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 themes tackled by the band are deep and complex. Their songs can be interpreted in a number of ways and are endearing with their symphonic influence. The songs carry a deep classical rock feel but with a hint of progressive nature. The team has managed to preserve their symphonic approach regardless of the level of experiment.

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.

Odd Gunner is a multi-talented instrumentalist whose prowess and passion are on the guitar. He also works with Johansen to arrange the tracks during production stage. Lise Lotte is an incredible vocalist who has conquered the world at competitive stage. She has the unique ability to shift from classical rock to jazz. Her voice is unique and memorable with a very wide range.

Anticipation for Bridge and Boats was escalated by the love for Gravitation. The tours and concerts that followed the release of the first album have won the band more fans. Members quote John Martyn and Nick Drake as their role models. They also seek to emulate the success and performance style of the Beatles in order to rule the music of their generation.

Poetry is a major part of the lyrics by this team. Renowned poets like Rumi and Hafez have greatly influenced this aspect. Their music is distributed through online stores and internet radios. The melody and lyrics indicate a unique sense of composure and careful choice when they were being developed.
