{{Short description|Australian electronic and ambient musician, record producer and arranger}}
{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}}
'''Pimmon''' is the recording name of Australian electronic and ambient musician, record producer and arranger, '''Paul David Gough'''.<ref name="NLA Smudge"/> He has released records on labels such as [Fat Cat Records](/source/Fat_Cat_Records), Fällt, [Tigerbeat6](/source/Tigerbeat6), [Staalplaat](/source/Staalplaat) and [Staubgold](/source/Staubgold), and collaborated with [Keith Rowe](/source/Keith_Rowe) and [Oren Ambarchi](/source/Oren_Ambarchi), among others.

Gough started making music in the early 80s, inspired by [Severed Heads](/source/Severed_Heads),<ref name="angbaseInterview">[http://www.angbase.com/interviews/pimmon.html Angbase interview, 2000]</ref> but never released any of it commercially. That changed when he sent a [CD-R](/source/CD-R) to the Japanese label Meme, who released it in 1999. Since then, Gough has been creating [drone](/source/Drone_(music))- and [glitch](/source/Glitch_(music))-based abstract digital [soundscape](/source/soundscape)s, by manipulating a variety of sound sources on his computer. Gough's first documented output arrived in the very early stages of laptop [Electroacoustic improvisation](/source/Electroacoustic_improvisation) and he has thus been credited as "second only to Fennesz as a laptop artist."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/1198|title=Dusted Reviews: Pimmon - Snaps*Crackles*Pops}}</ref> He has played live at various festivals around the world, and has toured several countries.
 
Gough lives in [Adelaide](/source/Adelaide), where he works as a radio producer at [ABC Radio Adelaide](/source/ABC_Radio_Adelaide). He is also the host of a podcast called 1234 and The Quiet Space<ref name="quietSpace">[http://www.abc.net.au/rn/quietspace/ Quiet Space radio show]</ref> and another program on [FBi 94.5](/source/FBi_94.5) called Paul's Play-Lunch. Gough also performs with guitarist Jeff Burch under the name Mandala Trap.
