Barry Pyramid was born Barvik de Pyramiden on the 14th March 1972 at grid reference 78°38-16°20 in a warehouse on the edge of Pyramiden; a Russian settlement and coal mining community on the island of Spitzbergen at the foot of a pyramid shaped mountain which was believed by Lenin to possess mystical energy.

Soviet scientists theorised that this energy was transmitted by a mysterious particle known as the zagadkon or Z-particle. In the 1950s a research base was constructed deep underground to measure these Z-rays. Some believed that the energy was created by the interaction between pyramids and space -time geometry while others believed that they were the result of left over alien technology.

Spitzbergen offered little in the way of lifestyle choice, the only entertainment being antifreeze and low grade pornography. A typical Saturday nights entertainment was to drink several pints of photocopier fluid shandy and then wander into the wilderness to gun down polar bears with automatic weapons.

While Barry grew up he was tutored by some of the finest minds in the Soviet Union and developed a fascination in sonic topology. For his PhD thesis Barry wrote a revolutionary paper theorising the existence of extra dimensional musical notes such as A³ or D[E[F]].

This research eventually came to the attention of Lee Cabinet during 2003 while convalescing after a car crash. Cabinet was looking for a radical new sound for his new Mothership album and believed the answer lied in mathematics. Pyramid was invited to play guitar on the final Kettlecup Corp album Kettlecup Undead, appeared in the Library Mix video and was given a flat in Wythenshawe and a workstation.

Three months later Barry Pyramid emerged with a new milestone in cultural evolution...I Pyramid.
