COH aka ivan pavlov, actually born in russia, lives and works in sweden. his cultural roots are in his mother country - that is why he feels more attached to the russian avantgarde than to the western rock-pop tradition.
as qualified acoustic engineer, he is involved in developing different types of sound synthesis. he found a way to compose rare tones to an ensemble that shows more associations with lyrics and comics than with "artificial intelligence."
he is a member of raster-noton and his live shows can be seen in germany. »mask of birth« is his debut work although his other two releases have been released earlier. this album is a very personal record, which he dedicated to his daughter.
