Bio / Background
"This is the best music of any variety that I've heard in years! Exceptional work. Extremely captivating and entertaining arranging and composition, its dense, but it has enough of a light sensibility to still be perfect for fun."

"The feel is loose over such a tight structure. It just creates this awesome experience. plus, it helps that the music is just beautiful."

Cosmo D creates ever-evolving electronic beatscapes using computers, synths and various acoustic instruments. Since Cosmo D is primarily a cellist, cello is one of the main ingredients in his stew, but his music has a whole bunch of different textures. Cosmo D's songs have unique arcs that are constantly evolving. His melodies and themes are always soulful and memorable.
↓ more ↓Songs like “Secret Council” mix two-cello counterpoint with almost Kanye-informed beats, Latin auxilliary percussion and max/msp processing, all while carrying Cosmo's soaring melodies and snaking bass lines. “Time For Some Eyes” is a fast-paced scream of tightly controlled autoharps, musique-concrete, and distorted organ that gives way to a quiet, lofty cello and piano duet slowly enveloped by foggy synths. Subtle elements and textures in “Plantastic Joyage” reveal themselves over time and repeated listens offer further rewards from D's detailed soundscapes.
Cosmo D's sound is formed from heavy listening of electronic artists like the Books, Matmos, Amon Tobin and Mouse on Mars. His background as a classically trained cellist has led him on to composers like Steve Reich, John Adams and Toru Takemitsu. His explorations in jazz and improvised music in New York got him interested in John Zorn, fellow cellist Erik Friedlander and even cellist/dance music producer Arthur Russell.
The first in a series of constantly evolving creative works, “Plantastic Joyage” channels Cosmo's musical and life influences into a unique 45-minute whole.
