Patrick Kosmos

About

As a child Patrick Kosmos was fascinated by the universe and space travel and he even then wanted to translate his overwhelming feelings about infinity in music. In the early seventies he started to experiment with the first generation of analogue synthesizers, inspired by the musicians of the Berlin school. His musical ideas began to take shape and before long he found himself amidst numerous keyboards and other sophisticated electronic instruments. Patrick Kosmos started his musical voyage in the mid-1970’s with Sherab, a band combining traditional Eastern music and first generation synthesizers. He kept on discovering soundscape after soundscape and his albums won him appraisals on both sides of the Atlantic. Patrick Kosmos has an impressive track record: 4 albums on the legendary IC label of Klaus Schulze. His album Cosmic Resonance sold 600.000 units. He performed in over 250 international concerts. His compositions are found on over 40 compilation-albums, alongside Peter Gabriel, David Sylvian, Enigma, Brian Eno, Ryuchi Sakamoto, and many more great artists. Patrick Kosmos died in January 2015.
