Barrett's work encompasses both composition and improvisation, ranging from chamber music to innovative uses of live electronics. This Ancora+ re-issue, featuring his long-time collobarators ELISION, includes their live recording of 'codex I'.

“Extended by the more recent Codex I, which takes improvisational strategies to an extreme without abandoning its conceptual focus, this disc is a persuasive and also representative way into Barrett's music. The remastered sound, moreover, conveys more completely his concern to make the recording integral to the performance process rather than aiming for any unrealistic "live" perspective.”
Gramophone, September 2009
