A composer who has always had, shall we say, a healthy obsession with all things nerdy... He loves it all, from video games and board games, to role-playing in Dungeons & Dragons campaigns as a bard (just typical of a composer). He keeps a pair of large metal 20 sided dice on his desk when he needs something to fiddle with, or to make a performance check. These narrative driven hobbies have wormed their way into the music that Kirk creates. Much like these fantastical mediums, Kirk focuses on the stories and experiences that a piece of music might imply.
When we listen as others share their experiences, we're opened to a new world view. That’s why Kris Kirk is passionate about supporting unheard voices from marginalized communities. These are stories that we don't often see on the screen or stage. Through his music, and what his music supports, Kirk hopes to spark conversations. Conversations that will go beyond the screen and concert hall.
