coL - Virtual Landscapes

Quietly and with little notice, coL crafted 47 albums in seven years. Originally a painter as a child, coL turned to music as a teenager, and never looked back. He is a self-taught musician and plays the guitar, bass, drums, synthesizer, and pattern programming. coL's singing has always been punk in it's nature, letting whatever comes out be. Over the years coL has remained true to this style, even going as far as improvising several albums' lyrics on the spot. Independence and forward thinking have always been at the forefront of coL's work. In 2001, he founded the underground label: JesusWarhol Records. A year later, after shooting his first music video, he created: Factory 3 Films. Directing videos for Spookey Ruben, R. Stevie Moore, and Pikelet among others. Next came Dead Designs to highlight his Graphics, which includes work for Lilys and Tones On Tail. ( He has collaborated with various underground artists: OFFBEAT (with Aaron Embry), Atheif (with Ariel Pink), Colour Sons (with Doleful Lions) Tall Children (with Karoline Hausted), as well as working with Of Life and Richard Sax Ross as producer. In 2013 Boards of Canada mentioned coL's work, in an interview for Humo Magazine. They later included one of his songs in their NTS Radio mix for the 30th anniversary of Warp records. - Derek Charles
