Classical Tunes Of Kosmoratik Band

By Marci Glover


Music requires something unique for the fans to feed on. This is an aspect that is clear to Kosmoratik band and can be seen in each one of their tracks. They have mastered the art of layering in order to give depth to their music. It gives the track a new sense of depth and allows every word to communicate something different. The pioneers of this band were Eivind, Lise Lotte and Gunner Odd who started as an experimental group. They are based in Oslo, from where they have been operating since 2011.

The first album hit the airwaves in spring of 2012 and was received positively by pundits. The number of fans won by this album ensured that their concerts in different cities were full to capacity. The album, entitled Gravitation was a combination of classic rock and symphonic rock. It was rated as epic with dominant sounds being string quartet, acoustic guitar and oboe. Professionalism in combining the sounds has brought out a rare classical element and won the band a larger following.

The first album opened a new chapter and ignited a hunger for their type of music. They managed to release a second album entitled Bridges and Boats which remained classical but experimented a little more. The songs were written in psychedelic version found in the 60s and 70s pop music. It carried a lot of feelings through careful selection of melody, words and sound instruments.

The band tackles complex and very deep themes. The concept of layering that was a flagship for the band allows the lyrics to have double meaning. Inclusion of the symphonic and classical rock feel as well as experiments with progressive rock has made the music more endearing. The second album is no longer an experiment but mastery of skills.

A pivotal member of the pioneering team is Johansen whose contribution cannot be understated. He has mastered the art of arranging for string instruments to produce the most incredible music. He produces something unique in every song through a combination of different sounds and layering them. This creates a ballad with world beating qualities.

Gunner Odd is an instrumentalist specializing in guitar. He also assists Johansen with arranging with the pair mastering the classical symphonic pop feel. Lisa Lotte is an excellent and seasoned vocalist who performed on major world stages before settling with the band. Her natural talent allows her to switch from alternate rock to classic jazz with no difficulty whatsoever. Her voice is distinct and endearing to listeners, especially her wide vocal range.

The global audience has been anticipating Bridges and Boats after having a feel of Gravitation. Their tours and concerts in different parts of the world have been outstanding. Among the mentors responsible for their success include Nick Drake and John Martyn. The band is impressed by their performance style and would love to emulate their success. As a band, they seek to trace the success of Beatles who beat everyone else during their era.

The poetic aspect in their lyrics is inspired by Hafez and Rumi. They were exemplary poets during their era. The music of this band is streamed online or distributed in neighborhood stores. It exemplifies composure, professionalism and deep thought at every level of preparation.
