Kirri Büchler

Kirri Büchler currently resides on the stolen lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung people. She is a multi-instrumentalist (violin, double bass, piano, synthesiser and accordion).

Kirri has spent most of her career as a performing musician, playing violin and double bass, crossing numerous genres; Hungarian/Romanian/Balkan Gypsy and folk music, trad jazz, Manouche, free jazz, mock-Russian cabaret, indie rock, classical, modern classical, experimental/new music, pop and ambient.

Kirri has always had a keen interest in sound, sound art and the crossover between sound and music, and has explored this through her live music practice wherever possible. Over her years interspersed with her regular music practice she has created both improvised and pre-composed scores for various theatre works and/or performance art, dance and installations as well as a few sound design jobs for interesting arts projects. Her sound practice has taken a front seat since the onset of the pandemic as she has created sound for larger scale projects such as “Museum UNdone” and “We Pay To Be Where The Party Isn’t” with Metanoia and “Journey” with Hypnogoia.
