As a side-project, in late 1999 she formed the space rock group Schema with members of Seattle-based band Hovercraft, and they issued their debut album, ''Schema'', on 19 September 2000. On 9 December 2002 Hansen was killed in a cycling accident when she was hit by a truck in London. She was 36 years old. ==Biography== Mary Therese Hansen was born on 1 November 1966 in Maryborough, north of the state capital, Brisbane.〔 Her father, Brendan Percival Hansen, OAM (21 August 1922 19 December 1999), was a unionist and Australian Labor Party parliamentarian – both federal (member for Wide Bay from 1961 to 1974) and state (member for Maryborough from 1977 to 1983); and her mother Moira Ann Hansen (née O'Sullivan), was a light opera singer and is contributor to the Maryborough arts community. Her parents are both descended from Irish families. Brendan's parents were Percy Hansen and Mary Ann (née Rowley). On 11 June 1960 Brendan and Moira married at St Mary's Catholic Church, Maryborough.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Member Biographical Details – Hansen, Mr Brendan Precival )〕 Mary Hansen was one of eight children, with her three brothers John, Tim and Jerry and her four sisters Jenny, Maureen, Susie and Kate. Hansen was trained by Moira and entered eisteddfodau, she left secondary school at age of 17 and worked in a bank.〔 By 1988 Hansen had moved to London and soon became a backing singer with the Essex-based indie band The Wolfhounds. She met guitarist Tim Gane when The Wolfhounds played alongside his indie pop band, McCarthy. Gane formed an alternative music group, Stereolab, in 1990 with Lætitia Sadier (ex-McCarthy). Hansen joined Stereolab as second vocalist and guitarist in 1992. She also contributed percussion, keyboards, and occasional lead vocals. As a member of that band, Hansen recorded six studio albums from ''Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements'' (August 1993) to ''Sound-Dust'' (August 2001).〔 Outside of her work with Stereolab, Hansen sang on records by Brokeback, The High Llamas, Moonshake, and Mouse on Mars.〔 She was a record producer for the London group Chicano. In late 1999, Hansen combined with Seattle-formed space rock group Hovercraft to form Schema. They performed both vocal and instrumental tracks, with Hansen also adding some synthesiser. An eponymous maxi-EP/mini-album was released on 19 September 2000 on avant-garde Kill Rock Stars imprint, 5 Rue Christine.〔 AllMusic's François Couture described their style as "space rock, psychedelic rock, ambient pop, and artsy avant-rock" with the feature track being "Echolalia... Curvilinear" with its "ethereal female vocals, lots of guitar noise, and a driving rhythm section". On 9 December 2002, Hansen was hit by a truck and killed while riding her bicycle in London. She was 36 years old. She had remained a member of Stereolab until her death. The band's subsequent release, ''Margerine Eclipse'' (2004) is part homage and part eulogy for Hansen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 ''Margerine Eclipse'' – Stereolab )〕 It was written by her bandmates Gane and Sadier.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) "> 'Feel and Triple' at APRA search engine )〕 In 2004, ''Hybird'', an EP of some of Hansen's music, was released posthumously. It also featured her artwork, contained three tracks which had been released in limited editions before her death, and a final track which was finished by Stereolab's Andy Ramsay. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mary Hansen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
