Anthony Phillips is a British composer & guitarist who is known as a prolific writer of music for film and television as well as a recording artist.  He was a founding member of the band Genesis, with whom he recorded the albums From Genesis To Revelation and Trespass.

Ant’s debut solo album The Geese & The Ghost was released in 1977 and since then he has created an extensive output as a recording artist.  As well as album releases such as Wise After The Event, Slow Dance and Field Day, he has to date also released ten albums in the Private Parts & Pieces series and four volumes in the Missing Links series.  

Whilst Ant continues to release solo albums to critical acclaim, increasingly his music has been much in-demand for film and television both through commissioned works and the licensing of tracks from his extensive output of Production Music.  Commissions have included scores for the award-winning Survival series on ITV and the Natural World series on the BBC.  Ant’s music has also been featured on commercials, films and television series throughout the world including Saturday Night Live, Frasier, Oprah Winfrey, Panorama, Horizon and Coast.

2014 saw Ant renewing his association with Cherry Red Records via the Esoteric Recordings label who are re-issuing his back catalogue.  Harvest of the Heart, a five CD deluxe box set which celebrates Ant's rich musical heritage by featuring recordings made between 1969 and the present day was released in November 2014 to wide-spread acclaim.  Further releases include the Definitive Editions of The Geese & The Ghost, Wise After The Event, Sides, 1984 and Slow Dance which include 5.1 surround sound mixes of the album and boxed sets of the first eight albums in the Private Parts & Pieces series.

Guitar but not guitar; synthesizers but not keyboards – Darkroom’s music starts with improvisation and a distinctive approach to sound design, followed by disciplined editing and stop-motion studio craft. By turns beautiful and beautifully ugly, theirs is a very human music that always sounds ‘played’ not ‘programmed’, despite the technology that's essential for producing it.

Other musicians feature on certain tracks from our upcoming album but they aren't 'essential' members of the band. They are employed as session and guest musicians.
