i.m. Richard H. Kirk (Cabaret Voltaire)
‘Richard H Kirk was prolific, hungry, angry and funky to the end’
– Joe Muggs, The Guardian, 21 September 2021
Sound versus silence with all bets off
Passive listening reduced to a geometric point
Relentless noise and emotional hiss
Commanded to dance and enjoy
Cajoled into equidistant timeslip
Factory sounds as featured instrument
Rewiring and recontextualisation
Deformed rhythm as compositional tool
Ruins of the future sampled and repackaged
Endlessly scratching a terminal itch
