Un primo piano colorato di Elena Iamonte, in arte Helen

L’arte italiana canta in francese. Intervista a Helen

Rate this post

La giovane artista valdostana taglia il traguardo del terzo disco in tre anni e fa il punto sulla sua carriera, basata su una formula musicale originale piena di stimoli internazionali

La valdostana Helen, al secolo Elena Iamonte, è una millennial piena di talento e passione.

Un talento affinato dagli studi di canto, lirico e moderno, e dalla pratica su vari strumenti, acustici (chitarra e flauto traverso) ed elettronici (il synth, il campionatore e la loop station).

Helen si cimenta al basso

Alla preparazione e all’impegno, si aggiungono nel suo caso altri due elementi importanti: la voglia di bruciare le tappe e un incontro artistico fortunato.

La prima è testimoniata dalla discografia: nel giro di tre anni ha pubblicato un singolo (Now I See, del 2018), un ep (Helen del 2019) e due album (Clouds e Aria, entrambi del 2020).

L’incontro galeotto è quello con Simone Momo Riva, polistrumentista geniale e patron della Tde ProductionZ, che ha guidato la giovane artista nei primi passi della carriera solista ed è coautore del recentissimo Aria. Partiamo proprio da questo ultimo album, in cui Helen si dimostra a suo agio nel cantato bilingue, cioè in inglese e francese, indice di una visione internazionale.

Aria, racconta la giovane polistrumentista, «è un disco che parla di libertà, sogni, sentimenti, diritti e amore e descrive a trecentosessanta gradi il mio mondo interiore».

Un primo piano sognante di Helen

Il tuo album è a dir poco originale, visto che sperimenti vari linguaggi artistici con una certa efficacia.

Mi sono divertita a spaziare dal mondo elettronico a quello acustico, ricercando ogni suono con cura, mescolando ritmi trap e sonorità pop. Ho cercato di mettermi alla prova stravolgendo gli arrangiamenti che ritenevo più scontati e banali per dare vita a qualcosa di unico e personale che rispondesse alle mie esigenze espressive.

Com’è nato il sodalizio con Momo Riva?

Ho conosciuto Momo Riva nel 2018, quando andata al TdE Studio con l’intenzione di registrare alcuni inediti. Lui è stato il primo a credere nelle mie canzoni e a valorizzarle. Voglio sottolineare il suo contributo ad Aria, in cui ha arrangiato, prodotto e suonato con me i brani, dandomi sempre ottimi consigli.

Un’altra tua peculiarità è il cantato in francese. Quali potenzialità ha l’uso di questa lingua, a dirla tutta non frequentissimo a livello internazionale?

Nel mio caso, è stata una scelta spontanea: la mia regione è francofona, perciò ho studiato il francese sin dalle elementari. Scrivere e cantare in francese mi consente di esprimere al meglio una parte della mia cultura e, quindi, della mia personalità.

Quindi hai senz’altro dei punti di riferimento nella scena artistica d’Oltralpe…

Per parlare dei miei modelli nel panorama musicale francese devo fare un salto indietro di circa 170 anni. Ho studiato per un breve periodo canto lirico al Conservatorio della Valle d’Aosta e questo mi ha permesso di avvicinarmi alle opere di Gabriel Fauré, che sono state per me una grande fonte di ispirazione. Tra gli artisti francesi conteporanei, citerei, in ordine cronologico, Serge GainsbourgCamille e Christine and the Queens.

Un’altra cosa che si apprezza nei tuoi lavori è il tuo talento di polistrumentista. In che modo hai sviluppato e curato questo approccio totale alla musica?

Ho iniziato da autodidatta sin dalla più tenera età. Ricordo che da adolescente mi fermavo sempre davanti ai negozi di musica ad ascoltare i musicisti di esperienza mentre provavano lo strumento da acquistare: li ammiravo molto e pensavo che non sarei mai riuscita a essere come loro. Tuttavia, col passare del tempo ho capito che i limiti erano soltanto nella mia testa e che dovevo abbattere queste barriere. Così ogni volta che sentivo la necessità di avere un nuovo strumento, mettevo da parte i soldi e andavo subito ad acquistarlo per studiarlo. Il mio approccio con ogni strumento è strettamente artistico: mi permette di trovare l’ispirazione per i miei brani e di potermi esprimere in modo molto personale.

E che ci dici, invece, del tuo rapporto con l’elettronica, l’audio editing e l’effettistica?

È più recente: ho visto all’opera Momo Riva e mi si è aperto un mondo. Mi sono innamorata del concetto di produzione e ho iniziato ad approfondirlo.

La copertina di Aria

Come stai vivendo, da artista e a livello personale, le difficoltà dovute all’attuale emergenza imposta dalla pandemia?

