Sounds Like
electrical charges sent from feelings to thoughts to sayings out of my mind yet coming from inside: A SONG, starring the given subject in and of itself, directed by its causalities, produced by the result, brought to you by viewers like you; vibrating whats brought by the rhythm of your ear drum). ALSO SOUNDS LIKE: extracting aesthetics and transfusing them into a callague of vibrational patterns, verbalized as if they were something new......

The ALien Architect Bio:
"The Alien Architect (AA) AKA The Obsurdist Wordist is the "out of this world" Rhythm And Poet (RAP) secret identity of the mild mannered Philadelphia native, Devin Asher Shlomo Cohen. AA has been known to play "beat sets," in which he raps with a Dj and a bass player, "accoustic sets," in which he plays guitar and raps at the same time often alongside a violinist and Philadelphia flute and sax legend Elliot Levinne, "spoken word sets," and "hard hittin' full band sets," which include keys, bass, guitar, drums, and computer nic nacs. HIs lyrics are quite "je ne se pa." And the instrumentation, as well as the musicality of AA's raps are to die for. The ALien Architect is influenced by Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Saul Williams, K-os, Cream, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Blackalicious, The Roots, Look Daggers, and many more. The mild mannered D (AA) is a psychology major at Temple University, w/ 1 semester left till graduation. His study of psychology, philosophy, art, as well as his life story up to this point protrude into AA's retoric and vocalization. He has performed all over his home base of Philadelphia, as well as Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and LA. He has been part of many a charity event, including Jobs With Justice and the Save Darfur Coalition. And so, in conclusion, AA has been at it for mucho long time and has been grinding and trying super duper hard just to do what makes him happy and find something unseen and unknown that feels as if it seems to be missing."

"Last week at the Balcony I listened and watched as Devin Asher Cohen — the Alien Architect best known for his Michael Franti-like voice and vividly electric band — stripped it all down to congas, violin and saxophone. And I was floored.........Loving that alien."
