V/Vm is the experimental music and sound collage project of James Kirby, from Stockport, England. Although starting out mainly in the style of noise music, Kirby is also a composer of original electronic music and remixes. His vast output is released primarily on his own V/Vm Test Records label. Alongside the work of the V/Vm project James Kirby also records most often as The Caretaker. He currently resides in Berlin.
Since 1996 their have been numerous releases by V/Vm on a whole host of labels working with a number of other musicians. Early releases were often electronic in nature including the critically acclaimed split 12" release on Fat Cat Records [1]. In 1999 V/Vm also released a recording of Pigs [2] feeding in the North West of Englands largest Pig Farm to the horror of many reviewers who mistook the sound of feeding pigs to be that of pigs being killed.
