Kirk Barley (aka Church Andrews) is a Yorkshire-born composer and sound artist.

As Barley, he creates organic works from field recordings, instrumental fragments, and found sounds. His compositions often resemble sonic dioramas, with layered textures that unfold and invite exploration.

As Church Andrews, he explores rhythm-focused music, using digital synthesis and algorithmic techniques.

Across both projects, his work channels Jazz, Minimalism, Post Rock, and Hip-Hop, folding irregular rhythms, evolving temporalities, and alternate tunings into dynamic sonic landscapes.

Kirk has performed across the UK, Europe, and Canada, And his music has been released on labels such as Accidental, Odda, 33-33, and his own Health imprint.
