Kumo is a British musician and composer, the pseudonym of Jono Podmore who was born in 1965.

1988

In 1988, Podmore composed the soundtrack for TV film Stanley's Vision, by Rosemary Shepherd.

1994

Kumo came into existence in 1994 when composer, producer, engineer and arranger Jono Podmore began work at Watershed Studios, London and with Plink Plonk records, founding two sister labels to Plink Plonk: Autoi and Psychomat.

He began to play the theremin, developing new techniques for live performance of electronic music.

1997

After a string of singles, remixes, live dates and international DJ commitments as Kumo, March 1997 saw the release of his first album Kaminari to significant critical acclaim.

1997 was also the year that Kumo moved temporarily to France to work with Irmin Schmidt (of Can) on Schmidt's opera Gormenghast, which premiered in 1998 and was re-staged in 2004.

A selection from the opera recorded and mixed by Jono was released on Spoon/Mute records in 2000.

October 2000 saw the release of the second Kumo album 1+1=1 on Spoon Records.

The success of the EP led to an album for Sound-Space: Slave Dances (Seven Portraits), the first Kumo album since 2000, released in August 2021.

The album is accompanied by a 52-page zine with text by Jono, art by Joyce Treasure and design by Dan Taylor.

A 3-track Kumo EP Three Tigers was released in early 2022 to mark the Chinese Year of the Tiger to critical acclaim:

“With Three Tigers, Podmore has once again shown himself to be a masterful arranger of conceptual, deep-thinking electronic music.” (Mat Smith)

2001

In 2001, after extensive touring including the Sonar festival, the London Jazz Festival and the Can Solo Projects tour, the first Irmin Schmidt and Kumo album Masters of Confusion was released worldwide.

Later the same year they created the sound installation Flies, Guys and Choirs for the Barbican Centre as part of the Elektronik festival.

The installation is now available as a sonic experience for public spaces.

The duo continued to perform and give workshops together across Europe and work on film and TV music together including award-winning German TV series and dramas.

The 4-track EP Kumo and Friends was released on Electric Tones Records in early 2003 and a successful collaboration with B.J. Cole was released on the album Trouble in Paradise.

2004

He created and leads the MMus Production post-graduate course and installed a professional recording studio.

After further live appearances together, work began on a second Irmin Schmidt and Kumo album and the duo also made remixes (including P.I.L), performed live, held workshops in Germany and Portugal, and produced the album dot i/o for Mito Ichikawa.
