COH's first recording of electrical static, aptly named *Enter_tinnitus, has an odd way of creeping into the subconscious. Ivan Pavlov, an acoustic engineer from icy Sweden, must be going for high art--he'll never make it as an entertainer. *Tinnitus organizes regular pulsing and whirring noises in a sparsely textured sonic field. A clever track at the end features lyrics and vocals by Pavlov's excruciatingly cute baby daughter, Sasha. All this cooing underscores the primal infancy of the relatively new machine music school which also includes the analog click-and-whir of Finland's Pan Sonic. Look for more of this material upcoming in Rastermusic's raster.static series. COH, by the way, is the cyrillic spelling for dream or sleep in Russian--pronounced "sown." Too bad his first record doesn't work very well for bedtime listening. Must be all the vibrations I get to listen to afterwards.
