Experiments in music and video by Kosmos - an artist name I've used for many years for other projects but this is a channel for my ideas and noodlings.
I'm doing this for my own interest and education not as an attempt to be famous so if you stumble upon this and happen to enjoy it please feel free to comment or subscribe but if not, no worries.
I will usually describe some of the process behind each video and equipment used which may be of help to others.
Thank you for visiting.

The Old Vampire - Silent Horror with Orchestration
Another short movie which I created and then composed music for. It basically follows some of the ideas from Dracula with Nosferatu as the villain.
The music was composed along to the movie all with an organ sound I created in SurgeXT vst. I then orchestrated the second half using free orchestral sounds that are part of Ableton Live Suite plus some percussion and free Kontact libraries.
The movie was created using a lot of old movie techniques such as simulating movement with still pictures like a rostrum camera, overlays on top or behind other images and a few short animations of still photos created in AI.

Forgotten Souls - Kosmos - Halloween special
Просмотров 41Месяц назад
The hunter's moon just after dark brings out not only the owl amongst the tombstones in the graveyard but also the ghosts of those no longer remembered and possibly something more menacing. The music was created in Ableton using the new Autoshift function as a sampler played by MIDI from the Roli keyboard. I sampled single notes of my voice which I looped and then used Auto Shift to turn it int...
Dark Passage
Просмотров 57Месяц назад
Exploring unknown medieval tunnels from which strange sounds are emanating and all the time a feeling of being watched by a strange presence. With Halloween approaching I wanted a video to get into the horror mood. The music is supposed to give an atmosphere of foreboding and was created by the Behringer 2600 played live. A lot of pushing the filter just into self oscillation and applying FM fr...
Grotesques & Gargoyles music by Kosmos
Просмотров 163Месяц назад
Above the rooftops strange statues and weird carvings adorn the Cathedrals and Churches. These Grotesques take many forms and when they act as water spouts they are known as Gargoyles. The music was composed in Ableton Live and utilised Sonuscore's The Orchestra Elements a free library for Kontakt VST with some additional strings from Ableton's own library. Thanks to a certain Mr. Schubert for ...
Speckled Wood Butterfly - Kosmos
Просмотров 292 месяца назад
Footage of the Speckled Wood Butterfly (Pararge aegeria) feeding on an Ice Plant (Hylotelephium spectabile 'Carl') with original music. The video was shot on a Panasonic Lumix G9 with 300mm lens. The music was traditionally composed with all voices created from scratch in Vital VST synth. There was added some Dawesome Love , some Granular Delay, and of course Valhalla Supermassive.
Resting (at Ennerdale) - Kosmos
Просмотров 842 месяца назад
Summer didn't arrive until September in the lakes but sitting in the sun watching nothing much happening in a beautiful location calms the spirit like nothing else. The view is from the side of Ennerdale Water in the English Lake District on the path to Angler's Crag looking towards Rannerdale and Great Bourne. The music was a drone created by sampling my voice into a Major 7th then PaulXStretc...
Saltom Pit - Kosmos
Просмотров 1992 месяца назад
A piece of music reflecting on Saltom Pit a coal mine on the coast of West Cumbria created around 1730 when it was the deepest undersea mine in the world. I chose to create a classical romantic theme utilising an orchestral string section, as the mine was producing coal throughout the lives of the great composers of the classical and romantic periods from Bach to Chopin. The composition was cre...
Water Music - Kosmos - Generative Techno
Просмотров 392 месяца назад
As the electrics short out in the flooded studio the sequencer of the custom built synthesizer kicks into life and creates generative music reflecting its journey into destruction as the water floods into its circuits under the flickering lights. The music was actually generated using the patch seen on screen with the ARP 2500 modules of Voltage Modular. There was also some Objec Delay, Valhall...
SlowGen - Kosmos - 13 mins relaxing ambient music
Просмотров 862 месяца назад
Another chill out video with a relaxing non-repetitive piece of original music. The music was created in Ableton Live but utilising the hypnotic sequencer, Harmony Bloom, from Mario Nieto, that also acts as the centre-piece of the graphics. The sequencer created a deep booming overdriven brass sound created in Ableton Bass. The probability was set to around 50% so that not all notes triggered w...
Endless - Kosmos - free background music

