ABOUT THE ARTIST

Originally from London England, David Barratt spent 14 years in New York as a music producer/writer for records, TV, film, commercials and fashion shows. His credits include David Bowie, Robert Plant, Revlon and The Sci Fi Channel securing one platinum and two gold records. His movie work includes Two Girls and a Guy, Forces Of Nature, Pretty Woman, Bedazzled and Sister Act.

He has also been DJ-ing the New York club circuit for years under the pseudonym "Yellow Note" releasing, "We're Not The Beatles", "Yellow Note Vs The Daleks" and "We Love Everybody.... You're Next!!!" and the critically acclaimed "Walking Down Memory Gap Lane" as Dubchek

In 2004 Barratt was invited by the United Nations to submit his work Karito (www.karito.org) for an installation in the General Assembly in New York. Karito is an audio sculpture made from the national anthems of the member states of the UN layered upon one another, projected simultaneously from multiple sound sources.

The random juxtaposition of the various themes creates a new infinitely long piece,the structure and tone of which are determined by the listener's relative position within the audio sculpture at any particular time.

Barratt moved to Bangkok in late 2005 and started work "Hungry Ghosts" a series of manipulated photographs printed on canvas describing the the dance between the ancient and the present.He has continued working on several other projects including Monsoon Season and Religious Works NYC - The Carpet
