Richard Barbieri remains one of contemporary music's most distinctive voices Emerging as a key architect of the late '70s/'80s synthesiser revolution with David Sylvian's art-rock ensemble Japan, his visionary synthesiser programming expanded the horizons of electronic music and left a lasting mark on artists from The Human League and Duran Duran to Gary Numan and Talk Talk. His subsequent and ongoing tenure with Steven Wilson's legendary progressive outfit Porcupine Tree across albums such as 'In Absentia' (2002), 'Fear of a Blank Planet' (2007) and most recently, 'Closure/Continuation' (2022) further affirmed his status as one of the most intuitive and unique musicians of his generation. 'Hauntings' is Barbieri's first studio album since 2021's 'Under a Spell', deepening the pensive, dark instrumental aesthetic of its predecessor. A diverse collection of immersive sound worlds, both dark and uplifting in equal measure, 'Hauntings' is influenced by a nostalgia for the past and future and for things that didn't happen yet still manage to haunt the mind and soul. What is real and what is simulation?
