He formed the instrumental group, Tuatara, with Peter Buck and has worked on over 200 albums as a producer and session musician, playing on albums for R.E.M., Queens Of The Stone Age, Brazilian superstar Nando Reis, and various singer-songwriters.

Drink The Sea began in 2022, when Alain and Barrett jammed at Barrett’s studio in Olympia, WA just to see what kind of magic they could conjure together. Two years later, they continued their duet together in England and Iceland, before recording additional songs in Reykjavik. After that, Barrett, Duke, and Peter met in Sao Paulo to record more songs, which continued with Alain joining them in Joshua Tree, and then some additional recording at Alain’s studio in Santiago, Chile. Final production happened at Barrett’s studio in Olympia, WA, and mixing took place in Barcelona, Spain. The two debut albums that resulted from this were literally recorded around the world.

On their debut albums as Drink The Sea, the volumes are produced and mixed by Barrett and Alain, but each of the members vast experience as songwriters, arrangers, and musicians contributes to the broad music influence that permeates the music, because they each play dozens of instruments: traditional guitars, bass, and drums configurations, the ancient instruments and sounds of Arabia, oud, and qanoon, Andean instruments such as charango, ronroco, quena, and tiple, Brazilian surdo, frame drum, vibraphone, marimba, and dozens of percussion instruments.
