about

Sam Barker - Reflections on Wiretap | Detroit 2016 -> Berlin 2025

Wiretap began on an extended visit to Detroit back in 2016. The project is about transformation, and finding hidden potential in the built environment. In practice, it combines mechanical music with aspects of field recording, and urban artforms like graffiti.

I worked on this with Raphael Merriweathers, aka Ray7, who is a percussionist, producer, and DJ for Underground Resistance. With the help of Justin Moncrieff and Tom Linder, we snuck into abandoned factories around the city and made music from whatever we found, using the solenoid percussion setup I’d been developing to build makeshift instruments and write music for them, bringing the factories back to life with a different purpose.

In 2019 Ray had a severe stroke which left him in a coma for six months. He was lucky to survive, and since then he’s been making incredible progress, with the support of good humans like Angie Linder and Cornelius Harris.

Barker & Ray7 - Wiretap #1 is available now on the Leisure System Bandcamp, and all proceeds will be divided between Ray and the Underground Music Academy.
