Take part sound designer; mix with software developer and user interface designer; then add a little audio visual geekery and a whole bunch of LED's and you'll create yourself a Kim Burgess.

At an early age he was turned away from more traditional acoustic instruments by his fathers use of bagpipes and accordion as an alarm clock. He briefly courted the electric and double bass before realising that a laptop was much easier to carry and a lot more fun.

After leaving a sound design degree at QUT to go play with shiny things that made lots of noise on the other side of the world he spent a bit of time creating audio for computer games, recording everything that made an interesting noise and nurturing his love of all things tech, all things music and the combination of the two. He has toured with and done tech for Marilyn Manson, Parklife Festival, Splendour in the Grass, Woodford Folk Festival, Children of the Swarm, Guinness Hurling Cubed, Opera Queensland, Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony broadcast and other shows across the UK, Republic of Ireland and Australia.

Outside of deepBlue Kim spends his time developing user interfaces and sensor networks for interactive media environments, fire twirling and getting way to excited about what you can do with 1's and 0's.
