Richard Barbieri Biography

Richard Barbieri is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on November 30, 1957 in London, England, United Kingdom. Richard Barbieri (/ba:r/bi ‘e@r/i/; bahr/bee-AIR-ee), born 30 November 1957, is an English musician. He was an original member of the new wave band Japan, and their brief 1989-1991 reincarnation under Rain Tree Crow), but he is now best known for his role as the keyboard player in progressive rock band Porcupine Tree. He joined the band in 1993.

He began a long musical partnership with Steve Jansen, a Japanese colleague, in 1984. Six albums have been produced together under the name Jansen / Barbieri.

In late 1989, the members of Japan (minus guitarist Rob Dean) reunited under the name Rain Tree Crow to make new recordings for Virgin. This resulted in a single eponymous album which extended the work of late Japan and the solo/collective work of all four members, featuring a variety of influences from pop to art rock, jazz, ambient and world music. Other contributors to the album included Bill Nelson. Rain Tree Crow charted in 1991 in the UK Top 25 and brought critical acclaim.

The next work by Jansen, Barbieri and Karn was as the rhythm section for British art-pop band No-Man, who recruited them for a 1992 UK tour and for recordings which later appeared on the Loveblows & Lovecries album and on the “Painting Paradise” and “Sweetheart Raw” EPs (one of these EP pieces, the 20 -plus-minute “Heaven Taste”, later appeared on the album of the same name). This marked Barbieri’s first work with Steven Wilson, with whom he would then go on to work in Porcupine Tree.

Japan recorded five studio albums, culminating with Tin Drum, which remained in the UK Albums Chart for one year. They were one the most popular chart acts in Europe and Asia in 1982. After a year-long world tour, the band broke up in December 1982.
