The Beautiful Sounds Of Kosmoratik Band

By Anita Ortega


The element of layering has been used in different art forms where the same word or image gives different messages. Kosmoratik began as an experiment in Oslo on how the same element can be applied in music. This was the year 2011 when the trio of Lise Lotte, Eivind Johansen and Odd Gunner began working together.

The first album was released in 2012 under the title gravitation. It captures a combination of symphonic pop and classic rock to result in an epic and sincere melody. It has a heavy inclusion of acoustic guitar, oboe and string quartet. These sounds are expertly combined to produce a musical delicacy that borders classical symphony. Such careful combination has resulted in an endearing melody that has won fans for the band across the world.

Their most anticipated second album was released under the title Bridges and Boats. It is a continuation of the same style but more inventive and fresh. It borrows heavily from the pop style of the 60s and 70s and achieves their aim of communicating or identifying with the feelings of listeners. Pop music in the 60s and 70s was composed by thoughtful writers who took time to know what listeners wanted. The rock was psychedelic beyond showing a lot of intent and depth during composition.

The music used by this band allows them to explore deep and complex themes. This is achieved through select melodies and sounds that allow multiple interpretations of their songs. The endearing nature of their music results from the symphonic pop influence and the classical rock feel. It is a progressive approach while preserving the traditional grandiose of symphonies.

Pioneer members of the band include Johansen Eivind who has been a strong figure since formation. He is known for his string arrangement as well as being an excellent song writer. He manages to capture and combine a wide range of wind and string instruments in an excellent way to produce incredible results. This creates moving ballads with a smattering pop feel.

On the keyboard is Gunner Odd who is also excellent on the guitar. He is a multi-talented instrumentalist. He works with Eivind on the arrangements to produce music with a cross-generational appeal, a classical rock and symphonic pop feel. Lise Lotte is able to sway between alternate rock and classical jazz, thanks to her natural and wide vocal range. She achieves these results in a seamless way and her voice continues to get better over time.

Bridges and Boats has been anticipated by the global audience following the success of Gravitation. Their performances across the world have been outstanding with their concerts filling to capacity. They cite John Martyn and Nick Drake as their major influences in their performance styles. They also seek to replicate the success of Beatles as a performing group.

There is a lot of poetry in the lyrics of the songs by the band. This influence comes form renowned poets like Rumi and Hafez. Music by this band is available online to buyers or for the purpose of live streaming. Their music stands out because of layered lyrics that carry multiple meaning. The melody is endearing and supported by carefully selected sounds.
