Musical Poems by Cosmic Bos June 2022 - Dusty Shelves, Fragments of a Fracture & How to Tie a Shoes

 Hello friends,

So June has been a month of waiting, waiting to hear about the Album in a month competition that we entered in May, waiting to release some video material (which we here at Cosmic Bos love doing). We will drop the video for Isle of Avalon as soon as the results are in, it will be in our podcast feed and I will no doubt blog about it too.

Anyway, in the meantime, here are 3 musical poems I made on TikTok, using poems from my notepad, and the cool cowboy voice effect.

DUSTY SHELVES


So that's a pan of Brooklands park right next to where I live, and the music is a little instrumental piece called Wordless Wisdom by Cosmic Bos.

FRAGMENTS OF A FRACTURE

Part 1

Part 2

A bit of guitar I recorded down the beach and then put the poem over.

And finally, my personal favourite, HOW TO TIE A SHOES


I have also just launched our new TikTok series called Filter Songs. Check back soon for more of that.

All on our TikTok of course, please go follow us there if you are a user.

Also, our podcast, please check that.


Peace and infinite love

The Album Writing Club Challenge - Singles playlist available now

 Hello friends,

So May was quite an intense month for Cosmic Bos, we took on the Lights and Lines Make an Album in a month challenge, meaning we had to put our 'Making of an Album' on hold, to make an album, hmm...

I kept a diary to go along with the month, and this will see the light of day soon, possibly in podcast form, possibly as a special download with the album, not sure exactly yet. Until then though, I thought it only appropriate to bring you up to speed with the competition.

So the playlist of artists that made it to the finish line is available on Soundcloud, I have embedded it here for your listening convenience. 

Have a listen to all these amazing songs, and then vote for your favourite here forms.gle/PgQ5RxDrTGmzsVis6 


The whole competition was arranged by Lights and Lines, a musical collective record label that have been doing their thing for not even a year and have released lots of material from a handful of specifically
selected bands and artists, run by Mike 5, who we know as part of the New Music Saturday Duo (along with Dr. Bones). 


Find out more about this competition on their website       https://www.headlightsandwhitelines.com 

We can't really talk much about our entry at the moment, once the results are out we will be more forthcoming with information, but until then, there is not much we can say.

Our entry in the Singles playlist is 'Isle of Avalon', and it is about the history of Glastonbury Tor and the surrounding area, known as the isle of Avalon (hence the title), and our album entry is '2 A.M, it's Mission Time'.


It is currently parading in front of the judges as well as the other 27 submissions. It was an absolute blast to be part of this competition and we can't wait to share our speedily constructed album with you, we are pretty proud of it and think you will hopefully all enjoy it too.

Have a wonderful week

Peace and infinite love

Andy (Cosmic Bos)
