The Different Sound That Kosmoratik Produces

By Agnes Franco


In today's music world, too often do you hear the same thing being played on the radio. It is as if the music industry has gotten hold of a formula and people have been programmed to hear what they are supposed to hear. If you wish to hear a fresh listen, however, the sound of Kosmoratik can be a good try.

This musical project has been based in Oslo. As a band, they have been known both as a performing and a recording artist too. They have since been credited for the introduction of complex theme to an otherwise, redundant, repetitive pattern which the music business today seem to have adopted.

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 also been considerably influenced by progressive rock- especially the ones which have been identified as first wave. However, it can be noticed that their musical framework is more grounded towards pop. However, the rock influence is considerable in the music they create.

As a band, the kind of music that they've been known to produce is considered to be of the symphonic pop sub-genre. Often, they make use of the blends of acoustic guitars, oboes, and string quartets. In addition, these are blended together to create a somewhat rock approach.

It has been noticed that the group is trying to create a forward looking and at the same time fresh music to their audiences. Instead of following into the same overly used pattern of sounds and rhythms these days, they opt to be different. In addition, they consider making music in honor of those who have inspired them.

Hence, in today's world where people tend to be exposed to music that gas since been considered as generic, Kosmoratik offers people a different and a better choice. The kind of music they offer is something that people can appreciate and relate to despite the seemingly generic choices they usually have. The group's first album, Gravitation, has just been currently released.
