“''The feeling of time passed is something that transcends through their music.''” Noisey Though five years have passed since Phoria’s debut release in 2010, time in their world is a fluid concept. The trio at the core of this Brighton quintet, Trewin Howard (vocals/production), Jeb Hardwick (guitar, visuals), Ed Sanderson (keyboard, vocals) were actually classmates in primary school – they were learning classical guitar, cello and violin and then time made a concertina flex and out of it they grew to be applied technicians in a self-created sonic laboratory named Phoria and were joined by Tim Douglas (bass, synth) and Seryn Burden (drums). A trio of EPs ensued coming almost annually, kicking off in 2010 with Phoria’s first, ‘''Yourself Still''’. It showcased the band’s prowess for cinematic, orchestral post-rock. Next came ‘''Bloodworks''’ which showed a departure in style and with lead track ‘''Red''’ hitting no.2 on Hype Machine the band cemented their reputation for expansive, visually evocative sound-scapes. A year after that was their third EP ‘''Display''’; it was 6 Music Record of the Week and clocked up nearly half a million plays within two weeks and invitations to perform their video and interactive live experience at arts festivals throughout 2015.〔https://soundcloud.com/phoriamusic/emanate〕〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2my_DFCdpE〕 == Biography == Phoria's origins can be traced to around 1997 when Trewin and Ed started learning cello and violin together at their primary school in Salisbury, a talent that would later lead them to perform in orchestras across the county. At the same time, classmate Jeb Hardwick was taking lessons in classical guitar. When Trewin picked up the guitar and Ed began to play piano, the three of them began their first creative endeavours together. Regular performances and songwriting sessions continued for several years, but the young musicians soon separated for university. Jeb and Ed both attended the University of Southampton. Ed continued to study music for his degree, specialising in violin and piano. Jeb began a sociology degree, spending much of his spare time experimenting with music software and visual arts, while continuing to play guitar. Trewin attended the performing arts college at Dartington in Devon, where he started a fine art course before being drawn back to music. His lack of willingness to stick to the curriculum meant that he left without a degree, but was instead armed with over 200 compositions and songs ready to be brought to life, along with an individual voice and the confidence to use it. When Trewin, Ed, and Jeb were re-united in 2009, they set out to complete the band line-up. Jeb and Ed had wasted many late nights in the company of a guitarist named Tim Douglas whilst in Southampton. After spells in several bands around the South-West, Tim was keen to move to the vibrant city of Brighton along with his old friends and turn his talents to bass. Phoria drummer Seryn Burden joined the band in August 2011, having honed his skills at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music. He played his debut performance at the Playgroup Festival in Kent in the same month. Seryn replaced drummer Ross Crick who left the band in June 2011. 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「Phoria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
