COH and ABUL MOGARD’s musical meeting point

We asked Ivan Pavlov’s CoH and Guido Zen’s Mogard to walk each other through their musical upbringings.
Late last year Houndstooth released a collaboration with two pioneers, CoH and Abul Mogard. The chance meeting between the two artists at a festival in 2019 has resulted in a “supranatural alchemy of discrete analogue material and digital energy.”
Ivan Pavlov’s CoH, known for his intensely curious original solo work, has worked with Mogard’s melancholic analogue synth gloam to create an album that is metaphysically powerful and allusive. This release also discloses for the first time Mogard’s work is the work of Italian artist Guido Zen.
We asked the pair to walk each other through their musical upbringings.

COH: Back in 1997 I met Mika and Ilpo of Panasonic, and whenever visiting London I would stay at their squat next to the cricket stadium in Kennington [The Oval]. Jimi Tenor had a room of his own at the apartment, and I recollect one morning upon his return from an exhausting US tour we all went for a egg-n-bacon breakfast at a nearby “proletarian” spot.. Around the time I accidentally found the KOCMOC vinyl elsewhere – to me it holds the vibe of the time and the atmosphere of the place. Not to mention musically it is a very amusing futuristic fusion of the talents of Mika and Jimi.
