BIO
:
Gloriphon were formed in October 2003
in Athens
by
two members from Alternative Subway and subway.
Originally as a duet , Gloriphon started
experimenting and improvising using guitars,
drums, metallophone and pre-recorded samples
(which were inspired by literature , poetry ,
films and generic sounds). In May 2003 Gloriphon
welcome a pianist , as a third member , while in
2005 the band after adding a second guitarist
and a temporary orbiting bassist , started
experimenting with some vocals.
Inspired by the 60's psychedelic rock,
post-rock, and abstract electronic music , they
manage to create an ambient soundtrack
atmosphere with their instrumental (at most
part) compositions. Their live appearances are
usually accompanied by visual projections ;
dreamy images, photostories, scenery, ready to
travel and haunt the souls of the audience.
They have appeared in many live events in Athens
, participating in the experimental festival
"MOUSIKO PSIFIDOTO" (organized by small music
theater and Thision theatre) , Indie Free
festival 2004 , Fragma Kalohoriou Festival at
Thessaloniki (with 9 other bands) , 2nd Ipeon
Rock Festival ( which left the band with very bad
impressions) at Samos Island with bands like Raining
Pleasure and Blues bug . Their most important
live came when they got to open for The
Earthbound at Gagarin 205 music space in
April 2005.
They completed a demo-cd in 2003 entitled 'a
silent spring' and have already recorded their new material during September 2005
.
