There are several artists using this name: 1) ELpH was a project of John Balance, founder of Coil, writer, producer, remixer, member of 23 Skidoo, Psychic TV, Zos Kia, and Current 93.. An outlet for Balance to “worship the glitch” a little more. The musical equipment was as much as a contributing member to any musical group as any other person. ELpH is the entity Coil used to describe what musical compositions came out of the equipment that were sometimes unrehearsed or consciously thought of.
