Understanding The Foundation Of Kosmoratik Band

By Lora Jones


The style of play used by Kosmoratik band can be described as progressive or experimental rock. The original home for the band is Norway and resulted as an experiment to test the possibility of layering in music. They have managed to use different instruments with varying sounds to produce a distinctive effect that is only attributable to them.

Notable influences in the lives and compositions of this group include John Martin as well as Nick Drake. They have heavily borrowed the pop band aspect from the Beatles who are known to have ruled the airwaves for decades. Notable sounds in their collection include acoustic strings, guitar and oboe. They are selectively and professionally combined to produce unique tastes in music.

The sounds of the band have not been swallowed by influences from the individuals or other groups. They still sound fresh and charming with a distinctive taste. This is only possible through professionalism and the desire to remain unique.

The name is derived from a unique nineteenth century exhibition technique called cosmorama. Such aspects as exotic objects, landscapes and distant lands were given a special effect by viewing them through special optical devices. They acquired a unique depth and presence that brought them to life. They have transferred this element by using different instruments and professional deliberate music arrangement.

The other distinctive element of cosmorama is the ability to understand balance in nature as an element of time. Internal landscapes are seen to arrive and depart through a natural time frame. They have a central part in life but they also depart at an appropriate time.

The maiden album released by this group was called gravitation. It is considered definitive just as gravity is to nature. It underlines the centrality of this strong yet non-physical force that controls all activities in the universe. It provides the cosmic powers to give stability to nature. That is what the group seeks to achieve despite use of a number of instruments and musical aspects.

The band boosts of the immense talent of three musicians who have a rich back ground. Eivind Johansen is the founder. He is a celebrated vocalist and song writer. He is excellent on the piano and produces the best sounds with the guitar. His inspiration in writing is drawn from such ancient artists as Hafiz-a poet, Lennon and Cohen.

Odd Gunnar is an excellent arranger and composer doing most of the structures for their songs. He has mastered the guitar, bass and piano to inject an excellent musical aspect to the group. The female voice is accredited to Lise Agedal whose alternation of Rock and Jazz during performance is exceptionally seamless. She has sung for a considerable long time and is also perfect on the keyboard.

May 2012 saw the release of Gravitation, the first album in the Kosmoratik collection. This gained them a fanatical following since their music is said to be tantalizing and charming. They have performed all over the world in sold-out concerts. Online stores have stocked most of their music. The group has found solid anchorage in their uniqueness.
