Conjure One – Zephyr by nettwerkmusicgroup

In the summer of 2009, Conjure One/Delerium mastermind Rhys Fulber reached out to see if Jaren was interested in singing on his upcoming solo album. Their collaboration is a melding of musical minds resulting in 3 standout tracks: ‘Like Ice’, ‘Zephyr’, and ‘The Distance’ (the latter two which Jaren also wrote). Jaren is eager for her trance fans to experience her voice in Rhys’ mesmerizing sound environment.  Exilarch is scheduled for an October 19th release on Nettwerk.

PRESS RELEASE

Rhys Fulber, the Canadian-born artist and producer behind Conjure One is set to release his third album, Exilarch, on November 9. The current single, “Like Ice,” features vocals by one of dance music’s most sought after voices, Jaren Cerf (Armin Van Buuren, John O’Callaghan, Matt Cerf). Listen below.

The album also features several other vocalists, including, Leah Randi (Pink, Abandoned Pools) – who also provides album support on bass guitar and backing vocals. Other guest appearances include keyboardist Jamie Muhoberac (John Mayer, The Rolling Stones, Dave Matthews Band, My Chemical Romance, Seal), and a performance by top UK string group, Wiredstrings on “I Dream In Colour” and “Ogilarch.”

As a member of industrial rock outfit, Front Line Assembly and later, Delerium, Fulber went on to sell a quarter of a million albums in the US and over a million units worldwide with the collaborative album, Karma. On Conjure One’s self-titled debut, two singles – “Tears From The Moon” and “Sleep” – placed #1 on the UK Club Chart and #3 on Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. Having worked with a diverse collection of artists – Josh Groban, P.O.D., Sarah Brightman, Mudvayne, Sinead O’Connor, Megadeth, Fear Factory – the multi-talented Fulber brings his expertise to his solo project. Exilarch (a reference to the Jewish leaders of the Babylonian exile) is a nomadic album that travels between light and dark, meticulously incorporating world-influenced instrumentals grounded with haunting vocals, lush textures and subtle electrobeats.

You can hear all of these wide-ranging influences and experiences throughout Exilarch:  The Groban-like beauty of the vocals on the lavish and soaring “Zephyr.” The marriage of plaintive lyrics and elegant soundscapes on the haunting “The Distance”… - Nettwerk Press Blog
