After 6 months touring the world with Porcupine Tree, playing their current album "Fear of a blank planet", synthesist and keyboard player Richard Barbieri stopped for a chat with Thomas Wendt at the Docks Club, Hamburg at the end of Nov. 2007.
During the soundcheck, he told us about the tour, his keyboard rig, using Reason instruments alongside hardware synths, the past and the future.
We'd also like to congratulate them for their Grammy nomination:
"Fear of a Blank Planet", for "Best Surround Sound Album". The full list of nominees is available on the official Grammy website.
