Richard Harold Kirk (born 21 March 1956) is an English musician who has specialised in electronic music since the 1970s.
Kirk first came to prominence in the 1970s as a member of the seminal industrial band Cabaret Voltaire. His first release as a solo artist, Disposable Half-Truths, was released in 1980 and he maintained a career as a solo artist alongside Cabaret Voltaire until the band's dissolution in 1994. He reformed the band in 2014 as the sole remaining member, performing sporadicly with all-new material more akin to his solowork than the output of the original incarnation of Cabaret Voltaire.
During the 1990s his solo output increased considerably. Kirk’s works have explored multiple types of electronic/dance music under many pseudonyms. His prolific work has resulted in AllMusic calling him contemporary techno's busiest man.
In addition to solo releases under his own name, Richard H. Kirk has used the following aliases:
