About Symbiosis...
Symbiosis was formed in 1987 around the trio of Clive Williamson, Richard Bolton and John Hackett. Their first two albums, Tears of the Moon and Song of the Peach Tree Spring were released in 1988. Tears of the Moon demonstrates two facets of their work: one side being ambient and gently relaxing; the other being highly atmospheric, conjuring up intriguing images of distant worlds. Since then, the group has gone on to record a total of ten albums including Touching the Clouds and Amber & Jade (written specially for deep relaxation and for use in complementary therapies), and have also created music for four albums of guided visualisations by Denise Linn: Angels! Angels! Angels!, Dreams, Phoenix Rising and Secrets & Mysteries; and her video Creating Sacred Space. The group has provided signature tunes and incidental music for many TV and radio productions, including Paradise Gardens (BBC2); Techno (BBC Schools) and A Family Learn Spanish (Radio 5).
Clive Williamson sings, plays flutes, keyboard and wind synthesizers and percussion. He is the driving force behind Symbiosis and produces all their albums, creating a sensitive fusion of natural sounds and new technology. Clive has also travelled in New Zealand and Australia, making recordings for three albums of Sound Effects for the BBC and the Symbiosis release AOTEAROA - Nature Sounds of New Zealand. Guest Musicians with the group include: Ashley Drees (cittern, mandolin & percussion); Michèle Drees (percussion); Sarah Devonald (oboe & cor anglais); Rupert Flindt (fretless bass); Maloviere (violin & tsimbala); Nicki Paxman (violin and keyboards); Ian Ritchie (soprano saxophone) and Emily Sinclair who played flute and sang with Symbiosis until 1997. She appears on Lake of Dreams, Amber and Jade and Autumn Days and performed live with the group at the Open Centre in New York and at several Mind-Body-Spirit Festivals in London and Sydney.
