Beat artist and writer Brian Barritt is renowned for his collaborations with Dr. Timothy Leary defining levels of expanded consciousness made accessible by psychedelics. He co-wrote Confessions of a Hope Fiend and was influential in the creation of the Kosmische Musik movement in Germany, regarded as the birth of electronic ambient music. He has spent the last decade researching the art, entoptics and acoustics of prehistoric Ireland.
Sadly, Brian passed away on 30 January 2011 after a brief battle with cancer.
