Richard H. Kirk (born 21 March 1956, Sheffield, England - died 21 September 2021) was an English musician who specialized in electronic music. He was a member of the industrial music band Cabaret Voltaire, formed in 1973. Kirk released his first solo album "Disposable Half-Truths" in 1980 and developed a parallel solo career alongside the band until its dissolution in 1994. His music featured a fusion of diverse genres from dance-oriented Techno and House to Experimental Electronica and Ambient.

In 2009, Kirk resurrected the Cabaret Voltaire name as the sole member. Throughout his career, he left an indelible mark on the electronic music scene with his innovative soundscapes and boundary-pushing compositions.

Richard H. Kirk's unique style continues to inspire artists today. Similar performers include B12, The Black Dog, Two Lone Swordsmen, Sweet Exorcist, LFO, Speedy J, Air Liquide, Ultramarine, sun electric Electronic Eye Seefeel Global Communication Autechre Cylob Meat Beat Manifesto Bochum Welt The Future Sound Of London Plaid Muslimgauze.

Selected from over seven hours of archive recordings, the majority of which has never before been available,Earlier/Later - Unreleased Projects Anthology 74/89documents a fifteen-year period of private research and personal development by Richard H. Kirk. Committed to cassette and then forgotten, they have been transferred onto CD with a minimum postproduction. Throughout the two CD release is evidence of Kirk reinventing himself through the sparse dynamics of dance music and laying down the groundwork for his later Sandoz and Sweet Exorcist projects. The earliest material, recorded onto open-reel tape machines using the most basic equipment, is raw and inventive.
