Good Folks!

As you may have heard, my music is FREE! Yes, that's right - FREE! As in, download it, share it with friends, family, strangers, and enemies. Burn it to CD's and leave in restaurants and fast food chains. Make mix tapes and mail to Japan. Play loudly for your dogs, and play backwards for your cats. Cook to it, sleep to it, shower to it, and...

Sincerely,
Alan Cohen

NEW FREE Album For YOU!

My new album is called "Space & Time". I read Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" and wrote a song for each chapter. Good folks, this is my follow-up to the "Revolutions" concept album I recorded in my basement a few years ago. This one was recorded with Tony Goddess in Gloucester, MA. See Tony play a steel guitar with his band Papas Fritas here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmixAF5jxFw.


Some Songs for YOU:
We all know Einstein. But, do you "KNOW" Einstein? We all love Einstein, but do you "LOVE" him? I "know" and "love" Einstein, and I wrote a song about him. Download it, learn it, and pass it along:

We know that the Universe is expanding by measuring various properties of the stars: Luminosity, the spectrum of light, and the color. Each of these properties gives us wonderful knowledge of their elemental composition, distance from the Earth, their temperature, and many other things. This is a song about that. Love it here:

The narration...

Behold the tragedy of Oedipus the King. So says the Oracle. Oedipus of Thebes, heed this warning well. It is your destiny to murder your father and marry your mother. It is your fate to become a great King. All that you love and hold dear will be laid waste by your own hand.

No man is considered fortunate until he is dead. No man is considered fortunate until he is dead.




Alan Cohen Experience EP
Produced by Roger Greenawalt
Released November 4, 2008

Recorded over ten days with master producer Roger Greenawalt, this EP is the first volume of Alan Cohen Experience songs that don't fit into any particular concept. Like Bo Jackson, the songs touch and cross genre's efforlessly.

The Obama Groove
by the Alan Cohen Experience
feat. Ryan Pressman (familyjunction.org) on the drums and AfroDZak (myspace.com/afrodzak) on the trumpet

Obama, he's the candidate for me
Obama, he sets the right policy
Obama, he'll manage things responsibly
Obama, he's the candidate for me

He understands the nuances of issues that he'll have to face
He won't define them with how lobbyists present their case
From the get-go he knew the Iraq war was off base

He speaks with a clear and simple ideology
He doesn't have a my way or the highway philosophy
He's not a slave to the free market or fundamentalist theology

He has the right ideas of health care and education
He'll invest in infrastructure for the future of the nation
He's not gonna be another Bush administration




Revolutions
Produced by Alan Cohen
Released 2007


To Whom It May Concern:

This is an album about revolutions, revolutionaries, and revolutionary thought. It starts and ends with a different version of the same song, is on a circular disc, and spins endlessly in your cd player. It talks about planets flying around the sun, the French Revolution, and has an ode to Fidel Castro. Interwoven throughout many of the songs are ideas from the Luddite movement. It even resurrects an old Luddite anthem, written in 1811 in the beautiful Nottingham countryside, and turned into a euro-punk song by the anarchist pop-group Chumbawumba in 1988 (yes, THAT band). Mine is a folk song, thank you very much.

So please relax, grab a comfortable seat, open your intellectual curiousity just a tad, and let the revolution flow through your brain.

Sincerely,
ACExp
