Hello dear friend,
The summer of Bos continues with a little bit of improv courtesy of Andy and Joe in a secret garden.
It was a wonderful afternoon in July, where the music flowed like a river and the vibes where chill.
Peace be the journey

Bonjour Friends,
'Sir, France is 'cross the Sea, See' came out as a single at the same time as 'Vaccine', but it took us a little while to put the video together, but we got it done, and proudly present to you right here.
Music by Nick and Andy Jackson
Lyrics by Andy Jackson and Google Translate
We approached a good friend, Dean, and asked him to translate the lyrics into sign language, which he did amazingly. So now what we have is a Eurotrash inspired music video with a 'find the baby' game, a language lesson and a sign language lesson, all rolled up into one musical joint.
How many Theo's could you find?
Answers on a postcard to Paris please
Thanks for all the support, please share our podcast with everyone you ever meet, it helps it really does. Do it for Theo, more people need to see this wonderful French baby stereotype we have forced to dance in our silly video.
YouTube playlist of all the wonderful Improv Squared Music Video's we've made this year.
Peace and infinite love

Hello dearest friends,
Welcome to the blog that accompanies Cosmic Bos Improv Squared : Petite Champignon de Lumiere
The podcast with the most improvisation for your money, in their newest experiment, Cosmic Bos serve up an Inception level of improv, where it is mathematically stacked, layered up with extra instrumentation, and then presented in it's final song form for your very ears. It is improvisation, squared, hence its name.
For our first full helping of Improv Squared, we serve up 11 musical courses, ranging from the worldly starter, to the meaty main course, to the sweet desserts and back round again, in a strained metaphor that is bigger then the bowl it is trying to fill.
Here is the full tracklist:
On band camp you can buy the album from this link here.
We have been working away on video content for Improv Squared for a while now, with the first single we put out 'Faded Memories' being a simple one shot of Nick and I (Andy) playing the first round of the improvisation (Guitars and Vocal), we subsequently added Bass and Synths and another cheeky Electric Guitar to the mix in improv rounds 2 and 3. The lyrics were written by Dayne Howcroft, with the rough chord structure having been constructed before starting. A pretty loose Improv Squared, but it's a banger.
'Astral Underwear' was the third song released with a video, which is similar to Ensemble Story, except this time with some crazy overlays more like the improvisation videos with Joe Philogene. This track was the first Improv Squared song we ever made (although it was followed on the same evening by Ensemble Story).
'Forever Bruised' was the fourth song, and another lyric by Dayne Howcroft. This song was kept acoustic and raw, to reflect the depth of the lyrics, and the video is another one shot of just Nick and Andy (that's me, just in case you were unsure who was writing this blog).
'Vaccine' was the fifth song, and this one required some extra special video treatment. We have had Green Screen facemasks sitting around ready for a music video for a couple of years now, when facemasks became the fashion to have, we figured it only made sense to get green screen versions. So we did, but didn't really know what to do with them, until now, and the song 'Vaccine', which features Chris Mace coming on an improv squared adventure with us, and the Cosmic Bos Family Choir appearing in the trippy video.
Have a wonderful day
We love ya
Cosmic Bos

Stay Amazing
Hello lovely friends,
From the upcoming album
Improv Squared - Petit Champignon de Lumiere
Andy and Nick created this song using improvisation layering, the beat, bass and synth were played in first round, then vocals and more synth, then backing vocals. Filming each round, the video was made by boxing up the performance and overlaying some stock footage.
The lyric was prewritten by Andy in the Book of Songs (or BoS as we call it) and it reads a little something like this...
ASTRAL UNDERWEAR
 |
| Artwork by Dayne Howcroft |
But who cares?
The outside world is cruel and unfair
They stare
But no-one can see my astral underwear
I’m here
And simultaneously everywhere
I’m this
And everything else in between
Sit around, from sat to seated, shower, bed, repeat repeated
Counting days, rest is coming, long time been defeated
It’s hard on the head, cycling, work, home, bed
These energy levels are vastly depleted
Oh these energy levels are vastly depleted
While in astral clothing
Banish self loathing
Become anything you desire
Guarantee it will suit you
From flower to cashew
Be seagull, be water, be fire
Be anything you can desire
Be anything you can desire

