| Ivan Pavlov / COH [b. 1968] is a sound artist and musician based between France, Sweden and Russia. From classical piano lessons as a child, through teenage fascination with electric guitars and university studies in theoretical physics, today the main musical interest is on bridging the gap between acoustics as science and music as an art form. |
|
From the late 90-ies onwards, COH records appeared on pioneering labels such as Raster-Noton, Mego, and Eskaton. at time invinging collaborations with other artists - Peter Christopherson [as SOISONG], Richard Chartier [as CHESSMACHINE], Telco Systems [as TELCOH], John Balance, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Annie Anxiety Bandez, Abul Mogard, and Ann Demeulemeester, among others. In every COH project the primary focus remains on finding and enhancing the particular qualities of sound - whether of a classical instrument, voice or a computer generated waveform - responsible for creating resonances in listener's perception of both music itself and surrounding reality.
In 2018, together with Austrian film director Aksel Stasny and Japanese dancer and choreographer Manaho Shimokawa, Ivan has started an artistic collective called III, with ambition of brining together body movement, moving image and sound through a harmonious process where the three dimensions unvelop simulatneously, contributing to each other in a balanced way. In 2019 Ivan founded FEM - Foundation for Electronic Music, with focus on introducing both the history and the current spectrum of electronic music to university students of physics and mathematics, aiming to enourage further development of music technology and sound aesthetics. |
