Born in Holland and currently based in Berlin, Barri started programming and making electronic music at a young age. After releasing his first track as a university student in biological psychology, he transferred to the Utrecht School of the Arts to pursue a degree in audio design. There, he began exploring the ways in which music-making technologies could be applied in the creation of moving images. Today, Barri uses tools like Max/MSP, Java, and Supercollider to develop software for audiovisual performance and composition, searching for new synergies and aesthetics in the combination of image and sound.

Barri has performed and displayed works at DEMF, Sonic Acts, Ars Electronica, CTM Festival, TodaysArt, Berlin Atonal, MIT Media Lab and EMPAC. He has also served as a guest lecturer at Berklee College of Music (Boston), CCRMA (San Francisco), and Universität der Künste (Berlin).
