Creativity & I met a very long time ago. Now we are symbiant
Focus and I agree on a great many things
Love keeps giving me chances to prove myself
I've known pain & stress for a hot minute, now i'm accustomed
Hate tried to change me once, now we never
occupy the same space
Time has my complete respect

Kirk bought this guitar, sight unseen, in a crate at Booth's Pawn Shop on East Fifth Street in Aurora Heights, Texas. Supposedly it had belonged to Zharahz, a prophet for the Apocalyptic Cult known as God's Chimes. They preached that man was bound by time only because they could not hear the sound of God. They attempted to recreate this tone at their weekly get togethers called "unstickings". According to a note in the crate, Zharahz had fitted his electric guitar with a device that would unstick him in time, but only to the future, not back. They never heard from him again.

HISTORY
Kirk's journey into audio production began with a fascination into the creative processes behind the Blues, Jazz, Funk & Soul his father introduced him to, & the Reggae classics played by his uncles at countless family gatherings. This journey progressed to initial projects creating R&B & Hip Hop instrumentals inspired by producers Timbaland, Mannie Fresh, RZA, Swizz Beats, DJ Premier, DJ Scratch & Q-Tip who all provided a fantastic foundation in breaks, beats, rhythm & soul.
Later Kirk would be introduced to Drum & Bass legend Technical Itch's Mark Caro. This changed everything. Obsessed with the dark furious complexity of the harsher spectrum of D&B Kirk began countless hours researching & discovering the techniques & equipment used by D&B engineers such as Kryptic Minds & Leon Switch, Bkey, Dillinjah, Noisia, Limewax, Panacea, DJ Fresh(Bad Company), Pendulum(pre 'Hold your Colour'), Liam Howlett, Photek, Evol Intent, DJ SS, Calyx, John B, Loxy & Ink. After a few years of trial & error Kirk had established an unofficial degree in the science of sound.
An introduction to House, Electro, P-funk & Dubstep was spurred by DJ friend Dr Specs of Apex Ape. Dr Specs offered a 'post-graduate' indoctrination in minimalism & stripped-back grooves to raw, essential elements.
Relationships, travel & collaboration brought Kirk's attention back towards more soulful acoustic production triggering a re-discovery of the electric guitar & a sabbatical from production to explore the works of Hendrix, Clapton, Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Peter Green & John Lee Hooker. This period firmly established Kirk's respect & appreciation for live performance(s) & helped crystallise his command of acoustic & electronic platforms.
Still on the pathway & eager to explore & share philosophies of audio science, Kirk looked to consolidate & publish his endeavours via this archive. A venture that's resulted in cross-genre experiments, collaborations & all manner of unexpected fruit. Expression through graphic novels, animation, foley, post-production, voice-overs, mixing, photography, videography & tutorials that can be found across the corners of this site. Firm in his belief creativity is a hard earned discipline & privilege, this portfolio aims to remain in constant flux, as better technology & access to it improves all creative's capacity to create visual & audio art.
Proudly an audio nerd.
Welcome, share, be inspired, be brave & be kind!
