Inspiration for This Work

A train screeching to a halt. The hum of air-conditioning on a car park roof top. The cavernous din of chairs scraping and children screaming in a shopping centre. Fluttering bird chirps floating down a derelict river valley. The vinyl squeak of an old escalator. Jeeps and cars with sound systems that go boom! These are some of the sounds that permeate non-place. A drum track pattering on its own bereft of any accompanying instrumentation. Grinding guitar feedback. Kick-snare-hi-hat. Kick-kick-snare-hit-hat. Rave synth. Tinny music pouring out of a public address system. This is the sound of music welling up and floating across non-place. Unapologetic, unexplained.

Working across sound and video his practice is concerned with the relationship between urban non-place, its sonic spaces and music. Kirkwood was the principal sound designer for performance group The Brown Council on their video 'Love and Death in 8 Minutes' which was exhibited at First Draft gallery in July. Alongside developing his own post-tertiary practice, forthcoming projects include further sonic collaboration with The Brown Council for the Next Wave festival in Melbourne in early 2008 and working with fellow video artist William Mansfield.
