Kirk Barley
An underground ambient jazz artist.
Kirk Barley (aka Church Andrews) is a Yorkshire-born composer and sound artist. Under his own name, he produces textural, organic work, formed from processed studio and field recordings. As Church Andrews, he explores synthetic, beat-focused music through digital synthesis and algorithmic composition. Across both projects, Barley draws influences from jazz, minimalism, techno, and hip-hop, experimenting with time signatures, temporals, and tuning systems to create his distinctive sound worlds. His forthcoming album Lux continues this exploration, blending found sounds, live instrumentation, and work with alternative tuning systems. Written and recorded in early 2024, Lux bridges organic and abstract elements. Inspired by surrealist cinema and northern landscapes, Lux presents sound worlds where the boundaries between reality and artifice blur. Kirk Barley’s Lux is released on ODDA Recordings on 21st March 2025. https://kirkbarley.com/