È un periodo di estrema difficoltà per tutti, soprattutto per noi artisti. Io ho cercato di non scoraggiarmi e di affrontare questa situazione negativa come uno stimolo per dare sfogo alla mia creatività. È stato un periodo in cui ho composto molto (la maggior parte dei brani di Aria sono nati durante il lockdown totale della scorsa primavera) e in cui ho lavorato molto anche sulla mia crescita musicale.

Quali sono i tuoi programmi per il futuro?

Il mio sogno più grande è poter vivere di musica e di arte. Per me creare è sempre stata una necessità che nasce dal profondo e lavorerò sodo ogni giorno per raggiungere i miei traguardi.

  1. As talked about above, this is where the triceps start to
    become a significant mover. Put Together for some critical pressing whereas following this powerlifting routine.

    Thanks to PRs on the Platform for sharing this program with Carry Vault through this system submission form.
    Below you’ll discover the six best full physique workout
    routines together with a link to a spreadsheet the place you possibly
    can obtain a private copy at no cost.
    Newbies will wish to give attention to working as
    a lot as the large three lifts, perfecting technique before progressing the loads.

    The goal of the squat is to unrack the bar, squat down till the hips are under
    the knees, and stand straight back up. Weightlifting and resistance training have been around
    for 1000’s of years as a method to create a stronger and extra capable body.

    Not all gyms are created equal—finding one that caters to
    powerlifters can make a world of distinction.
    You will need to wait 3 minutes between every set up to step 5 (90% est
    1-rep max) after which 5 minutes thereafter for
    all of those sets. In addition, the Bulgarian split squat is a superb
    quad and glute train in its own proper. In Addition To strengthening your
    quads, the entrance squat is another nice way to develop your power out of the hole.

    Use a weight that’s 10–20% lighter than traditional, and persist with a low rep
    vary. If you would possibly be having trouble with method, depth, or confidence in the squat, the pause squat is a
    should. The pause squat is an everyday again squat that you’ve
    added a pause to. Usually, and the finest way to do them
    typically, the pause is added within the backside place of the squat for a depend of two
    or three.
    That being stated, when you may have a deadline on which you should be at your strongest, there
    are a number of parts that need to be taken into consideration. The beauty of powerlifting is that
    every competitors is, initially, a contest against your self.
    It’s an accurate way to gauge how much you’ve improved
    for the rationale that previous competition and to see in case your coaching routine
    was really effective. Regardless of whether or not
    you place first or twelfth, if you don’t make progress out of your previous competition, something isn’t proper.

    Vertical pulling is among the our bodies major actions which should be included
    in any program for symmetry. Further, progressive overload for these movements will come from rising reps in the range given, after which including weight.
    You then increase the reps to the prime quality once more and
    add extra weight. To understand our powerlifter program, it’s important to first
    understand what powerlifting is.
    That’s something you’ll find in all one of the best powerlifting applications.
    There a a number of sport performance coaches who
    use the principles of powerlifting to get their athletes stronger and extra sturdy
    (important for contact sports). It’s also been proven that workout routines like the
    squat and deadlift can enhance leap efficiency. Beginning powerlifting
    requires you to know the basics in technique
    so that you just’re optimizing your max strength and decreasing
    the prospect of injury.
    Again, power is related to time so utilizing a lighter load that
    can be pushed sooner will generate a higher drive output.
    This exact load will differ barely for movements, nevertheless it lays someplace around 60-70%1RM.
    When adding the burden of the resistance bands to the whole load, you’ll wish to add the very
    best quantity. For example, if including the yellow resistance band to the total weight, you would add its max resistance of 35lbs by two, since
    you will use two bands. Therefore, when you add two yellow bands, you’ll have added 70lbs.
    Due To This Fact, it is smart to offer them a little additional attention.
    An athlete must choose the shape that feels most comfortable and permits for max force production. Moreover, decreasing the gap the bar must travel will permit more weight to be lifted, thus enhancing the deadlift and total of the athlete.
    The strength session is going to look similar to the squat power
    session, except you’ll be performing the bench press. Due To This Fact, the same rules are going to use as when the barbell hits your chest, you’ll pause
    for 1 second before pushing. Rip and Tear is a 12-week high-intensity strength coaching program designed for skilled
    lifters, specializing in the Squat, Bench, and Deadlift (SBD) workout routines.

    The program structure consists of three bench days, three squat days, and a pair of deadlift days per week, with elective accent and
    hypertrophy work left to the user’s discretion.

  2. This product doesn’t establish itself as a key competitor in the market and it
    is reliably unspectacular for anyone who isn’t in search of a pump-boosting supplement.
    It could be totally honest to put this product’s style within the common to above average range.
    We don’t need to sound important about it (as it’s good), but JYM’s personal range has set a high bar that this product simply doesn’t match into.

