Barry Cleveland
At age ten, Barry altered his career trajectory from would-be astronomer to musician, convinced that he would impress more girls as a rock guitarist than as a scientist. Since then, Barry has released several critically acclaimed albums, performed and recorded with the improvisational quintet Cloud Chamber, and authored the book Creative Music Production: Joe Meek’s Bold Techniques. The ever-prolific editor recently released two new albums, Volcano and Memory & Imagination [Supersaturated], and is currently at work on a new one, this time writing lyrics as well as music.
