Swiss Singer and Songwriter

Nancy Berie alias Naberie

Pop Goddess of the Big Bang

Preface:

Unfortunately, we live in a time where title and bragging are the most important things. The Sheila E (Ex Prince Drummer) calls herself "Queen of Percussion". Another Grandma who does drum covers on YouTube is called "Godmother of Drums". Jürgen Drews is the "King of Mallorca". And so it goes on forever. "Masters of Art" come from the universities of the world, but when you look at your performances or work, most of it is just "hot air".

 

And me? Yes, I have the "Master of Arts" Degree, but don't believe in it at all. I am not a Queen, not a Mother, not a God. I call Myself "Pop Goddess of the Big Bang". From the Big Bang? "Big Bang" I and we all came into. Being and a Pop Goddess?. Yes that is my Answer to this Big-Mouthed Society and Certainly not Conceited.

Considering that not Only the Drums, Music, Vocals, Synthesizers, Vocoders, Arpeggiators and the Lyrics. I also designed all Homepages, Pages and Media with Graphics, Logos and Avatars. I also Shoot all of the Video Films by Nancy Berie, Taess Bright and the Pink Tittis and use Modern Software on the Mac to Edit them Into Artistic Video Clips for Youtube and Co. I am a Drummer, Percussionist, Xylosynthesist, Singer, Songwriter, Producer, Actress and Screen Writer. These are not just "Titles" but the Effects of my Creative Causes.

 

The Naberie Logo is a Hexagon, Polygon or also Called a Polygon. Why? 1. Because it is the most stable Corner Shape in connection with the Largest possible Area in Physics. And 2. because the most Innovative, Ddistinctive, famous and most widely used Drum Sounds in the World were Produced in Hexagon form by an E-Drum called Simmons. The Unique Sound was used in every Genre of Music and not even the metallers, Schlager or classical Music lovers could keep their Hands off it. The Biggest and most Famous Hits have been Produced with it and it is Simply the most Beautiful Drum ever Made on the Planet. The Shape is Reminiscent of the Sweetness of the Honeycomb, the Coldness of the Crystalline Forms in Nature or the High-Tech Gene Structure. A Hexagon has Six Corners and is more Diverse than a Square and or more stable than a Triangle. For me, Diversity is the most Important Word because it Describes that nothing alone is Important, but only overcomes through as many Variants, hurdles and Problems as possible, but Goals and successes can be achieved. I was and always want to be diverse. Let us always be diverse, and thank the Universe for everyone who is a Tittle different from the previous One.

Vorwort:

Leider leben wir in einer Zeit wo Titel und Prahlerei das Wichtigste sind. Die Sheila E (Ex Prince Drummerin) nennt sich "Queen of Percussion". Eine andere Oma die Drum Covers auf YouTube macht nennt sich "Godmother of Drums". Jürgen Drews ist der "König von Mallorca". Und so geht das Endlos weiter. Von den Unis dieser Welt kommen "Master's of Art's" also "Meister der Kunst", aber wenn man sich Ihre Darbietungen oder Arbeiten anschaut ist leider das Meiste nur "heisse Luft", also "Hot Air".

 

Ja und ich? Ich habe vor vielen Jahren den "Master of Arts" Abschluss an einer Uni in den USA absolviert, aber halte von dem "Titel" allein überhaupt nichts. Nicht der Titel zählt sondern was damit erschaffen wird. Ich bin keine Queen, keine Mother und auch kein God. Ich nenne mich einfach Pop Goddess of the Big Bang. Aus dem Urknall "Big Bang" sind wir alle ja entstanden und eine Pop Göttin?. ja das ist halt meine Antwort auf diese Grossschnauzen-Gesellschaft und sicher nicht eingebildet. "Wenn so viele andere..., ja dann muss ich aber unbedingt auch" das ist mein Motto dazu.

In anbetracht dass nicht nur die Drums, Musik, Gesang, Synthesizer-Sounds, Vocooder, Arpeggiatoren, die Texte unserer Songs, sondern auch die Gestaltung aller Homepages, Seiten und Medien mit Grafiken, Logos und Avataren von mir stammen. Ich drehe alle Video Filme von Nancy Berie, Taess Bright und den Pink Tittis und schneide sie mit moderner Software am Mac zu künstlerischen Video-Clips für Youtube und Co zusammen. Ich bin Drummerin, Percussionistin, Xylosynthesistin, Singer, Songwriterin, Producerin, Actress und Screen Writerin. Das sind nicht nur einfach "Titel" sondern wiederspiegelt die Vielseitigkeit meiner kreativen arbeiten.

