Weave is the project of me Barry Leake using a combination of computer and various instruments.In the last year i've been really getting into frame drums,which will be incorporated into my new tracks. I've got an album and a 3" ep out on cactus island records, and a track on their 'brittle behaviour' compilation lp. I also have a track on symbolic interactions 'the silence was warm' compilation lp.
Previous collaborations include working with Tui ( orla wren, flung, skin of the tree ) and Phillip White ( helictite and occasional performer with faust ). I am currently collaborating with Gina Berrett ( 11x ) and Leigh Toro ( flotel )
I also do some photography and some artworks which are produced by a (possibly unique) photographic method; examples of which can be seen in my slideshows and pics section and prints of these can be bought here:

This Friday (22nd), we welcome a true heavyweight of the house and techno scene to Ward10, Andrew Weatherall. Having not played in the area for a good couple of years this gives anyone with even a hint of interest in house and techno a chance to check out a pioneer who is, with residencies at Fabric (London) and Back to Basics (Leeds) to testify, a world class DJ.
With Those That Know supplying the soul, funk, deep house and hip hop in Room 2, we think it's the perfect way to get the Bank Holiday weekend session started.
And remember, just £8 on the door before midnight.
It's our SMF monthly meeting next Wednesday 14th Jan at the City Library on Fawcett St at 6pm. Please try and make it along and share your thoughts, ideas or queries about Music in Sunderland.
After the meeting, there is a free showcase gig at The White Room featuring Absorb, Your New Escape Plan, Saint and The Cynics, plus Dead Miles. It's free entry and starts at 7pm.
Minutes to previous meetings are now online along with our Constitution and a list of Committee members and all forum members. Check out our Blog for details.
