COH
Russian-born COH is an electronic music producer, sound artist and engineer. COH has lived in Sweden since 1995. He has worked with singer Annie Anxiety, American musician and artist Richard Chartier (under the names Chessmachine and Nice Box), cult band Coil, singer and musician Cosey and together with the late Peter Christopherson he formed the band Soisong in 2007. Despite his Swedish home, COH remains close to his cultural roots and the Russian avant-garde. He has recorded for many labels including the much-respected raster-noton and his own label wavetrap.
His latest album, just released by Editions Mego is “IIRON,” recorded in the Music Research Centre at the University of York in England, revisits sounds first made in the Soviet-era USSR for his album “IRON.” The record sees COH revisiting his early 80’s underground music activities – a time when he was making and consuming “forbidden” metal music. "IIRON" is a powerful, well-executed electronic rock record, with just a dash a humor to keep it from becoming pompous, as so much of that kind of music can be sometimes. COH’s appearances Stateside are extremely rare.
