Danish artist who focuses on the scientific and aesthetic aspects of resonance, time, sound and hearing. His installations, compositions and performances deal with acoustic spaces and phenomena that usually remain imperceptible. Using unorthodox recording tools, including accelerometers, hydrophones and home-built electromagnetic receivers, Kirkegaard captures and contextualizes hitherto unheard sounds from within a variety of environments : a geyser, a sand dune, a nuclear power plant, an empty room, a TV tower, and even sounds from the human inner ear itself. He is a graduate of the Academy for Media Arts in Cologne, Germany. Over the last fifteen years, he has presented his works at exhibitions and at festivals and conferences throughout the world such. He has released five albums (mostly on the British label Touch) and is also a member of the sound art collective freq_out.
