THE DELERIUM OF CHARLES COHEN



In light of BEMI and its re-visioned Music Easel it's instructive to hear/see Charles Cohen on his vintage model,  one of only fourteen originally produced by Don Buchla. If BEMI ever gets it's act together enough to warrant purchase,  this is the place to start your Easel education. The instrument's name implies a painterly approach that to me suggests gesture, tonal color,  rhythmic pileups,  process,  and accident over any "musical" concerns.
