Anamorphose started in 1982 when François Dumont d'Ayot met Olivier Lamorthe after a standard jazz concert on which he played on. They decided to try and play something more creative with an emphasis on unconventional time signatures. Their first incarnation was Olivier Lamorthe on keys, François Dumont d'Ayot on saxophone and flute, Philippe Villiot on violin (coming from irish and greek folk music), a self made drummer they called "Sherpa" who disappeared from the music scene very early and a female bass player called Odile Eschenbrenner who also left pretty early on. The second incarnation was Eric Bailles on bass, who played with the band alternately along with Nathanael Veryat (who appeared on their only album) and finally Christophe Torion on drums. In 30/10/1986 they have recorded their only album live, it was mixed at Studio Dagobert on the 14th and 15th November and issued in December that year. In 1988 Philippe Villiot left, and the band continued as a quartet for a few years before teaming up with guitar player Eric Minen. Anamorphose made some other recordings in a more professional way but those were never released. In 1997 the band came to full stop.
