POSY is the recording name of Rudy Klobas, Portland-based producer and multi-instrumentalist with a unique sound that intersects jazz, R&B, and electronic music. Originally trained on classical guitar, POSY gradually taught himself piano, bass, and drums and began writing and recording his first songs on a four-track cassette recorder. POSY’s music is lush and densely layered, but maintains an element of simplicity that ultimately leaves one feeling relaxed, nostalgic, and hopeful all at the same time. The ‘I Know A Place EP’ explores more jazz influences in comparison to the lo-fi-leaning ‘Abroad EP’. Further embracing an analog approach to production, Rudy utilized reel-to-reel tape and entirely live instrumentation to create lush, cinematic soundscapes equally inspired by early-60s Henry Mancini scores, and contemporary lo-fi pioneers like J Dilla and Nujabes.
