Tarik Barri

Tarik Barri (Arnhem, 1978) is a Dutch audiovisual composer based in Berlin. He programmed his own audio-visual software Versum. In this 3d real-time virtual world, the artist creates audio-visual compositions.[1] Barri has collaborated with Radiohead, Atoms for Peace, Sote, Nicolas Jaar, Monolake and others. Since 2015 he has toured as part of a trio with Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich in a series of concerts featuring Yorke's Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes project. [2][3]

Biography

Barri was born in Arnhem, the Netherlands. He has lived in Saudi Arabia from 5 until 10.[4][5] After returning to the Netherlands he initially studied architecture, switched to psychology, and eventually graduated in Audio Design at the Utrecht School of the Arts, after John Peel played one of his songs on the radio.[6]

Versum

Barri programmed Versum as a tool to create music in 3d. The software is used to build immersive compositions of digital graphics. In 2011, in collaboration with artist Monolake, the software, originally intended to create 3D music, was first used as a purely visual tool to accompany the music. On stage, the visuals are created live, reflecting the skeleton and nuances of sound to and morphing to the music. For example, scenes flicker to a track’s pace, and images pulsate to the beat.[7]

Thom Yorke

Following Barri's video for Judge, Jury and Executioner by Atoms for Peace,[8] Yorke asked Barri to add visuals to their tour (together with Nigel Godrich).[9]

In 2018 Barri has collaborated with Thom Yorke on City Rats at the ISM Hexadome at Berlin’s Institute for Sound and Music, a 360-degree audiovisual composition consisting of warped images on six screens with the sound spread over 54 speakers.[10]

In June 2019 Thom Yorke announced the trio will be touring North America to promote his new album Anima.[3] As part of the tour, the trio performed live on the Jimmy Kimmel show.[11] In October it was announced the tour will be extended into 2020.[12]
