Cosmo

Hey Mate, We should have a chat one day, as I think I would be mesmerized by the artistic connections and stories you would have would be mind-blowing. I am a retro-Futurisic sort of artist and tend to touch the esoteric, but damn, I appreciate the Histoire and ennui of what you have experienced. In my University days, I DJ'ed at the radio station. I met the local talent at the time in NYC, Pepi Marcello of the "Good Rats", who was promoting his own Son's band Marcello, and told me about the upcoming album from Meatloaf on CBS (Bat out of Hell 2). My friend drummed for the Rosenburgs before they kicked him out, as they were on the cusp of success. I served Dee Snyder and his Wife when I worked at Costco on Long Island Many years ago, and they were the absolute nicest people. Every time, I was so impressed as he trekked up to Quebec to sing with Isabelle Boulay on a Quebec T show last year. I moved to Quebec when I met and married my wife (Who used to sing Opera and introduced me to that world), and have loved the music up here as well. I love listening to the new and weird music of the world, and remixed and influenced a few artists, but mostly now I putter around and try to give some sage wisdom to the willing here on Looperman. I took a break for about 8 months as both my parents passed in the last year, and I found it hard to be inspired to write again.

Hi Cosmo,
First of all, warm greetings to your wonderful wife, Vicki!
This is a fantastic song you've shared with us. It has a wonderful, jazzy yet bluesy drive that instantly transports us to the atmosphere of a club. I love those slightly smoky, seductive tones and the rhythmic twists you've woven into the piece.
And I'll echo the last greeting: Good night everyone!

Warm regards, Manuela

Beautiful song, smooth as silk. Enjoyed listening and relaxing before heading to work. Congrats!

So sweet, my friend, I needed this after an intense day back from PTO today. I had a nice Quebec gin & Tonic, listening to some sweet, sweet jazz from you. You have about 3 years on me in the Looperman timeline, but I appreciate this fine music in this fine music. Salut mon ami!

What a lovely track and how good to read you've been part of this community for so long!

Cosmo! So its 3am and this got me feeling some type of way! This is a sonic feast. Especially with that upright bass. My new track Im putting the final touches has an acoustic bass.

The journey of this track is totally over the top. Very well done!

Thanks for sharing this masterpiece.

Mark

Nice bass is that a double? this is so smooth man i like it
very nice in relaxed till 1,40 then we bring it up a bit again very cool man then back into the smoothness great track you have produced i enjoyed my listen thanks for the share :)

great vibe my brother ! i feel the passion and the flugel horn which always reminds me of Chuck M, i like it very much !

Ive learned alot about music from my brother over the years, Id follow him around to band practice and later on, id sit by him while he was on the computer making music and id ask him a million questions. Out of the many things i learned, the most important to me was when he said to listen to music with more than just my ears, and also that music truly rewards those with an open mind. Then i joined the community here and I understand those things even more now. Ive been introduced to alot of different types of music that id not heard before, and now i also take inspiration from all sorts of things. I thought it was important to explain that before my actual comment. Because the artistry on display here is mind blowing, and without those early lessons i might not have understood how to truly hear it. Another huge benefit for me is working with so many talented people from different places around the world, and it looks like this song has some diverse creative minds behind it, as well. Superb from start to finish and a great of example of what collaboration should look and sound like. I really like it, to say the least. Thanks for sharing Cosmo

Cosmo! So lets approach this from a different perspective. Imagine instead of the piano and synth, you're behind the controls in the cockpit. I'm your passenger. Long story short, THIS WAS ONE SMOOTH RIDE! 35 years? That hit home with me. You already know about my musical hiatus for about 40 years.

What popped with this was that draw me in entrance. Then you got this point/counterpoint business going on throughout with the synth bass and piano/synth melodies which you did superbly. For me that gave it a what I call a "wheel within wheel clockwise/counterclockwise feel" CREATIVE!. The statement you made is "I'm Baaaaaack" ! The point for the come back at 2:24 was flaming! Yes very well liked indeed.

