Classically trained as a composer and pianist, Kirn now produces adventurous techno and experimental music. Collaborative projects include Nerk/Kirn (V-Records, Snork Enterprises, with Nerk of Toktok fame), Alchemic Harm (dark ambient work, with a release with Lower Order Ethics), work with contemporary dance, sound art, and a collaboration with Robert Lippok (raster-noton), including a project on the 4DSOUND spatial audio system with architect Arno Brandhlhuber. He also releases solo techno and experimental music. He has for over a decade run CDM (createdigitalmusic.com) which has evolved into a daily destination for analysis of cutting-edge use of technology in all aspects of music. He is also co-creator with engineer James Grahame of the award-winning MeeBlip line of hardware synthesizers. He has collaborated with the European Space Agency, Polytechnic Museum in Moscow, and various festivals and conferences (TED, South by Southwest, re:publica), and produced workshops and open performance laboratories (MusicMakers Hacklab) around the world.
