Temple Music

Started in 1995 as a side project of the English dark folk band ORCHIS and their interest in ancient Greek modal music, drone, magical trance states and krautrock. In 2004 the first Temple Music recordings were released (Volume One) via the Polish experimental label Shining Day. This was essentially a solo album by Alan Trench (World Serpent, Orchis, Twelve Thousand Days) after which Stephen Robinson (ex The Beloved) joined the band, which enabled live, semi-improvised performances to take place. These proved to be a phenomenon, varying between shifting walls of noise and moments of arctic intensity, sometimes unsettling but always demanding attention; rhythm and chaos combined.
