Classical Tunes Of Kosmoratik Band

By Marci Glover


Epic music results from composure during composition and careful choice of words and sounds. The style adapted by Kosmoratik band has enabled them to win a large following across generations. They began in 2011 in Oslo as a musical experiment. The three pioneering members, Lise Lotte, Eivind Johansen and Odd Gunner, wanted to test how layering can apply in music. Their experiment bore fruits and resulted in music that is deep endearing.

The first fruits of the layering experiment were seen in 2012 with the release of Gravitation, their first album. This opened doors for them to tour the world through concerts. The number of fans has increased to involve people from different generations. Their musical style involves a combination of symphonic and classical rock. Their most prominent sounds are oboe, acoustic guitar and string quartet. The influence of the group has grown due to a professional approach to composition.

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 themes handled in songs by this group are deep and a bit complex. The concept of layering has been fully exploited giving each song or lyric a double meaning. The second album still incorporates the element of classical and symphonic rock leading to very addictive music. Bridges and Boats shows an incredible improvement and mastery of what was experimented in the first album.

Johansen is a pivotal member of the pioneering trio and has played a huge part in its success. His reputation as an arranger has seen their songs break records on chats. Every track presents a unique sound and melody that is superb to the ears. There is an element of ballad in his compositions.

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.
