Having seen the video for the first time with a VR headset Richard enthused: “THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! Amazing that Miles (Skarin) has captured the movement and turbulence of planets, particles and matter that I was trying to reference in the music. It’s a totally immersive experience and, along with the artwork, another important addition to the album experience” Video by: Miles Skarin from Crystal Spotlight Lisen Rylander Love: Voices, Saxophone Luca Calabrese: Trumpet Kjell Severinsson: Drums Klas Assarsson: Vibraphone Richard Barbieri: Synthesisers, Fender Rhodes, Sampler, Electronic Percussion Programming Released on the 40th anniversary of the Japan’s first recording, the new studio album from the ex-Japan and Porcupine Tree keyboards maestro, ’Planets Persona’ is Richard Barbieri’s most sonically expansive work to date with an array of guest performers.
