Based in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area, Charles Cohen has been creating music since 1971. Taking inspiration from free jazz pianist Cecil Taylor, his music is entirely improvisational and produced solely on a vintage Buchla Music Easel synthesizer, an extremely rare integrated analog performance instrument made by synthesizer pioneer Don Buchla. An avid collaborator, Cohen is most well known to most listeners from his work with Jeff Cain in their group The Ghostwriters.

  • Based in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area, Charles Cohen has been creating music since 1971. Taking inspiration from free jazz pianist Cecil Taylor, his music is entirely improvisational and produced solely on a vintage Buchla Music Easel synthesizer, an extremely rare integrated analog performance instrument made by synthesizer pioneer Don Buchla. An avid collaborator, Cohen is most well known to most listeners from his work with Jeff Cain in their group The Ghostwriters. From Baltimore to Philadelphia and New York City, he collaborates with many media artists in improvisational settings as varied as the Red Room, Knitting Factory and Tonic. With few recorded or commercially available works to his credit, Cohen prefers to concentrate on creating electronic music in the setting of the live performance space. His music ranges from completely abstract and challenging to pleasantly rhythmic and infectious. Each performance is original and new, to the audience and to Cohen as well.
