Classical Tunes Of Kosmoratik Band

By Marci Glover


The choice of lyrics and sounds makes music lovable or despised. Kosmoratik has won the hearts of fans across generations by their multi-layered approach during composition. The group has its roots in Oslo, having started with Lise Lotte, Odd Gunner and Eivind Johansen in the year 2011. They sort to experiment on the possibility of employing layering in music.

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.

Fans wanted more music from them after the release of their first album. This pressure and success from the first album has fueled production of the second album under the title Bridges and boats. It has maintained the epic, symphonic and classical element that distinguishes the group. The band has taken the experiment further by trying out the 60s and 70s rock feel. The melodies are carefully selected and so are the words. Professional arrangement and melody patterns complete the incredible package.

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.

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.

The excellent sounds on each track in both albums are the work of Gunner Odd. He is an excellent guitarist and doubles as an arranger. On the vocals is Lise Lotte, a seasoned singer whose prowess began at an early age. Her talent is natural and allows her to switch seamlessly between classical jazz and rock. She has a captivating and endearing voice that is also distinct.

Gravitation raised the level of expectations from the second album. The fans who were attracted by the first album waited eagerly for the second. The inspiring artists for members of this team include John Martyn and Nick Drake. They cite their style as unique and progressive. As a group, they seek to be as successful as the Beatles who ruled their generation.

The lyrics in both Gravitation and Bridges and Boats are laced with a high dose of poetry. This is inspired by the works of such poets as Rumi and Hafez. Fans listen to their music online or by downloading from online stores. The music is as a result of professional composition, deep thought and a unique approach during production.