And if you would like to feature in an upcoming Improv Squared song, email us at cosmicbos@gmail.com for details.
Astral Underwear is paired with another song 'Forever Bruised' which is available on Spotify, Amazon etc. and will get it's own video treatment next weekend. It is quite the polar opposite as far as songs go, with a raw acoustic sound and powerful lyrics by Dayne Howcroft.
Thanks for being awesome, we love ya
YouTube version for ya

P.S - Coming 1st March is the next instalment in our Making of an Album series, check it out.
Hell oh friends,
It's time for a music video, something we here at Cosmic Bos like to make to go along with our songs.
Ensemble Story - Cosmic Bos
Written and recorded by Andy and Nick Jackson
This song was one of the very first experiments in improv(squared) music creation. By improvising a 4 minute sound bed, Cosmic Bos layered on Guitar and Synth, followed by Bass and Vocal, and finally Backing Vocals, to create their 'Ensemble Story'.
Nick and Andy filmed themselves doing this, and that is what you are seeing in the video. Pure visual representation of music creation.
The lyrics were prewritten by Andy, and they go a little something like this:

Hello friends,
Ahead of the introduction episode of 'Making of an Album', Cosmic Bos present to you 'Faded Memories'
Music by Andy and Nick Jackson
Lyrics and Artwork by Dayne Howcroft
This is the A side to the double A side single released 1st Feb 2022, along with its A sided brother 'Ensemble Story'.
The first taster of our upcoming Improv(squared) project, 'Faded Memories' was a poem that Dayne Howcroft gave to Andy Jackson to turn into a song, along with another poem that will appear on the album. Constructed quickly, Andy and Nick recorded the guitars and vocals first, before adding bass and synths (and another cheeky guitar). In a matter of half hour the song was all recorded, then Nick did the producer thing and Bam! Song done.
FADED MEMORIES by Dayne Howcroft
Fourteen years old, the picture was clear
All set for adventure, no need to fear
With total control of the road ahead
The future was never a dream to dread
Wasting time on a hot summers dayNo wasted laughter, my mind portrayedA life of freedom, with hope and meaningThat picture gave me, something to believe in
Time slipped slowly, right through my handsBack then I could never quite understandHow life can be brutal, how life can be cruelI guess I forgot the golden rule
Never look back and regret what is doneBecause life can be beautiful if you're willing to run

