- a Performance + discussing and working up patches suitable for free improv + small group jams / improv games
- try ideas out, collaborate (and listen!) + plenty of time for give and take all along the way!
Seating/Spots will be limited. This is a RSVP workshop with a modest donation.
If you are interested get on our list: email: kultbox@gmail.com please put Chicago Modular Musickal Extemporization Klinic in the subject! We will forward information.
the Color Is Luxury sound is always improvisational, changing and evolving, ranging from very dense and harsh to minimal and ambient, beats to spacey, based on their mood at the time and the atmosphere of the space they're playing in. Regardless of the situation, they manage to come up with something special.
Charles plays a Buchla Music Easel, a rare analog performance instrument he acquired from master synth maker Don Buchla in 1976. he performs regularly in Philly with various folks on the techno, noise, jazz and new music scenes.
hair_loss plays a variety of esoteric and mainstream effects pedals and devices, which he wires up differently for each show, thus always keeping Charles guessing. hair_loss is also involved with SNOWSTORM & Jive Nation, and collaborates frequently with other Philadelphia artists.
----COLOR IS LUXURY (CHARLES COHEN and hair_loss, philly. deep listening/ruby red) master of the buchla music easel, the legendary and prolific electronic improviser teams up with hair_loss (electronics). noisy, hypnotic, chaotic, bubbling. anyone with even a passing interest in analogue synthesis or jazz improv will not want to miss this.!"
