Beautiful 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 band rewarded their fans with their first album in 2012. It received incredible reviews and air play. It also enabled them to tour the world and perform in sold-out concerts. They gave it the title Gravitation. The common style in the album was symphonic pop and classic rock which resulted in epic tunes. The group has dominantly incorporated oboe, string quartet and acoustic guitar in each of their songs. The sound combination is professional and produces beautiful music that has won the hearts of followers from all age groups.

The first album made fans hungry for more music. This is the push that saw them release a second album that was titled Bridges and Boats. The second album has a lot of classical and symphonic rock elements and has also won a larger following. They have tried to incorporate elements from the 60s and 70s rock as well as give the songs a progressive rock feel. A combination of specially selected words and professionally composed music has resulted in a ground breaking second album.

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.

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.
