Russian-born Swedish-based laptop player Ivan "Coh" Pavlov, began his studies on
disco-music and techno with Mask of Birth (Raster-Noton, 2000 - Mego, 2002), originally recorded in 1997.
He turned to glitch music on the intimidating
Enter Tinnitus (Raster-Noton, 1999), but
returned to his post-modernist reflections on dance-music with the EP
Love Uncut (Eskaton, 2001), a collaboration with Coil that dissected
classics of the 1980s.
He then abandoned that thread and delved into ambient glitch soundsculpting
with Seasons (Idea, 2003), four suites
that process instruments and noise to create otherworldly atmospheres.
The centerpiece is the fantastic landscapes of The Colour Of Beauty, Summer Is Red,
complemented by the introspective nightmare of
Winter Brooding Underneath.
It also includes the
piano and rain sonata As Ripe As Autumn's Tears
and the
solo guitar sonata Springs Come Shooting: Make Love, Make War.
Coh then focused the bleak, omninous concept album
Netmork (SouRce Research Recordings, 2002) on the theme of
telephony ("digitally encoded human emotions running through solid darkness of telephone wires").
0397Post-Pop (Mego, 2004) collects live performances and early rare
material from 1997.
Coh's rather uneventful Above Air (Eskaton, 2006) was a
tribute to Coil's John Balance.
The 24-minute EP Patherns (Raster-Noton, 2006) works as a summary of
Coh's expansive electronic suites.
