Robert Perry grew up in New Zealand, England and Ireland and spent the last three years in Spain, where he has been gathering ideas for a future solo record. He has worked with Dead Can Dance since 1987 and is currently working with Kila, an Irish traditional group from Dublin.
He now lives in County Cavan, where he produces flutes, drums and percussive instruments in his workshop resulting in hybrids from designs found during travels through South America, Spain, and Ireland.
