Biography

Rhys Fulber is best known for his work with Delerium and Front Line Assembly, while also highly regarded for his production for the likes of Sarah Brightman, Josh Groban, P.O.D., and Mudvayne. After spending nearly two decades as a part of electronica's pioneering acts, Fulber emerged as Conjure One. Music has always been an integral part of his life. Born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Fulber was surrounded by instruments at an early age. His dad was a musician, and by age five, Fulber was playing drums. By 11, he was a punk rock kid buying Dead Kennedys records and learning the ways of the studio. Pete Shelley's synth-driven Homosapien release was the way to Fulber's heart; by 14, he'd received a drum machine and a keyboard as a gift from his father and his electronic musical visions were underway. Going by the moniker Conjure One in 1999, Fulber traveled around the world for a three-year period, absorbing all sorts of world music for an interesting electronic sound. Redemption marked Conjure One's proper debut in 2001. A year later, Fulber joined Sinéad O'Connor, Poe, and Israeli singer Chemda for a self-titled second album. Fulber himself would making his singing debut with a version of the Buzzcocks classic "I Believe" included on the 2005 album Extraordinary Ways. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide

Rhys Fulber

Conjure One is a Canadian electronic music project, headed by Rhys Fulber, better known as a member of Front Line Assembly and Delerium, as well as other musical groups alongside Bill Leeb.

History

Fulber left Front Line Assembly and thereby all other Leeb-associated projects in early 1997, in pursuit of a solo career. Soon after, a debut album was announced, though Fulber's work as a producer and remixer eventually pushed its release to September 2002.

The self-titled album was a fusion of the electronic characteristics of Fulber's previous work -- keyboard-based, with rhythmic dance beats -- and the influences of Middle Eastern music, which inspired ambient melodies more reminiscent of Delerium.

A number of songs were more pop-oriented and featured guest vocalists, primarily Poe and Chemda, the latter singing entirely in Arabic. Sinéad O'Connor and Jeff Martin of The Tea Party were also featured.

After returning to Front Line Assembly and Delerium, in 2005 Fulber released a second album entitled Extraordinary Ways. This album utilized much more contemporary sounds, including much greater prominence given to guitars and trip hop-like beats. Vocalists included Tiff Lacey, Poe (credited as "Jane"), Chemda, Joanna Stevens, and even Fulber himself (covering a song by the punk band Buzzcocks).

In 2007, Germany's biggest selling female pop star of the 80s Sandra Cretu covered "Sleep" (a remake by Conjure One, themselves) as a bonus track on her single "The Way I Am".

According to the Conjure One homepage a new album is on the works.
