Kirk Barley

Kirk Barley (aka Church Andrews) is a Yorkshire born composer and sound artist. Under his own name he produces highly textural, organic work, formed from processed studio and field recordings, In contrast as Church Andrews he produces synthetic, often beat-focused music, using digital synthesis and algorithmic composition techniques. For both projects he draws influence from Jazz, Minimalism, Techno and Hip-Hop, while experimenting with time signature, temporals and tuning systems to create a unique and compelling soundworld.
