In 1966, The Anon'd along with two other school bands (The Garden Wall and The Climax) appear during a charity concert at Charterhouse School. Together with the members of The Garden Wall The'd Anon some demos recording and a recording contract with Jonathan King would be signed. ==Genesis [  edit ] == Anthony Phillips founded in 1967 with Peter Gabriel , Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks group Genesis, in which he would play until 1970 and with which he made ​​two albums: From Genesis to Revelation ( 1969 ) and Trespass ( 1970 ).

However, he has shaped the sound and direction of the group in the seventies. The sound of two against each other in playing twelve string guitars, experimenting with classical music structures and the romantic drama in music were elements which Phillips took the lead and well into the seventies - and in the latter case even their entire career - part were part of the music of the group.

This in spite of his already vast oeuvre of albums of music that mainly goes to the edges of the doll. ==Solo <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">After leaving Genesis Phillips collapsed on to study music. He studied guitar, piano and composition. Almost immediately he begins to work on what would become a solo career, which you could describe as a career that moves between two great loves (pop and classical music) and the need to earn a living (writing music for film, television and music for pure user music libraries. ==Solo: pop music <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Although Phillips starts as said almost immediately to work after his departure from Genesis to its own work. Until not many concrete results in the beginning. Phillips experimenting with what keyboardist Harry Williamson and works well in a recording of Silver Song, a song he wrote when drummer John Silver in 1969 left Genesis. In 1973 Phillips dives with Genesis members Mike Rutherford and Phil Collins in the studio with the intention of including it as the first solo single by Phil Collins . Although these recordings are successfully concluded, the plan for unclear reasons and will not be put is the single published. Much later would declare that Phillips Silver Song was the only song he had ever written "definitely had become a hit."

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">It would take a good seven years in 1977 for Phillips' debut album The Geese And The Ghost would come from. It is a collaboration with Mike Rutherford, whose busy work schedule and almost spartan with Genesis is at once one of the reasons for the long delays suffered the album (recordings of The Geese And The Ghost began in 1974). The album contains a long drawn-out, delicate, acoustic-oriented music. Two songs were sung by Genesis drummer and vocalist Phil Collins and Anthony Phillips himself. The rest of the music is instrumental.

Phillips pop musician drowns in the violence of punk and lacks the profile to make it on his own. Added to that, partly due to the lack of response to his work, and the increasingly heavy demand from record company to come up with hit singles, loses interest in pop music. His latest pop album The Invisible Men Phillips made ​​mainly for the money and why he refers there even during the shooting as "mortgage my plate." ==Solo: Private Parts & Pieces <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">The seed for the salvation of his career and the direction that Phillips would eventually assume, is sown in 1978, as Private Parts & Pieces appears - the first part of a long, yet ever-continuing series of plates with mostly instrumental and a minimum instrumented music. The record contains home recordings of simple compositions on the twelve-string guitar, the classical guitar , the piano , as well as two songs. The series builds in the years surrounding these instruments, sometimes with the synthesizer as an addition (especially the beautiful Slow Waves, Soft Stars ( 1987 ), the seventh in the series). The plates find their own public that part of Genesis audience exists and build up Phillips' own surprise a reputation in the New Age -circruit. The preliminary final volume in the series is a double CD, the full acoustic Field Day, and appeared in2005 . ==Solo: other work <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Anthony Phillips takes out the Private Parts & Pieces series a number of other special plates, which with some imagination it can be considered as byways of that series. In 1981, appears 1984 (album), an instrumental rock album recorded almost entirely on synthesizer.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">In 1988 sees Tarka light, an orchestral piece that is the result of a collaboration with Harry Williamson and moreover was already composed in the seventies. Harry is not only a musician that Phillips then cooperates for about two decades, he is also the son of Henry Williamson, whose novel Tarka the Otter is filmed in 1979 . Phillips and Williamson show in their work the ideal soundtrack for that movie and succeed Tarka with the London Philharmonic Orchestra to record. However, they miscalculate in the presumed goodwill among the film producers and the film gets another soundtrack (composed by David Fanshawe ). The music and the recordings of Williamson and Phillips end up in a drawer, only to come back after ten years there and the music is finally completed and released.

The titles The Living Room Concert ( 1995 ) and Radio Clyde ( 2003 ) is a bit to see how it can: it's radio performances where Phillips 'live' plays for the radio microphone, without an audience. ==Solo: Applied music <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Al Phillips of free work is the most famous, business is seen for him the most important applied music, because music is his main source of income. Phillips made ​​music for several documentaries and other programs include the BBC and ITV, including many nature documentaries. A part of his so-called library music is also commercially available. Finger Painting ( 1989 ), Sail The World ( 1994 ) and Wildlife ( 2008, along withJoji Hirota ) are examples of albums on which Phillips' applied music has appeared. ==<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[Discography  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===With Genesis <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ===Private albums <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ===
