The Wire: Sitting amid the 8-channel audio, one hears incredible details, and there’s a timelessness that breaks from the sequenced motion of the video. It’s peaceful, even sensual (…) - the audio has a sharp, cleansing purity. It’s beautifully crafted, and the 8-channels create the sonic illusion of a depth and breath to the space that goes far past the walls, ceiling and floor of the room. (…) If there’s dread in hearing the environment swamped by the wastefulness of consumer capitalism, it’s that of the sublime. George Grella, 2021 Rolling Stone: One of contemporary sound art's most subtle, intriguing figures. More artistically minded than field recordings, more naturally hewn than noise tapes, Kirkegaard amplifies hidden worlds into evocative drifts. December 2015 Douglas Kahn: Kirkegaard has countered Duchamp’s dictum, “One can look at seeing, one can’t hear hearing.” Earside Out, 2014 The Wire: For all the scientific rigour to Kirkegaard's research into the sonic possibilities of various materials, his work reveals an underlying fascination for the mysteries and myths embedded in them. His work channels an access to an inner world. Anne Hilde Neset, 2009