    500mg beetroot extract is an intriguing part of the product.
    The extract assists in the production of nitric oxide, thus enhancing blood move and endurance ranges.
    In The End, the listing of potential side effects,
    and a few of these ineffective ingredients for
    a pre-workout, have lowered Pre Jym’s general rating.

    They’re very related to each other, the only difference being the sort of protein powders and fats burners included.
    Sure, Alpha Jym can usually be considered safe as a end
    result of its 100 percent natural formulation. You should at all times
    seek the guidance of your doctor earlier than beginning a
    model new supplement, however from our view, we don’t see any purpose why it ought to be thought of unsafe.
    If you’re not significantly caffeine-sensitive or caffeine-avoidant — however
    quite just “stim-free curious” — there’s no purpose to select only one option and stick to it solely.
    Have both available so you probably can select the proper one on a case-by-case foundation.
    The decision between stimulant and stimulant-free pre-workouts is
    a private one, dependent on your physique’s chemistry, your daily routine, and the character
    of your exercises.
    Making up plenty of that 38g is Jym Complement Science’s Muscle Matrix elements with 4g of beta-alanine to drive efficiency, a gram of taurine, and
    3g of betaine. Like the original, Con-Cret creatine HCl is
    there as properly, although this time round, the dose has been raised by
    double, going from 2g up to 4g. Taurine – This
    is a vital muscle power element typically ignored by other pre exercises.
    Since then, the JYM model led by Dr. Stoppani has helped literally hundreds of thousands of
    everyday individuals – actual men and women, just like you.
    With a various product providing overlaying efficiency, restoration, fats loss, hormone help, well being, and overall wellness, there’s one
    thing for everyone in the JYM line. This is a fairly normal expertise – there are very
    few merchandise available on the market that don’t experience some solubility problems at
    this level. Again, what we see right here is a mean or above average
    experience and efficiency with the JYM supplements.

    Pre Jym X does certainly deliver Jim Stoppani and Jym Supplement Science’s hit pre-workout into the modern-day.
    Next to compare L-Citrulline(with 1.5 grams of Malic Acid) and Citrulline
    Malate. This is a really tough comparability and I am
    bond to incur some ire from one or another side right here.
    The overwhelming majority of the recommendations you discover is
    take Citrulline is take it with the Malate because it does confer benefits in the ATP manufacturing.

    Pre-JYM has 6 grams of Citrulline Malate whereas Pre V5 has 6 grams of L-Citrulline and 1.5
    grams of Malic Acid.
    Creatine brings more water into the muscle; nonetheless, creatine
    monohydrate can also lead to water retention under the pores and skin leading to
    a “puffy” look. Further, some people using monohydrates complain of stomach issues.
    The Creatine HCL in Pre JYM minimizes or eliminates
    these issues. When caffeine and L-Tyrosine are formulated with the
    mental focus elements, Huperzine and Alpha GPC, the result is
    a clear, steady, extended vitality with no jitters and no crash.
    We consider, nevertheless, an efficient
    pre-workout should deliver far larger advantages than energy alone.

    Need a healthy pre-workout supplement that contains the BCAAs you need?
    Here’s a selection that not only offers you with the mandatory amino acids but can be
    simple for the physique to soak up. This implies that it can improve the
    overall effectiveness of a product. There’s no negatives to having
    this in a complement, however it doesn’t improve key things like
    power or endurance.
    I also evaluation customer service in circumstances where I even have problems with the order.
    I even have high expectations for customer service
    and can harshly choose brands with lacking hyperlinks in their buyer experience.
    These pointers present minimal requirements that a producer must
    meet to make sure its merchandise are consistently excessive
    in quality. The absence of third-party testing doesn’t immediately imply a poor
    product. But figuring out the dishonest bullshitting happening in the complement trade, third-party testing gives
    me peace of mind figuring out a product is secure and has — and does
    — what it says on the box. Getting certified means an impartial organization has
    reviewed the product and determined it complies with safety, quality,
    and efficiency standards. After I conduct checks and write my pre-workout critiques, my commitment
    is to the truth, even when it ruffles a quantity of feathers.

    So except you weigh 10–15 kg, the 1,500 mg on this pre-workout isn’t going to do a lot for you.

    As for the tingles that you just may be conversant in, they are just a aspect impact of beta-alanine and
    don’t imply it’s “working.” But some lifters find
    it gets them going mentally. Earlier Than drilling into
    the details of why Pre JYM misses its mark by a mile,
    listed under are two higher options to keep away from wasting you the difficulty of studying this complete evaluate.
    The product itself is a testomony to how an professional at the helm doesn’t all the time lead to a fantastic,
    or even good, product. After two weeks of testing Pre JYM Pre-Workout, it’s
    onerous to advocate it to anyone.
