The element of layering has been used in different art forms where the same word or image gives different messages. Kosmoratik began as an experiment in Oslo on how the same element can be applied in music. This was the year 2011 when the trio of Lise Lotte, Eivind Johansen and Odd Gunner began working together.
The group released their first album in 2012 which was entitled gravitation. It incorporated symphonic pop and classical rock, a blend that produced sincere and epic melodies. The main instruments in their songs are oboe, string quartet and acoustic guitar. Expert combination of these sounds resulted in a classical symphony that was described by some listeners as delicious. This experiment can be considered successful because it has won them admiration across generations.
Following the success of the first album, the second was eagerly waited. It came under the title Bridges and Boats with a fresh and innovative approach. It was an incredible borrowing from the 60s and 70s pop style which was psychedelic. This music managed to identify and communicate the feelings of listeners in this era. There was intentional use and combination of words, sounds and melody.
The themes explored by music from this band are complex. They are able to communicate a different message on the surface and behind the words on their lyrics. The borrowing from symphonic pop and incorporation of the element of pop makes their music to stand out. It is not the traditional pop but an inventive rock with classical affiliation.
Eivind Johansen has been with the group since formation and played a crucial role in its success. He is an excellent arranger who expertly combines the wind and string instrument sounds into superb melodies. This gives the music a unique and wide range that continues to win them a larger following with every track. The resulting ballads have an excellent pop feel.
On the keyboard is Gunner Odd who is also excellent on the guitar. He is a multi-talented instrumentalist. He works with Eivind on the arrangements to produce music with a cross-generational appeal, a classical rock and symphonic pop feel. Lise Lotte is able to sway between alternate rock and classical jazz, thanks to her natural and wide vocal range. She achieves these results in a seamless way and her voice continues to get better over time.
The success of the first album has created excitement with their fan base growing from one performance to the other. This has seen them perform on different world stages in sold out concerts. Their major influences are Nick Drake and John Martyn as individual performers. They seek to emulate the success of Beatles with their magical pop.
Poetry is a unique part of their lyrical formulation. It is informed by poets who produced timeless classics and reigned supreme during their era. They included Hafez and Rumi. Their music is available online for live streaming and purchase. What makes this music to stand out is the ability to communicate easily by blending words and different sounds into a classical symphonic pop.
