Phasma+ (PhasmaPlus) were created in 2004 by composer Ioannis Varelidis. Their first album which has been released in April of 2005, by Plus Rec and Universal Music under the title “os tin ali meria”(to the other side), is the combination of Pop & Rock sound with elements of electro.
Ioannis Varelidis is the main constructor of this project as he is the composer, lyricist and orchestrator for 10 of the 11 songs.
Special contribution and help in the 4th track (music and orchestration), was offered by Theo Finidis.
Also the producer of the record, Haris Proios, has helped for the final form of other two songs(1st and 2nd track). Finally, the lyrics in track 8 belong to George Lizos. Miss Stella Pharmaki is the voice of the band since April 2006. A few months ago, the new project of the band and hopefully in a short time we will have the opportunity to hear the new album, which is, I must say, a work completely altered from the first and even more progressive.
So, looking forward…..
At the present the band members are:
Stella Pharmaki – Vocals/
Ioannis Varelidis – lyrics, composition and Keyboards, Percussions, vocs/
Anthony Velios – samples and vocs/
Panos Vassilopoulos – Guitars/
Stelios Theologis – Bass/
Thomas Arvanitis – Drums.
In the new album the orchestration is attended by composer Theo Finidis under the oversight of Ioannis Varelidis.
A small sample of this new work shows even to the most unskilled ear the lump of each piece and the hard work that it is carried behind, not only mentally or creatively but even practically thinking of the fact that many times the songs or even electronic equipment had to travel between two countries (Austria and Greece), through mail, airports and roads till each song was completed.
It may sound strange because I m not offering spicy detail of this lunatic story but I promise I will explain everything in the near future.
