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:

ENSEMBLE STORY

The weekend brings new music Old music repackaged Sounds remixed and reimagined Sampled sounds of someone banging

Sun will shine some of the time Under stars from galactic prime Transitory won’t need glory Existence is an ensemble story

The moon shows on a cycle Orbits to plot changes by Dreams remixed and reimagined Cold truth leaves us somewhat damaged

Sun won’t shine all of the time Over these hazy hopes of mine Mandatory loss of glory Life is an ensemble story

Sit in meditative contemplation Calmly size up our situation For all is dust once said and done Infinite shards of only one

Sun would shine all of the time Resistance is our only crime Momentary mandatory Part of this ensemble story
