About me: Kelan Phil Cohran was born in Oxford, Mississippi on May 8, 1927. He is a jazz musician, musicologist, composer, instrument designer, holistic health advocate, and community activist. He is known most for his Affro-Arts Theater, Artistic Heritage Ensemble, trumpet contributions in the Sun Ra Arkestra in Chicago (1959-1961), and as one of the cofounders of the AACM.
"Kelan Phil Cohran (KPC) is a "sphereologist". He conined the phrase to describe his lifework which explores the harmonies of all matter. This harmony is manifested in many forms of the Creation such as stars and planets. Music is the one tool that brother Kelan has used to explore the Creation and to reinforce its beauty, power, and spiritual joy.
He sums it up best in the following statement.
African people have been involved in singing and playing instruments since the entire span of their known existence (at least 4 million years). Many of the problems living together were solved over generations thru the language of song. All of the art forms of antiquity were part of harmonic life (singing, dancing, painting, and sculpting). Today we have music in abundance that lacks purpose. We lost the respect and the power of our ancestors in these spiritual sciences. As a result instead of benefiting from proper use of art we self-destruct as toxicities from harmful thoughts, sounds, and images contaminate the mind with negative energies. It is time for enlightened artist to step forward to share their light.
I hope to use the influence I have on the artistic community to stimulate creativity in the same bed as mortality and purpose. The energy in today’s world demands a voice of reason, consultation, a voice of vision, a voice of concern. It is the responsibilities of all of us to reshape the world we live in according to the cosmic order captured in music, art, and culture. Cosmic order is in everything from the smallest discernable cell to the vastness of the universe. Responsibility lies on the artists who are the social architects of the world. We are experiencing a change of processes, a change of the social order, the mass media coverage of the Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina was an awakening, we are 1world facing the gaze of enlightened people. We are known longer isolated we can know longer afford to live by the concepts of the past. It is time for us to present a balanced view on humanity".
