Theme From Invisible Hand

The modern-music ensemble Heavy Color was founded by composer-producers Ben Cohen and Sam Woldenberg.  Their often surreal and cinematic compositions explore spiritual jazz, traditional music, electronic and avant-psychedelia.  Their first album Arise Ye Spiritual Machine (2014) re-contextualized archival music in a modern beat-tape format.  River Passage ( 2018) collaboration with musicians in Eastern Congo that combines elements of Afrobeat, minimalist Electronica, and futurist Hip Hop, spans physical environments, cultures and languages.  The project began in May 2015 when Cohen and Akili Jackson (Radiant City Arts) traveled to the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo as musical ambassadors for Earthwork Music. A three-year creative exchange led to the release of River Passage, the sales of which fund EDRC projects that support gender equity and fair wages for women in farming regions as well as an arts center for youth in the city of Bukavu that provides a safe space for teaching dance, recording technology skills and music lessons.  

In 2020 - Heavy Color was commissioned by the investigative journalism collective Public Herald to compose the score for Invisible Hand. In addition to the music for that documentary, Heavy Color also will release Soft Light, a recombination of 70’s fusion, meditations in pattern-based music, instrumental hip hop, and psychedelic pop.
