Make Believe - Cosmic Bos ft. Joe Philogene

Friends,

What a crazy time it is, 2020! Am I right?

Well, Cosmic Bos Improv-Revisation Ep.15: Astral Swimming ft. Joe Philogene has been out almost a whole month now! Wow!

We made a video for Make Believe (the opening track of aforementioned record) - back at the beginning of Sept 2020, it's been out a while but I had not gotten around to blogging about it, and due to unforeseen hunger I had neglected to revisit the particular tab on the laptop that contained the blog posting thing which I do the thing from, you know what it's like, jelly, it's like jelly, and now I'm hungry again, good work brain!

Here it is direct from our podcast feed

And here are some stills from the video

Just another floating heads in the wall

How did we achieve this amazing effect?  You are most definitely asking yourself right now, unless you have already glanced at the photo below which clearly shows you how we did it, but I implore you not to spoil the surprise by having a sneaky peek and instead get your information from these very words you are reading right now...thank you for humbling this collection of letters, I am in your debt. So anyway, it was done with a green screen which we put our heads through...you realised already didn't you, you looked, you looked at the picture and were just humouring me by reading these words...well, I don't want your pity, it hurts, you know, deep down, in the pit of my alphabet that you could do this, just skipping ahead with your eyes as if these words didn't even exist, as if my very existence as a piece of pointless blogging containing minimal information and questionable attempts as comedy is of no significance what so ever or ever so what. Fine, I'm done now anyway, I shall lay my words to rest, goodbye cruel world, goodbye and good luck... ((sounds of a sentence dying))

Here is the YouTube version should the direct podcast link above not be to your particular liking.

You are welcome to take a copy home with you to show your pets.

Peace and infinite love

 Hey friends,

Check out this amazing artwork done by i.am.gecko (www.iamgecko.com) for our little old improv music podcast

How epic is that?

We think, very, very, very epic, so epic the metaphors itself requires full mountaineering equipment to even attempt to scale.

Please go check out his website, there are some amazing pieces of art there, tell him Bos sent you.

Songs from the Songbook part 2 (more videos of songbook songs)

 So friends,

To continue on our adventure in the land of the songbook, I present to you the other 4 songs from the From the Songbook session 2020 in video form, direct from our podcast feed.

I Want

High

Heart Holder

Where's the Time?

All these wonderful songs are available in our podcast feed https://cosmicbos.libsyn.com

And they are all featured on Cosmic Bos From the Songbook which is available in all good online record shops where you can download music (there is no physical copy, we don't print things as it is bad for the environment and ultimately a waste of resources.

Coming next month we will be returning to our Improv-Revisation podcasting with Ep.15: Astral Swimming, featuring the amazing talent that is Joe Philogene. It's shaping up nicely, with 11 deep introspective musings on the nature of existence, it's a bit different from our last dancy one, but it's good different, hopefully you will like it.

Peace and infinite love

Songs from the Songbook (Cosmic Bos video presentation)

 Hello friends,

It's pretty hot this weekend, at least where I am it is, too hot to write long waffly blogs about silly nonsense, so I shall dispense with the usual waffle based blogitudes and move straight onto the main point of this here blog.

Let's Go Dancing - Cosmic Bos (Official Music Video)

Hello friends,

Get your dancing shoes on, let's go dancing!


Let's Go Dancing - Cosmic Bos (Official Music Video)
Taken from Improv-Revisation Ep.14: Utopia in a Cornucopia

Music improvised by Chris Mace, Nick Jackson, Andy Jackson & Bob Duffield
Revised and Mastered by Chris Mace & Nick Jackson
Video by Nick Jackson, Andrea Jackson, Abi Jackson & Andy Jackson

Our Monty Python style animated video tells the story of getting your dancing shoes on (baby) and going out dancing, something we still technically aren't allowed to do, but at the time of recording the song it was still perfectly socially acceptable. As you can tell, we remained socially distanced to make the video, no virus was spread during the process.

This song is from Cosmic Bos Improv-Revisation podcast, it's a podcast we make, like a radio show from another dimension. We improvise all the music in a single days session, take it away, revise it a bit, get rid of the rubbish bits, tweak up and brush down, then release as an album and as a podcast.
It's fun, you should check it out, there's lots of it now too, this was from our 14th session, which had special guest Bob Duffield.

Cosmic Bos - From the Songbook

Hello friends,

So for August we have gone with an acoustic presentation of songs from our songbooks. We here at Cosmic Bos have been working hard all year to polish up the improvisations, so to give ourselves a little break, we have recording these 8 songs that were written ages ago.

From the Songbook - Cosmic Bos

Music by Chris Mace, Nick Jackson and Andy Jackson

Tracklist:

1. I Want
2. Heart Holder
3. In Between
4. Spontaneous Plan
5. Love Defined
6. Two Little Stars
7. Where's the Time?
8. High

These songs were recorded over two sessions, one was right before lockdown, the other was once restrictions lifted. This was originally intended to be our midyear placeholder because Macey was due to be working Glastonbury festival, but alas that didn't happen, so Songbook became our August break instead.

Here is a video from the recording of Love Defined.

We have several videos to go with this episode, they are all the same as the one above, but, you know, content is content. We will release them over the coming few weeks.

After that however, we have Ep.15 - currently untitled (that's not the title, it really is currently title-less), which has the wonderful Joseph Philogene returning (first appeared on episode 7: On Yarway). 

Thanks for being alive, we love you
