Understanding The Beat Of Kosmoratik Band

By Cathy Mercer


The art of layering inspired the Kosmoratik band to try it out with musical sounds. This is achieved through the use of a number of musical instruments and performing styles in order to produce a classical symphony. The experiments and choice of musical instruments has given the group a distinctive sound and an admirable musical taste. This style has been tried out in different musical genres and proven workable.

Layering was tried out using such instruments as acoustic guitar, oboe and string quartet. The result is an excellent harmony that is enriched with exceptional vocals by the singers. The melody is memorable in the ears of listeners. The band has fused classical rock elements which makes their performances energetic and gives them depth. A number of accomplished ancient artists have inspired these singers.

Eivind Johansen has been with the group since formation. He is an accomplished vocalist, lyrics writer and composer. He also has mastered the art of choosing words and giving them more meaning beyond the common ones. The resulting multiple interpretations allow the songs to apply in different occasions. This is one of the features that have distinguished the group.

Gunnar Odd is another performer who has been the anchor of the group with his perfection on the guitar. He doubles as a bass and keyboard player. His arrangement for woodwind and string instruments is commendable. This combination is unique and has been linked with the success of the band.

The vocal prowess of Liselotte stands out and has propelled the group since formation. She has an amazing ability to shift from jazz to rock and back while still holding the attention of listeners. This makes their live performances electrifying. Her teamwork with Eivind on harmony has created signature tunes for this group.

These artists have borrowed a lot from accomplished singers and poets. Their music borrows from Cohen and Lennon who were renowned during their days. The lyrics are written with the poetic prowess of Hafez and Lumi who were outstanding Persians of earlier centuries. The teamwork that gels a band has been borrowed from Beatles and they seek to replicate their success as well. Such combinations make them outstanding.

Choice of quality musical instruments guarantees excellent sounds. This is captured in their recorded albums and during live performances. Selectivity during production differentiates the group from others in the industry that are assembled in a hurry. Their concerts are anticipated world over and are usually totally sold out.

The first album released by this band was Gravitation and it hit the market in Spring 2012. It boosted their popularity a great deal with the professional preparation of their melodies from track to track. The quality of music was a perfect match for the expectations of the listeners.

Kosmoratik has ridden on the wave of a unique sound combination giving their fans something to wait upon. Their style is melodic, open and epic which is closely linked to progressive rock. There is something authentic and mystical in every track.