Hello dear friends,
I (Andy) like to take the first week of the year to reflect on the highs and lows of the previous, and ponder the things I wish to achieve in the upcoming. I find it very therapeutic and mindful, allowing the inputs that truly matter to me (my family and friends) to guide my thoughts towards realistic achievable goals.
For 2022 I want to do something a bit different. Cosmic Bos have completed 3 full seasons of improv music podcasting, so following the route of the farmers, we shall let the improvisation field have a year off, and instead we shall be focusing on making an album, a normal, what other bands do, album.
We have been planning this for a while, and the album already has a title 'The O Door'.
Last year, Nick and I made an EP, 'Virtual Normality', as a test to see if we could take on the task of an album on our own. It went pretty well, with several of our best songs of '21 being on it, including the sublime 'Ride Another Wave' (the closing track) which is about the night Theo was born.
Ride Another Wave is our Prologue to 'The O Door', which we will be working on across the whole of 2022, with our proposed release date being 1st January 2023.
What does this mean for Cosmic Bos Improv Music Podcast Season 4?
Well, it's going to be like a documentary kind of year, with us launching 'Making of an Album', an 8 part Podcast Documentary about how we make an album, charting the whole process from Writing to Recording, Production to Release. It should be a fun ride, with the Introduction episode coming February.
 |
| Still from Bos Live #1 (2021) |
Then we will launch into our Season long presentation Cosmic Bos: Making of an Album
Which will also nicely dovetail into the other thing we will be doing in 2022. We've opened up the side fields in my farmer metaphor, and started planting a new crop, which we are lovingly calling 'Improv²'
The first tracks from this new improv crop will be along with the first episode of our Making of an Album series, with a full special Improv² episode coming in April.
So as you can see, a big year planned for us at Cosmic Bos.
Thanks for being awesome, we love you
Peace and infinite love
Cosmic Bos (Andy)
Hello dear friend,
Welcome to the blog with the most, um, stuff about Cosmic Bos, and in particular, the goings on of Cosmic Bos across the year of 2021. The third year of our improv music shenanigans went to some interesting places, and we have compiled down from the 67 tracks we released this year, the 18 we think are the bestest.
3 years of podcasting - https://cosmicbos.libsyn.com - so many years to go.
Wowza! What a thing it is.
 |
| Cover for Season 3's Best of. |
So friends,
The end of the year is near, and 2021 has been one hell of a one indeed.
To end our musical adventure for season 3 of our podcast, we present to you Cosmic Bos Improvisation 4: The COVID 1920's
Improvisation 4: The COVID 1920's
There are a few videos still to come from our COVID 1920's exploration, with Broken by Desire, Thinking Solutions and Brand New all having vids we've made. Here is Higher Frequency featuring footage from Mark of Zorro from 1920.
Peace and infinite love
Cosmic Bos
P.S - We are planning to do our Best of Season 3 in December this year rather than hanging it over to next year, so we can start fresh with an exciting new thing we have in our bag of tricks.
Thanks for all the support in 2021, we love you.
Hello friends,
I hope the summer is treating you well
We here at Cosmic Bos have been busy recording an EP (coming very soon), as well as our next Improvisation podcast, so plenty of new material coming up in the near future.
In between this though, we have been having jams on the beach with Kalimbas.
Kalimba Beach Jam #1
Kalimba Beach Jam #2
Kalimba Beach Jam #3
It has been great fun playing the Kalimba, and it makes a big appearance in our next improvised album (which we've recorded already but not mixed yet, or worded up with wisdom).
Big thanks to Joe Philogene for being such a legend, he truly has made 2021 an exciting year of musical exploration and Cosmic Bos wouldn't be the same without him.
Coming Up next: An EP, some silliness in video form, and more.
Peace and infinite love
Andy (Cosmic Bos)
Hello dear friend,
You are looking lovely today, have you done something with your third eye?
Well, it's August now, and time for another couple of hours of improvised music with a sprinkling of wise words from 4 very powerful speakers.
Tracklist:
All music improvised by Cosmic Bos
Joe Philogene - Percussion, Ngoni and various instruments
Nick Jackson - Electric and Acoustic Guitar, Synth and Vocals
Andy Jackson - Electric and Acoustic Guitar, Synth and Vocals
On the 5th June 2021, Cosmic Bos met at a secret location to record the third in their fully improvised series, with a book full of pre-written lyrics and plenty of snacks. It was a wonderful afternoon of musical exploration, and here for your pleasure is the whole thing, including some of the intros and outros that usually get cut off, there is about 20 mins of it, that is not present on the album version.
The words of wisdoms for this episode where lovingly borrowed from YouTube, with Charlie Chaplin's speech being from the film The Great Dictator (1940) and available on youtube many times, with music accompanying it. Nelson Mandela's speech from his release from prison in 1990 also comes from youtube and shares far to many similarities to Chaplin's speech from 50 years before. Which leads us to Greta Thunberg from December 2019 addressing the UN on Climate Change, with echos of both Chaplin and Mandela.
So as not to feel too down and out about the state of the world and the people that patrol it, the final Words of Wisdom comes from Ram Dass, an ever reliable source of great wisdom. The full Ram Dass speech can be found on the Here and Now podcast, link to the specific episode right here.

