CoH (Ivan Pavlov) is a pivotal figure in the post-industrial and glitch electronic scenes, bridging the gap between the transgressive experimentation of Coil and the rigorous minimalism of the Raster-Noton label. Based in Sweden since the mid-90s, Pavlov's work is defined by a 'post-pop' sensibility where traditional song structures are atomized into digital fragments.
His career is marked by high-profile collaborations with members of Throbbing Gristle and Coil, most notably in the project Soisong with Peter Christopherson. Critically, CoH is praised for his technical mastery of digital signal processing, often using custom software to create sounds that are both physically intense and intellectually stimulating. His sound identity is characterized by 'crystalline' textures and a focus on the physical properties of sound waves. Historically, he is a key architect of the 'glitch' movement, proving that digital error could be harnessed for profound emotional and atmospheric effect.
