About Me

Now playing: Sirk (Norway) Sirk a.k.a. Kristian Wølner comes from a small place in the countryside just outside Oslo, Norway, where, in addition to creating music, he works as an organic farmer. After some rather disastrous attempts at playing bass in a punk band and keyboards in an experimental duo in the early eighties, purchasing a computer in 1997 gave Sirk's career in music a new chance. Sirk's free form of slow electronica (including ambient, downtempo and world fusion) garnered many listeners and fans. He also collaborated with a number of great artists over the internet such as vocalists Louise Fraser (UK) and Sandhya Sanjana (India), and Christopher Wing a.k.a. WalkSkipRunGlide (US). Sirk's music has been featured on several compilation CDs. LATEST: Sirk (ambient) is a sideproject for my more ambient and experimental stuff.
