What is "schizophonic"

Schizophonic (stylised as Schizö-phonic) is the debut studio album by pop singer Geri Halliwell. The album was released after her split from popular girl group the Spice Girls. The term schizophonic is a portmanteau of the Greek words schizo ("split", "divide") and phonic ("sound"), and also seemingly a play on the word " schizophrenic" and the musical term " schizophonia".

It produced four singles, all of which saw commercial success in the UK—" Mi Chico Latino", " Lift Me Up" and " Bag It Up" reached number one, while the first single " Look at Me" peaked at number two. As of 2010 the album had sold 3 million copies worldwide. Most reviews for the album were positive to mixed.

• Schizophonic (band)
• "Schizophonic", a 1994 song by The Wildhearts from the album Fishing for Luckies
• Schizophonic (Robben Ford album)

Schizophonic is the 1997 debut solo album from guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, the lead guitarist in the band Extreme. Bettencourt is credited on the cover simply as "Nuno". Schizophonic is Bettencourt's first and, so far, only solo effort after the group disbanded.

Schizophonic is the fifth album by music producer Geoff Wilkinson's jazz/ rap fusion project Us3. It features a more upbeat approach than most of the tracks from previous albums by Us3, and - like on the previous 2004 album Questions - no samples but live recordings were used in its production. Wilkinson's liking for Southern American rhythms, which had pushed the 2001 release An Ordinary Day in an Unusual Place into a new direction can still be traced. The album features two new rappers, Akil Dasan and Gaston, both of whom Geoff found at New York City's Nuyorican Poets Café. While Akil's prominent features exhibit a quick and crisp delivery, Gaston has more of an old school approach. The live band consists of Chris Storr ( trumpet), Ed Jones ( saxophone), Neville Malcolm ( double bass), Ernie Cranenburgh ( jazz guitar), pianists Mike Gorman, Sean Hargreaves and John Crawford, as well as turntablist DJ First Rate. Schizophonic was first released in 2006.

Schizophonic, based in Nanaimo, British Columbia, is a nine piece band playing a mix of genres from rock, to jazz. Formed in late 2010 by students of Vancouver Island University, the group play mostly original songs, many written by band leader Troy Lucas.

Schizophonic is a jazz album by Robben Ford, released in 1976. The album title refers to Robben Ford's interest in playing two instruments. He began playing saxophone at the age of ten, but at thirteen he heard blues guitarist Mike Bloomfield. The music is a mix between different styles in the jazz. From Blues in the first track, alongside Latin to more Jazz fusion as known from his later album The Inside Story. On the first track and the last track Robben Ford plays the saxophone.
