His oeuvre, which he describes as &#8216;being about recording&#8217;, uses classically-tinged acoustic sources, electronically processed sounds and silence. For the past fifteen years, Kirschner&#8217;s music has been released free of charge on his website, which doubles up as an expansive, continually updated archive of his oeuvre. His music has also been published in physical form on labels like 12k, Sub Rosa, Room40 and Champion Version, among others. <\/p>\n<p>Over the past two years, twenty sound artists, six video artists and four journalists\/writers have carved out their personal vision of Kirschner&#8217;s pieces, resulting in 4.5 hours of new and exclusive music; an ebook with interviews and analyses; a generative software piece; specially curated videos as well as a three-part &#8216;Best Of\u201c of selected pieces from the past 15 years.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a decent gestation period, this very large project dedicated to my friend Kenneth Kirschner&#8217;s music has been published by Tokafi.