Hello space babies,
How are you doing? Enjoying yourself?
Well, it's time for us to all get a little bit spacey and reconnect with our inner child, or inner baby, a bit of preverbal exploration of existence.
Space Babies! The first single from our upcoming album Cosmic Bos Improvisation 3: Summadelica
Music improvised by Joe Philogene (Percussion), Nick Jackson (Electric Guitar and Synth) and Andy Jackson (Acoustic Guitar and Vocals)
Video starring Theodore Jackson as Space Baby and Andrea Jackson as Space Baby Momma

| Season 3 podcast cover starring Theo 'Space Baby' Jackson |
Flying through space
Feel no air at my waist
The pressures are gone
Freedom swims along
Imagination
Mental elevation
Whole worlds shall dissolve
New empires unfold
It’s a game, we’re just playing
It’s a laugh, we’re all staying
We need truth, I’m just saying
Flying through space
Like a babies first taste
No sense letting the pressure
Stop exploring together
Imaginations
Create greater nations
Cooperating peacefully
Will be achieved eventually
It’s quite hard, entertain us
These dragons sent for slaying
Are our reason for staying
Space, need plenty of space
Babies gotta taste
For that infinite space
...
No Babies or Cows were adversely affected during the making of this video, however, one of the cows did spontaneously turn inside out yesterday, but that was nothing to do with the video, purely coincidental.
The idea for this video had been bouncing around the Cosmic Bos camp for a little while, originally it was to have been adults swimming in space, but when Theo came along and melted our hearts with his theodorableness it became a no brainer to get him to be our test subject for green screen based space flight, somewhat cheaper then Bezos, Branson and Musk, we managed to send Theo in to space without a rocket or a suit, and judging by his reactions he was loving his time floating round the cosmos meeting cows and aliens and just generally having a little swim in space.
The deeper meaning behind all this lovely babies in space stuff has to do with our very own entry points to this reality, could we all just be space babies that have plugged in to this 3D spectrum to have a human experience for a bit, before we return to space babiedom and find another playground to have an existential experience in? Maybe baby. Worth some pondering for sure.
As a baby, the possibilities remain infinite, it is only time and interactions that shape the infinite into the finite, crushing the language paradigm, the visual realm, the mental capability to do literally whatever you can imagine, all slowly moulded out of us. But, a Baby shows you this, and for a brief moment you can remember what it is like to be free of all pressure.
Find your inner space baby and go on an adventure, share this experience far and wide so that all can be reminded how amazing we all are really.
Peace and infinite love

