \u00e7a se sent de la premiere \u00e0 la derniere note du bien nomm\u00e9 <em> <strong>Dolorous<\/strong><\/em>. Le dernier titre de ce disque, <em>Newish<\/em>, aurait pu \u00eatre \u00e9crit par <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yrw7l1ZO2m0&amp;list=RDyrw7l1ZO2m0#t=0\" target=\"_blank\">Eels<\/a><\/strong>, avec ces mots \u00ab\u00a0<em>Maybe a happy tune can make a happy heart<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0, faussement dansant, se terminant sur la grande sortie&#8230;<br \/>\n<b><span style=\"color: #ff3300;\"><em>Dolorous<\/em><\/span><\/b> est un hymne magnifique au Spleen, \u00e0 la douce chaleur du vague \u00e0 l&rsquo;\u00e2me, au taedium vitae, un jeu dangereux qui a cout\u00e9 la vie \u00e0 Kurt Cobain, Elliott Smith, Ian Curtis, Mark Linkous&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/myspace.com\/manusonic\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\nBandcamp<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/gilhockman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Site officiel<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gilhockman\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-3138\" data-postid=\"3138\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-3138 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gil Hockman &#8211; Dolorous 2015- 11 titres Style : Post Folk Label : Autoprod Pays : Afrique du Sud Sortie : Janvier 2015 [star rating=\u00a0\u00bb4.5&Prime; max=\u00a0\u00bb5&Prime;] [hr color=\u00a0\u00bbred\u00a0\u00bb] Gil Hockman, songwriter, est originaire de Johanesbourg, en Afrique du Sud.
