Eli Cohn

Born into a family of listeners, this American sound artist has built a practice centered on perception, tone, and the spaces between. Rooted in a lifelong curiosity about how materials speak—wood, metal, air, and digital signals—the work often explores how everyday environments shape sonic experience. Across installations, field recordings, and intimate performances, the practice emphasizes listening as a collaborative act, inviting audiences to notice textures, rhythms, and subtle shifts in atmosphere. With a career grounded in curiosity rather than spectacle, the artist maintains a quiet rigor: refining methods, documenting processes, and presenting sound as a listening partner rather than a destination. The journey remains focused on the art of hearing itself.
