Pimmon

Pimmon is the recording name of Australian musician Paul Gough. He has released records on labels such as Fat Cat Records, Fällt, Tigerbeat6, Staalplaat and Staubgold, and collaborated with Fennesz and Oren Ambarchi, among others.

Gough started making music in the early 80s, inspired by Severed Heads^[1], but never released any of it commercially. That changed when he sent a CD-R to the Japanese label Meme, who released it in 1999. Since then, Gough has been perfecting his unique mixture of drone- and glitch-based abstract digital soundscapes, which he creates using a variety of sound sources that he manipulates on his computer. He has played live at various festivals around the world, and went on a short European tour in 2002.

Gough lives in Sydney, where he works as an audio engineer at ABC Radio National. He is also the host of a radio show on ABC Radio National called Quiet Space^[2] and another program on FBi 94.5 called Paul's Play-Lunch.
