Cosmopollus redefines the modern psychedelic experience through colorfully crafted pop songs, surreal lyrical imagery and dreamy improvisational passages, where Electronic textures and vintage instruments weave together to create a sound intended to carry the listener far away from the mediocrity and ugliness of current societal existence.
The musical brainchild of Animator/Painter Chris Reccardi, Cosmopollus recreates the their unique sonic experiment live with a small and eclectic ensemble of immaginative musicians, Hi-Fidelity sound, and a digital light show.
Cosmopollus is independently wealthy and is engaged in the practice of playing live music solely as a means to "enhance the experience of personal suffering". If you are a performing musician, no further explanation is needed.
