Robert Poss founded the critically acclaimed Band Of Susans in 1986, described by Rolling Stone Magazine as "adamantly arty, brainy, visceral and bracing.” B.O.S. went on to release two EPs and five full length albums produced by Poss before disbanding in 1995. Before forming the band he’d worked with Rhys Chatham and after the group parted ways he’d collaborate with Nicolas Collins, Wire’s Bruce Gilbert, Ben Neill, David Dramm and Phill Niblock, among others.

In 2002 Robert released a pair of companion solo albums Distortion Is Truth and Crossing Casco Bay on Trace Elements Records. Tape Op Magazine described him at the time as a “guitar genius, drone meister …the master of treated and manipulated guitars.” Following those releases, Poss has composed and performed music for choreographers Sally Gross, Alexandra Beller and Gerald Casel, and worked with Band Of Susans co-founder Susan
