Philosophy of Sound (P.O.S) is the brainchild of Martin K, a Polish-born, Australia-based producer known for his multidisciplinary approach to music and technology. As a music producer, academic, and live performer, Martin K’s work spans multiple projects, including P.O.S, KOshowKO, and the iubar project, each reflecting his commitment to creating thought-provoking, genre-blurring music. With releases on respected labels such as Discotexas, Emerald & Doreen, and, most recently, Golden Soul Records, as well as collaborations with artists like Chicks On Speed, Severed Heads, and B(if)tek, Martin has established himself as a dynamic presence in electronic music.
His acts have graced stages at festivals such as White Night, Electundra, and St Kilda Festival in Australia, along with a tour across Germany. His music has garnered global recognition, highlighted by “The Story”, a song that reached the finals of the International Songwriting Competition in 2009, alongside screenings of his music videos at various music and film festivals.
Philosophy of Sound initially gained traction through releases on Discotexas, where P.O.S’s signature blend of danceable beats and reflective lyrics garnered acclaim. Tracks like “Freedom, What For?” resonated deeply, spending four weeks in Beatport’s Top 30 and featuring an interactive music video lauded for its socially conscious messaging. In crafting P.O.S’s sound, Martin frequently collaborates with a range of musicians and vocalists, merging electronic production with live instrumentation.
After a hiatus, during which Martin completed a PhD focused on remote music collaboration and pursued several side projects, Philosophy of Sound is making a return in late 2024. Reinvigorated with new collaborators, including multi-instrumentalist Sebastian Barahona, and fresh material, this comeback begins with the release of “Moonlights” on Golden Soul Records. Complete with remixes by Pete Herbert and James Rod & Aleito, this new single marks an exciting chapter for Philosophy of Sound, combining a renewed artistic vision with P.O.S’s signature approach to music production.
