Chance Meeting
Friday December 9th, 2022 with Heavy Ben
Geoff Barrow (Portishead, Beak>, Anika, sci-fi soundtracks)

Chance Meeting on black mirror of a dead man and a tape operator Happy birthday to drummer, DJ, and producer Geoff Barrow, from the small town of Portishead, UK. "I just wanted to make interesting music, proper songs with a proper life span and a decent place in people's record collections." Mission accomplished. The short film "To Kill A Dead Man" was Portishead's debut from 1994, prior to their first LP "Dummy", whose album cover is a still from this film. https://youtu.be/p4C0KHsR8Wg

It was a trip when this Horrors album came out. Going from theatrical horror punk to krautrock/shoegaze worked out better than expected. Presumably Geoff Barrow helped.