You can use this music in your projects without payment and if you want to attribute me please put a link to my channel. www.youtube.com/@MusicOfKosmos This was another Harmony Bloom sequencer experiment. This time I got it to trigger another sequencer - SequencAir from Full Bucket Music. Both sequencers then sent Midi to custom voices in Ableton Meld which helped to keep everything in key. Blo...
Generator Music - Kosmos - (music visualizer)
Просмотров 393 месяца назад
Engine noise creating a rhythm for a synthesizer track with AI generated generators. The engine sampled was a small stationary steam engine which had Ableton roar added and modulated on 8ths to increase the rhythmic feel. This was augmented by bass and snare created by Ableton Live 12 drum synthesizers DS- Kick and DS-Snare, and the snare had additional saturation. The main overloaded synth sou...
Sand and Sea - Kosmos - 10 mins relaxation
Просмотров 873 месяца назад
A relaxing look South along a tranquil St. Bees beach as the tide turns with large stacks of heavy clouds rising over Furness from Morecambe Bay. Soft relaxing music and an ambient soundscape provide a chilled out vibe. The music is basically just bass and vocal counterpoint. The bass comes from a deep thick sound from the Novation V-station combined with Vital to add more movement and texture....
Clementine - Kosmos - (official visualizer)
Просмотров 413 месяца назад
This is another piece of music from my archive that needed a visualizer. I think the name Clementine came from the fact I'd been listening to Tangerine Dream (similar fruit) and the use of a sequencer suggests that. Although, the lead synth, the CA2600 gets a bit Jeff Wayne "War of the Worlds" at the end. The sequence is played by the Cherry Audio's PS-20 their emulation of the Korg MS20 but th...
The Ghost of Northmoor Abbey - Kosmos
Просмотров 2124 месяца назад
A white lady is said to haunt the ruins of the abbey on Northmoor in Yorkshire. It is said she enters the church through a doorway that no longer exists, moves down the central aisle and stops to pray, then returns the way she came. Whether it is the ghost of St. Everhilda who was martyred trying to prevent raiding warriors entering the old church or one of the nuns who tried to emulate her at ...
Voltage Modular Jam 1 - Kosmos - (Steampunk Synth visualizer)
Просмотров 944 месяца назад
A modular synth jam the audio of which I recorded a couple of years ago and have re-visualised as a steampunk synth. The audio was created using Cherry Audio's Voltage Modular system with a just few basic modules but in Ableton I also had AudioThing's Wave Box and Ableton's Spectral Time on the track. There was then some Chow Tape added to the recorded result. As I hadn't recorded video for the...

Space -Trader (a very short space movie)
That looks like the old Gaiety Cinema, there were certainly some Whitehaven bits in there.
No it was definitely all shot on location in Transylvania 😉
This is the last of 4 short movies I have done for Halloween this year and I look forward to do something less dark for the rest of the year. Hope you enjoy - and don't have nightmares.
Not one to watch just before bedtime!
Yes I was working on it late last night and had to watch some football before trying to sleep.
A bit of a different video and music this week with views from a recent walk and a more classical composition.
This is the first time I've used the Creative Commons licence to allow other people to use the music in their own projects - please let me know in the comments if you think this is useful.
Steampunk electronic music factory 😀
Thanks. You made me realise I've done a few with a steampunk feel so I've created a new playlist.
falling under your spell
Thank you for commenting.
Well this was perfect for testing my new mini-monitor for my Raspberry Pi 400. Although I did also play some Queen to test the audio.
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed
Suggestive
I'm wondering what the AI does if you ask for a Japanese garden in autumn. I suspect a shortage of pictures on the internet of Japanese gardens without cherry trees in full bloom.
I am on the forefront of evolution
Ah, so that is where the river fairies live!
Dies ist eine wunderschöne Melodie, fantastisches Video, ... wie ich immer sage.. ." MUSIK VERBINDET MENSCHEN AUF DER GANZEN WELT".... Grüße aus Deutschland ~ LOlo ~
Danke für deinen Kommentar. Also as it's his last Liverpool match today thank you Germany for Jurgen Klopp.
Are they seasonal, like dragonflies?
They are but fairy seasons don't really equate to our domain as their timeline is tangential to ours.
You need to make this into an actual gallery people can walk into. Would be a good tourist attraction.
It wouldn't be very difficult to achieve. Large flat panel TV's clamped to the wall with the visualiser and synth running on small PC fed from a master PC sending out Midi.
😳 'Promosm'
Considering the rock is waste from a lime kiln it stands up very well to the pounding of the sea and shows how effective lime mortar can be.
Also slightly ironic as there is very little trace of the once mighty Lonsdale Iron works that shut after about 30 years of operation - but the waste remains well over a century later.
There'll be complaints that you're trying to hypnotize people!
Nice. Love the cockpit! Reminds me the B-29's. A nice blending of the old with the new. 😊
Glad you liked it because although I got AI to generate the image I had to manually cut out all those small windows to allow the video to show through.
R TPE
Pretty cool liked it. 👾
Thanks for your comment
So this is actual video of the latest moon landing? :)
Hardly but possibly I got a bit of inspiration for the video from Odysseus moon lander.
Sounds great :-)
Very spooky, but at the same time soothing.
I like how the AI even manages to put reflections in the eyes.
I like how it seemed to create an infinite variety on the theme without changing the prompt.
So glad I can see Haig from my house 😊
Thanks for the comment - the first on this channel 😃 Will probably do some more with West Cumbria backgrounds for the music soon.
