Like many other composer-performers, Cohen prefers live performance as the true musical experience, and rarely records or promotes \u0022product\u0022 of his work (among musicians, this is of course another one of life\u0027s neverending discussions). However, there is some hard evidence (friendly joke) of Cohen\u0027s activity with other musicians: (1) two or three years of collaborations with video artist Eric Schefter, performances and studio work, are distilled on a video tape that is available by special order through the Internet: http://www.el.net/luminists/. The Luminists worked in residence at the Experimental Television Center. (2) And his work can be heard prominently on several cuts with the West Philadelphia group Bastard Finders (\u0022Bastard Finders\u0022 and \u0022Got One\u0022 both 1990 with selections like \u0022Maga\u0027 \u0022 and \u0022I\u0027m making a trip to reality, can I get you anything\u0022) available from Branzstuff Music, which can be also ordered through the Internet: https://web.superb.net/barnz/pages/bfbio.html. ~ \u0022Blue\u0022 Gene Tyranny, All Music Guide. http://www.voicenet.com/~ccohen/.","offset":0,"nextOffset":null,"totalCharacters":1252,"complete":true},"rightsUrl":"https://www.videohistoryproject.org/terms-service"}
