Fire in The Mountain Festival '2012

 “Cosmicorus are like a church choir that has been listening to Pink Floyd & forgetting its holy purpose”
 Will Hodgkinson, The Ballad of Britain

“Cosmicorus are masters of the possibilities of the human voice"
 Simon Hardeman, The Independent

“Floaty, Gossamer Choral Pop, something like the opening scene of 2001”
Mike Flynn, Time Out

“I struggle to think of anything I’ve heard like it, it was deeply original and the composition brought magic back to life for me. Reminded me of the few unforgettable children’s authors who find the tender part of the child’s imagination and play with it”
Georgina Hewes, BBC World Service and Women’s Hour, BBC Radio 4

Cosmicorus are writing duo; ildikó kerék and Jon Staples. They collaborate with exceptional jazz and folk musicians hand picked from what was originally a 20 strong space, art choir. Their stylistically eclectic music is welcoming, yet otherworldly. They have a knack for gorgeous, slow motion build-ups and shimmering harmonies, telling stories of dying moons and frosty mornings. Where bands like the Beatles, started with short pop songs before moving into more extended forms. Cosmicorus’ trajectory has been the opposite: their early material employed the longer structural forms and sounds of classical music with inspirations like Arvö Part and Pink Floyd. Cosmicorus’s music conjure’s cinematic ambience without further embellishment, and makes everyday moments and earthly experiences beautiful and intoxicating.