I received your failed email attempt. Let me know when you're reachable again. Tell Vicki hello.

Stay safe and blessed,

Mark

A killer jazz track - all the components are well-balanced and you did real good on the piano. The brass, in particular is divine. Kudos to you and I bet Mark will love it.

I have an idea that Id be MUCH more rusty if I hadnt touched a microphone for like 5 years, let alone 35. Jeez man, we're not worthy. lol

Well, Im sure he will enjoy this one. My experience with jazz comes solely from this website, with Kingmt77 and the collabs that 1Godfather and DanMed did that feature alot of saxophone and jazz vibes. I gotta say, I really dig it. Especially since I didnt much care for the saxophone prior to listening to those pieces. You did well here, especially with it being unassisted piano. Piano and guitar are my top 2 when it comes to actually playing real instruments, Ive got 25 years of experience with the guitar. This made me want to hear some more jazz type songs, so youve done really well here.

nice jazz Cosmo, the intro gets you straight away, nice dedication to Mark, he is a truly good friend respected in the community and a fantastic artist and i can here the inspiration you took, Mark is great with soloing instruments especially brass like horns and trumpet, so nice touch in reflecting that, good work my friend, enjoyed my listen

This is awesome! Something for everyone. Youre quite the mixologist. The sax and strings are stellar. Keep going!

Mark

Cosmo - we contacted u thru ur LM email

IDK how I missed this one. I take my inspiration from alot of different places, many of which seem unlikely. But that's why I love music so much, and why I've been making music all my life. A 100% true story - my first words were "I wanna Rock" because I would hear that Twisted Sister song all the time. I swear, and people dont believe it, but its true. Destiny, man. Anyway, this song is inspiring, the structure and the thought process that put it together especially. My producer mind sees that stuff right away, while my musician mind appreciates the melodic elements. So well made it's shiny. Well done sir.

btw i sent you an email to the new address you gave me

Cosmo - I would be delighted to listen. Oli and I are having a meet this week and we will listen all the way through and feedback. Best wishes from Kay and Oli

Portrays the chaotic confusion of the aftermath of a passing, as well as possibly, the chaos of the afterlife journey itself. That female vocal is divine and so emotional. A tapestry of soundscape, love and respect.

I forgot to add that I agree with u on the last man standing sentiment (I am, along with my brother) as well as the dogs. I have a dog and a cat, and if anyone meant them harm, theyd find the wrath of every deity in every pantheon coming for them, same as I would any friend or family member. Thank u for your insight, man.

Hey Cosmo, its easier if I just send u an email with links, so that I did. Especially since 1 of the 4 songs is no longer on the site :(

I hope u like them as much as we do.

U can find those song on The Monzder Squadd's track list here on Looperman

great track Cosmo, and a great tribute to your sister, she would have been my soulmate i tend to create chaos wherever i go, it follows me around, like a shadow but all the chaos hassle and issues i have, made me the person i am today, im sure it was the same for your sis and its refreshing to here a banging track with great bass and tempo and not some funeral dirge, your work is of a high standard since your return I've heard all yours and none have disappointed, this is a top piece and right up my street mate

Hello Cosmo, Firstly, Im sorry for your loss, man. I understand, and it must be said that the message hits close to home for me. Ill leave it at that as this is a tribute and my tribute now as well. I liked it from start to finish.
Also, Im glad Rita liked it as well, I thought at some point during the song that it reminds me of some of her songs. She is one of my favorite people and collaborators, (and an honorary member of The Monzder Squadd) and if u want to hear some of my best work, see The Monzder Squadd's track list for 4 different songs featuring Ms.Rita. Theyre very much worth hearing. As for this one, I have someone close to me I want to share it with, so I will return to it very shortly. Thank you brother.

This is my personal taste with Chasing forever at number 1
Chasing forever
Snooze u lose
Scar u carve
Drowning

Beautiful Women is a nice track also.
