barry weisblat was born in brooklyn in 1975 and remains one of the unsung heroes of deep and investigative sound. thought. beyond a long-running commitment to participating in the underground's underground of improvisation and a dynamic sense of musical conversation, Weisblat has extended his reach and pool of knowledge beyond rubbing the surface of the black box of sound to designing and implementing his own systems. translating light into sound, sound into action, action into thought, and thought into light, weisblat's ceaseless curiosity and simultaneous obsessive desire to participate and join in dialogue has pushed his output farther out than most people can see or conceive of. some collaborations include work with michael bernstein, margarida garcia, andrew lafkas, toshio kajiwara, matt valentine, theo angell, otomo yoshide, mattin, tim barnes, greg pope, toshi nakamura, sean meehan, dion workman.
