Combination Head

**Combination Head** is the solo electronic project of Richard Barbieri, best known as the keyboard wizard of art-rock legends Japan and later, Porcupine Tree. Born from Barbieri’s fascination with synth experimentation, the project emerged in the 1990s as a playground for brooding, atmospheric soundscapes and cerebral grooves. Tracks like "Museum" and "We Are Machine" showcase his knack for blending icy electronic textures with hypnotic rhythms, often reflecting themes of technology’s creep into human experience. While Barbieri’s primary focus remains collaborative bands, Combination Head serves as a moody, introspective counterpoint—a space where machines hum with personality and analog meets digital in shadowy corners. Perfect for fans of cerebral electronica that’s equal parts heady and haunting.
