Delerium

Rhys Fulber joined forces with Bill Leeb, his former Front Line Assembly collaborator, to establish the Delerium project, which has yielded some of the most distinctive sonic textures to emerge from Vancouver, Canada. Leeb handled sample selection, lyric composition, bassline creation, sequencing, and overall supervision, while Fulber managed sampling and programming tasks and deployed chord and string pads to shape extra melodies and structural elements, yielding an electronic fusion infused with post-industrial attitude that drives dance energy.

Although Fulber first drew notice through participation in multiple cyberpunk and industrial groups, he pursued a more ambient dance direction within Delerium. The project achieved notable success through its 1997 album Karma, which moved more than a quarter of a million copies and featured the major club and dance hit "Silence," reaching number three in the United Kingdom, number one in Ireland, number four in Belgium, and number five in Australia.

Following the mid-'90s separation of Delerium's members, Fulber produced albums for P.O.D., Sarah Brightman, David Foster, and Fear Factory. The duo reconvened in 2001 to release Poem, with Chimera appearing two years later. In 2004 Nettwerk issued the 1994-2004 compilation Best Of. Their 2006 effort Nuages du Monde incorporated vocalists from around the world, including opera star Isabel Baryakdarian and Punjabi singer Kiran Arwuhalia. Music Box Opera from 2012 featured a fresh roster of vocalists, including Leona Naess, Kristy Thirsk, and Michael Logen. Fulber and Leeb have also recorded as Intermix and Noise Unit.
