Record producer and sound engineer Tony Cohen, who had a long and celebrated career working with Australian musicians including Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, the Go-Betweens and Paul Kelly, has died aged 60.
Tributes to Cohen, who won three ARIA awards, have begun flowing on social media following a statement on Twitter from his brother Martin, who said Tony Cohen “passed away peacefully in Dandenong Hospital” earlier this week.
“Tony was a legend of Australian music,” his brother wrote. “As brothers we were like chalk and cheese. But, I loved him and fully respect what he achieved in his career. He was technically brilliant, but also a caring, big-hearted man.”
Songwriter, singer and guitarist Kim Salmon, who worked with Cohen on several recording projects, including two Kim Salmon and the Surrealists’ albums in the mid-1990s and the Beasts of Bourbon, described Cohen as “a true great”, adding on his Facebook post it was “an absolute privilege working with him but an even greater honour to count him as a friend”…