 

Das Logo von Naberie ist ein Hexagon, Polygon oder auch Vieleck genannt. Warum? 1. weil es die stabilste Eckform im Zusammenhang mit der möglichst grössten Fläche in der Physik ist. Und 2. weil die innovativsten, markantesten, berühmtesten und meist benutztesten Drum Sounds der Welt von einem E-Drum namens Simmons in Hexagon Form produziert wurden. Der einzigartige Sound wurde in wirklich jeder Musikrichtung verwendet und nicht mal die Metaller, Schlager oder Klassikliebhaber konnten die Finger davon lassen. Die grössten und bekanntesten Hits wurden damit produziert und es ist einfach das schönste Drum das je auf dem Planeten hergestellt wurde. Die Form erinnert an die Süsse der Bienenwaben, an die Kälte der  Kristallinen Formen in der Natur oder an die Hightech Genstruktur. Ein Hexagon hat sechs Ecken und ist vielfältiger als ein Quadrat und oder stabiler als ein Dreieck. Vielfalt ist für mich das wichtigste Wort überhaubt, den es beschreibt das nichts allein Wichtig ist sondern erst durch möglichst viele Varianten, Hürden und Probleme überwindet aber Ziele und Erfolge erreicht werden können. Ich war und will immer Vielfältig sein. Lasst uns immer Vielfältig sein, und dankt dem Universum für jeden der ein bisschen anders ist als der vorherige.

My Name is Nancy Berie, I’m a Woman Drummer, Percussionist, Xylosynthist, Synthesist, Keyboarder and Singer for Session and Recording Acts. I also Work as an Songwriter, Actress, Writer, Producer by Swiss Pop Records, and Music Teacher by Teass Bright Musicscool. Together with Taess Bright I form the Music Pop-Duo "Synthewomia" where I Perform as "Naberie" on Drums and Synthesizers and Sing to them. Together with Taess Bright I Compose, Write and Produce all Songs.

 

I like good Music and that's why I Present the most Popular Pop and Rock Hits of the 80s on my Youtube Channel "Naberie Drum" and I'm a Member of the Synthewomia and the Musicart Partner of Taess Bright.

 

All Kinds of good Music. What is good Music? But, for me, it's the Music from the 80s. And I have to Confess that I’m not a Metal Chick. I like some Metal Bands but not all of them. I Enjoy all Kinds of different Musical Styles. Many Guys see my Drum Covers and they ask me to Cover all those Speed Metal Thrash Bands. I recognize the Speed of all those drummers but that’s not for Me. Sorry Guys!

 

I was born in Switzerland, back in 70's. Most likely because Los Endos is one of my Favorite Tracks by Genesis and because Phil Collins is one of my Favorite Drummers. The Harmony between Chester Thompson and Phil Collins fascinated me from the beginning. I have never again seen two Drummers have played such energetic Drum Duets.

 

At that time (1980) I started Drumming. I was fascinated by the Drums as a Kid. I Made my first Steps and Preparations for Studying Music at the Jazz College of Music Lucerne. I also graduated with a Master of Arts Music Pedagogy / Recording & Studio Production / from California State University, Long Beach's Bob Cole Conservatory of Music. Over the years, I have made Many Recordings, Live and in Studios. I can read Drum or Keyboard Parts and Love to improvise a Gig with just a nod and a wink.

 

What is possible?

If you believe. If you want. When you fight. If man gets help. Then many things are possible.

Ex-professional Drummer. After an accident, many Surgeries, many Hours of Rehabilitation and at Home, I started to learn Drums Again. All Over. Just as I learned it as a Child. Again with 45 years. Yes, I do not Play this anymore

Quality from back then. But I am satisfied. Not everyone started playing the drums twice in his life. It goes on! I am back! Only that coup

its. I keep practicing and I will get better. That is my Goal. Thank you all who believed in me. I thank all those who Supported me. Trained with me and Made me fit again. The Doctors, nurses, Physiotherapists, my Family Doctor, my Friends, Acquaintances, by Band, and finally my dearest and greatest Support without them, that everything would never have been possible, Taess. Thank You.

Live Performing or Studio Production

I have learned to Read Drum or Guitar Parts and Love Improvising a Gig with just a nod and a Wink.

 

I am Available for Session Work in the Studio or to Play Live. Depending on the Project, I may be able to Compose Parts for Songs Submitted to Me Online.

 

As a Session Musician, My Goal is to Fulfil the needs of Your individual Project. Whether I am needed to Learn a Part Note-For-Note or Submit something more Creative, I respond with Professionalism and Enthusiasm. And as Music depends on Relationships between Performers, a Key Part of my Approach is maintaining a Positive and Respectful Attitude to fellow Musicians.

 

I Pride Myself on My Versatility – whatever the Style of Music, I Call on My knowledge of that Area to Execute the Parts Required.

For all Your Session needs, Contact Me for Rates and Current Availability.

Recording with or without CC Claims

Drum Recording Support is a huge Part of My Job. Absolutely Precise Playing with Feeling and Professionalism are what Set me Apart. Whether with E-Drums, Hybrid or Classic Acoustic Sets, I can Play everything for You. Percussion, Xylophones and Xylosynths are also a nice Change. in some Productions it is desired that the Recording Track of the Recorded Instruments remains Secret and is not mentioned in the Clock Lifter. I offer the NoCC Contract Variant precisely for such situations.

I can be booked for Contractual Participation as well as for "NoCC" Contract Support this is without my Watch Copyright Participation. With this type of Contract, I also waive all Copyright and Watch Lifter claims and demand a significantly larger Recording Fee. The Prices for Recording Seasons are always negotiated Personally and vary depending on the Act-Profile
