Kirn’s work ranges from teaching creative coding with open tools to making experimental live techno. As a writer he focuses on trends in live and interactive visuals and designs in new music technologies. He is also a frequent collaborator with dance, as well as a veteran of Dance Theater Workshop's dance and technology residency.

As part of CDM Kirn set up record label Establishment, which has released two of his records, 2016’s Imaski, an EP of techno-tinged hyperreal pop accompanied by Anna Maria Olech’s colour-saturated music videos, and the full-length Bellona, USA, inspired by sci-fi writer Samuel R. Delaney’s novel Dhalgren.

Kirn has been leading the MusicMaker’s Hacklab at CTM Festival since 2013, together with various collaborators. The Hacklab is a collaborative, improvisatory, experimental environment that encourages the conception and realisation of new ideas in a week of intensive activity.
