More Info
This was Kirk’s 1st solo album in 5 years and was originally released in 2017, recorded, produced and written by Richard H. Kirk, founding member of Cabaret Voltaire, the album was constructed at Western Works, Sheffield, over a three-year period. Work began with recording on midi and analogue synthesisers before guitar and vocals (Kirk's first use of vocals in 10 years) were added.
The album's title, Dasein (a German word meaning 'being there' or 'presence', often translated into English as 'existence'), is a fundamental concept in existentialism. In 2014, during the recording period, Kirk began work on Cabaret Voltaire live and so the two projects coexisted in tandem. Praise For Richard H. Kirk 'One of the UK's pioneering electronic agitators' Electronic Sound 'In five decades of key-bashing and knob-twisting, Richard H. Kirk has remained at the vanguard of electronic music' FACT '...decades of electronic innovation, forged in Sheffield' Uncut 'Kirk was toying with distorted realities from 1970s onwards' Record Collector
