Beautiful Sounds 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 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 themes tackled by the band are deep and complex. Their songs can be interpreted in a number of ways and are endearing with their symphonic influence. The songs carry a deep classical rock feel but with a hint of progressive nature. The team has managed to preserve their symphonic approach regardless of the level of experiment.

Johansen Eivind is a pioneering member of the group and a pillar to its success. He is excellent with string and wind instrument arrangement and produces superb melodies. He masters the techniques and grows it with every track. He is responsible for the ballad feel in the songs.

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.

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.

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.
