Charles Cohen

Composer, improviser, and Buchla Music Easel master Charles Cohen returns to Morphine with a suite of new material.In keeping with the timbre spectrum of his semi-modular system, Brother I Prove You Wrong is built around pointillist analog tones-Cohen's cosmic "beeps and boops"-that swarm and scatter in mesmeric patterns across four sides. Moving through surrealistic textural overlays and industrial miasma, the album's nine tracks reveal a more introspective and personal side of the artist, following from a retrospective LP trilogy released via Morphine in 2013. Those assembled works, dating back to the late '70s, quickly became essential listening and brought Cohen-at the time largely unknown outside Philadelphia's experimental circuit-to critical renown.
