Kirk Barley, Elsa Hewitt

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.

Elsa Hewitt is a prolific producer and songwriter, known for making avant-garde electronic music. Mesmerising and deceptively experimental, her music merges currents of lo-fi house, future garage, dub-techno, experimental-techno and hip-hop, with hazy textural ambience, well honed songwriting and spoken word. It is a distinctive yet unpredictable sound that continues to evolve with every release.
