About Me

The Cosmic Puppets are based in the village of Dollar, and were formed in the Spring of 2003. The current line up have been together since October 2004.They believe that most of contemporary, mainstream popular music is solely a commodity; Record companies no longer invest in new talent and are more akin to accountants.The music of the Cosmic Puppets draws on modern timbres and form, utilising today's technology, yet still retaining the traditions and compositional methods of the Classical and Jazz spheres.Their progressive rock style incorporates a wide range of rhythmic and metric possibilities (including odd meters, polyrhythms, and metric modulation / shifting meters), and many harmonic concepts used in Jazz (Altered 7ths, Melodic Minor Modes and Symmetrical Harmony).I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