Also sub our podcast for some light finger exercise.
Also also, here is the YouTube link if the podcast one up above was giving you problems. Have a happy existence.
So friends,
The conclusion of the Sunrise Reflections comes in the form of 2 songs, the penultimate track being Clearly Designed, and the final song being Pinata of Troy.
Clearly Designed - Cosmic Bos Improvisation
Ngoni - Joe Philogene
Electric Guitar - Nick Jackson
Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson
After the deep thinking soul soothing antics of Ram Dass, it is time for the smokey wisdom of Cosmic Bos, with Joe using his Hunters Harp to hold the song together, Andy and Nick help build the tapestry. At the end of our musical/visual journey we are at our most burnt out, and beautiful colourful smoke carries our almost final musical opus away, the sun sets and the day is done, after the next one (Piñata of Troy).
The entire visual presentation is available on our YouTube page (please sub us, we Lub a good Sub)
https://www.youtube.com/cosmicbos
Here are the lyrics which were written prior to the musical improv.
Clearly Designed - by Andy Jackson
Waiting out another cycle Too many layers to this trifle Clearly designed and built to shine But socially easy to stifle
Wear the honour like a hat There really is no shame in that Clearly designed and made to shine You’re the hipster coolest cat
Normally the normal me Would embrace all that I can see The signs are all designed clearly Proving this ain’t reality
Save your memories in a chest One day it will be all that’s left Clearly refined preserved design Testament to your dying breath
Normally the normal me Gets swept up in catastrophe Of late though I’ve designed clearly A proclaimed self sufficiency
Systems trotted out and barely tested Propping up the failed reinvested A clear design fault finally been bested Medal goes to third, the hairy chested
Normally the normal me Gets glitched out by bad latency On this occasion I’ll agree To check this was designed clearly
...
and finally...
Pinata of Troy - Cosmic Bos
The final track from Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections sees the sun setting on our adventure and the Pinata being gifted to Troy.
Percussion - Joe Philogene
Electric Guitar and Synth - Nick Jackson
Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson
PIÑATA Of TROY - lyrics by Andy Jackson
Slow cooking up a cluster duck
Shredded, pancaked, out of luck
From pond to plate
Best not to wait
Or moral issues surface
Kindness floats on angel wings
From start to end
The great pretend
Will barely scratch the surface
Back end of the convoy
First to see the decoy
But treated like a chew toy
Piñata given to Troy
It’s animal to instinct
Not capable of deep think
But baby, bath and the sink
Don’t deserve discarding
It’s human to be lazy
It’s chaos wrapped in crazy
memory is some what hazy
Unless directed by Scorcese
Back end of the convoy
First to see the decoy
Treated like a chew toy
Pinata given to Troy
...
At the end we have our toy horse full of treats, ready to be given to someone who will hopefully enjoy it and get something positive from it, we are not enemies, but friends who haven't met yet, so here's a piñata. Our journey concludes.
What a journey it has been, from the early twinklings of Time is Now, through the ups and downs of Sunrises, Intentions, Bad Decisions, World Feelings worth staying for, wise wise Ram Dass, Being in the now, Now, reflecting, reflective...to the end, where the oversized Pinata is gifted to the enemy, so we may all be friends and solve this riddle of existence together, for together is always better.
The sun sets on this journey, the second of our fully improvised album releases, utilising the sunsets filmed after the session from our window, we close this book. But fear not, for the story is far from over, and Improvisation 3: Summadelica is already in the bag and itching to get out.
Sunrise Reflections was a truly wonderful project to work on, and Joe Philogene brought so much love, energy and talent to the core of this work which gave Nick and Andy such a rich space to explore musically, it was an honour.
Also Ram Dass, what can be said about Ram Dass?!
Mainly for what we were using him for it was rhythm, Ram Dass speaks with such flow and rhythm that combining his voice with our improvised music just worked so well, so well in fact that we used him for all of the improvised Words of Wisdom sections, as well as the song that bore his books title 'Be Here Now'.
Check out the Here and Now podcast to hear lots of awesome mind opening speeches by Ram Dass
Also check out our podcast for plenty of improvised musical shenanigans and visual funfoolery, we love you dearly and have something special to share with you, it's in our podcast somewhere, go have a look.

So friends,
We came here for the fun, but stayed here for the feeling
Percussion - Joe Philogene
Electric Guitar and Backing Vocals - Nick Jackson
Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson
Video by Nick and Andy Jackson
After a couple of sets of wise words from the almighty Ram Dass, Cosmic Bos come back to their musical roots and serve up a somewhat simple singer songwriter kinda song. With lyrics by Andy, the chaps came here for the fun, but stayed here for the feeling.
Stayed Here for the Feeling - Lyrics by Andy Jackson
Spread across the bed
Gets dustier and rustier
Use paving stones instead
Lazy built an empire
And then slept through the day
Generations greatest gifts
The feelings’ why we stayed
We’ll decimate the buffet
And likely misbehave
Yonder window sunset
Yesterday was better
Except for the pain we felt
So easy to forget her
Or is that simply dreaming
Came here for the fun
But stayed here for the feeling
Today is all okay
This is time worth stealing
Came here for the fun
Stayed here for the feeling

So friends, part 8
Cosmic Bos improved the music, and they are:
Percussion - Joe Philogene
Electric Guitar, Synth and Vocals - Nick Jackson
Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson
This song is track 8 in the Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections album, which is available from all good music streaming venues, please take your pick
This song is a direct follow on from Words of Wisdom 3, as the music began to swell a vocal called out 'Be Here Now', and the whirlwind swirled us all in, and Ram Dass had to stop talking so the music could take over, and that is how this song was born.
Here is our embedded podcast page from Spotify, please follow us till the end of time.
Be Here Now is one of Ram Dass's central thesis's, and truly a reflection of what we have been doing here at Cosmic Bos with our improvisation podcast project.

