Getting To Know The Kosmoratik Sound

By Agnes Franco


Music as heard today has since been considered something generic. Why, one can almost hear the same sounds being played on the air- only with different lyrics and sung by a different person. This is the reason that Kosmoratik wants to be different.

Known as a musical project, this is a group that is also considered as a recording, as well as a performing band. They are currently based in Oslo and have since been trying to introduce complex themes to their musical framework. This is defiantly one of the things that many music today lack of.

This group has cited the influences of certain songwriters which they have credited for molding them into the musicians they are now. Songwriters like John Martyn and Nick Drake have influenced them. At the same time, they have also credited the Beatles as one of their influences.

kosmoratik has stated that they have been influenced by the sounds produced by the first wave rock. Hence, their music may have the heavier undertone and intensity which rock sounds are most identified with. However, their sound can be generally identified as pop in nature.

The band can be considered a symphonic pop group. The sound that they have been able to produce often makes use of string quartets, oboes, and acoustic guitars. These are then joined together to form into a sort of rock band approach.

This group has also been known to create a music that of considered forward looking. They have also been committed towards producing a sound that is considered to be fresh among its audiences. After all, they are intent towards honoring the memories of those artists which have significantly influenced them.

Kosmoratik has since been playing music for their love of music. Hence, in the music world where capsule formulas may be the main ticket to success, they strove to be different. Their first album has just been release and is called Gravitation.
