Barry Lamb

Barry Lamb (born 9 May 1963 in South Shields, England) is an English experimental musician.

Barry Lamb is an English composer, author and musician. He was born in South Shields, he lived briefly in Leicester, Huncote & Tollesbury in his formative years before settling with his family in Holland-on-sea. He attended Clacton County High School where he first met his long time musical collaborator Peter Ashby. It was during his High School years that he formed Frenzid Melon with Ashby and they began experimenting with music inspired by the immediacy and DIY ethic of punk. Lamb also began making his own experimental music using simple tape manipulation techniques and they began to release their music on cassette. This marked the beginning of what has become known as cassette culture. During this period Ashby & Lamb founded Falling A Records. as one of the early cassette labels and later an independent record label. Falling A also opened a shop in Clacton on sea and acted as a distribution service for other cassette culture artists, labels and fanzines. They became one of the most connected limbs of the diy cassette movement. Lamb's solo career coexisted with his collaborations with Ashby. Most of his solo albums are avant-garde / electronic / industrial in nature. The album Dusk is perhaps his best-known solo work. During his most prolific period, Lamb had regular correspondence with fellow contemporaries Bryn Jones of Muslimgauze, members of Attrition, and the Third Mind record label. Much of this appeared to shape his thinking about music.