Hello friends,
Track 6 of our Sunrise Reflections is the magical Feel the World
The 6th outing from Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections is the beautiful song Feel the World, accompanied by some stunning nature photography.
Electric Guitar and Backing Vocals - Nick Jackson
Acoustic Guitar and Backing Vocals - Andy Jackson
Feel the World - lyrics by Joe Philogene
One Heart,
One Soul,
One Mind
Feel the World
Utilising a selection of percussive instruments (including the spinny round the head wwoooooo making thing) Joe leads the chant to Mother Earth, and we spend some time in the relaxing forest making sweet fairy music for all of the wonders that surround us.
Cosmic Bos are big fans of the World, it's pretty neat, and we think that it deserves more attention, some more songs about it, especially after all it's done for us. We are somewhat ungrateful children to the Earth, and it really is time we tidied our room before the threat of no dinner becomes an actuality.
Spend time outside, go and feel the world in your lungs, let the bird song enrich your soul, let the breeze tickle your senses, and remember that we are all part of the same thing, we are all in this together (cough, Mr Bezos!).
Please subscribe to our channel and ding the bell for updates

So friends, intentionally,
The fifth track from Improv 2 finds us back with a set of lyrics to contemplate existence and some trippy visuals to sooth the eyes.
Percussions - Joe Philogene
Electric Guitar and Backing Vocals - Nick Jackson
Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson
Intentionally - lyrics by Andy Jackson
Intentionally slowing down
Potentially turn this frown
Upside down and inside out
See what this is all about
Trickery came thick at me
Distorted all reality
But truth wins eventually
Tunnelling through intentionally
Intentionally freaking out
Drafting up the backless gown
Mooning the entire town
Trickery comes down the line
Causing shifts in fickle time
But truth will win the vintage wine
Intentionally, Potentially, Intentionally
On a simple chord sequence, the Bos chaps present a haunting tale of intentions, facing the trickery that we face daily, not being afraid to stand up for ourselves, be questioning, don't just accept apathy, be present in the moment so you can live your life with intention, intentionally.
Joe beats the frame drums to the rhythm of our souls, while Nick wails the woes with the electric and Andy teaches his acoustic a lesson in strumming. Fun stuff indeed. This song, like all the previous songs in this presentation has begun it's journey as an improvisation, come up with there and then, with the pre-written lyrics serving as a guide for some thoughtful rhymes and vibes, when the lyrics are left to also be improvised they tend to lean towards the silly side of the spectrum rather then the profound.
The full episode and album are available.

So Apparently,
We reached it, it's here, apparently.
The fourth song from Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections, and the next instalment in our audio/visual presentation.
Ngoni and Percussion - Joe Philogene
Electric Guitar, Synth and Vocals - Nick Jackson
Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson
The lyrics for this song were improvised on the spot, just like the rest of the song. There was a collection of jars sat behind Nick on a shelf, they acted as the launching point for the lyrical wonder that is 'Apparently'.
We decided on a colourful moving image palette to go with this song, and sunflowers. Hopefully a visual feast for your eyes while the music is a treat for your ears. Imagine the smell of beautiful flowers to complete the sensory experience (we are not yet capable of releasing the smell version of our jams)
For the full improv session visit our podcast site and download the 2 hour meditative improvised musical experience. The full version features some wonderful words of wisdom by Ram Dass, it's embedded right below these very words in fact.
Peace and infinite love
