Although Graham Lewis is best-known as Wire's bassist and co-vocalist, like Bruce Gilbert and Colin Newman he kept himself busy outside of Wire pursuing adventurous solo and collaborative projects: from minimalist experimentation to more accessible electro-pop and beyond music into performance art.
Born into a military family in 1953, Lewis spent his childhood on RAF bases. A posting in East Anglia provided his formative musical experience, enabling him to listen to pirate radio stations broadcasting American and homegrown rock. Lewis' first instrument was a bass assembled by a local coffin-maker. However, he wasn't so much interested in playing music as experimenting with noise. His lack of skill, coupled with a desire to explore the possibilities of sound, equipped him well for a future with Wire and for numerous ventures with Bruce Gilbert.
