PBK - 21st Century Electronic

"This American artist has been recording under the name of PBK for the best part of 20+ years... His music, and the reason you probably won't be familiar with him, places him at the fringes of the experimental jet set. That little area where few dare to venture for fear of what they may hear. The dark recesses of the unknown driving many a listener into the arms of a safer more comfortable channel of music."

Phillip B. Klingler (PBK): “PBK has fashioned a noise-based music that doesn’t rely on power electronics process, but rather, by placing noises themselves into ambient/atmospheric sound environments. His soundworks are composed from turntable manipulation, sampling and analog/digital synthesis. Improvising spontaneously and with little preconception, PBK creates pulsing, echoing, organic soundscapes of unknown sonic origin.”

PBK: Huracán Series (collage/paint)

I never agreed with the fetishist commodification of music collecting, driving up prices of prized limited editions, art packages, clear vinyl, etc. on Ebay and such. I want my music HEARD, not HOARDED.

PBK-Excerpt (from Lee Martin’s The Midnight Hour)

The new generation has it’s faults, just as the old school did, the whole noise movement was born out of a sort of post-modern dilettantism, but on the whole I find the new guard to have a better grasp of the origins and precursors of the movement and are able to incorporate their ideas in more concentrated and satisfying ways.
