Sound composer, Phillip B. Klingler, better known as PBK, has been active in the experimental music underground since 1986. His soundwork correlates to electroacoustic, classic industrial and free jazz genres. 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 out of turntable manipulation, sampling and analog/digital synthesis. Improvising spontaneously and with little preconception, PBK creates pulsing, organic soundscapes of unknown sonic origin.
PBK has performed live throughout the U.S. and in Europe. A restless collaborator, he has worked with some of the most respected names in experimental music such as Artemiy Artemiev, Asmus Tietchens, Vidna Obmana, Artificial Memory Trace, Jarboe, AMK, Jeph Jerman, and many others. Over the course of nearly 20 years PBK has had numerous albums released internationally, a complex body of work that reveals a unique approach to the noise aesthetic.
