PETER KIRN is editor of CDM (createdigitalmusic.com), for nearly ten years an online resource for music and live visual technology, and a journalist, musician, and media artist. He is also co-creator of the MeeBlip, open-source electronic musical instrument hardware. Classically trained in composition, he produces electronic music and visual performances ranging from experimental to techno, as well as making music as half of NERK/KIRN (V-Records). His work is especially focused on live and real-time performance, drawing heavily from custom-built software and tools, and connections between music and other media, from dance to visual abstraction.

Born in Kentucky, he now lives in Berlin, Germany, and performs and teaches, consults and speaks about creative technology internationally.
