During this part of his musical career he played with countless bands playing Rock, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Pop and Hip-Hip, touring Europe and Australasia. Bill says : "Being a session muso was a game of extremes; some of the bands that I played with contained some of the most incredibly talented musicians that I ever had the pleasure to blag my way onto a stage with. On the other hand many of the bands were way beyond bad and I ended up having to commit some of the most heinious musical crimes known to man on a very regular basis - in the name of making a living..." Bill honed his writing and recording skills by composing and and recording pop tracks for over ten years before finally becoming involved with creating pure electronic music. Now as much in demand to compose music for picture as he is for live appearances to play his particular brand of tongue-in-cheek, full power Psy-Trance music on dancefloors quite literally all over the globe. During the last 12 years of touring Bill has played Cosmosis' music to ecstatic crowds in such diverse places as: Taiwan, Brazil, Israel, India, Bali, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Colombia, United States, Egypt, Switzerland, Sweden, Hungary, Denmark, England, Spain, Ireland, Canada, Serbia, Scotland, Japan, Belgium, Holland, Greece, South Africa, Russia, France, Mexico and Portugal and plays regularly in many of these countries He is currently involved in creating the music for several 3D computer animation/music projects for release on DVD as well as cooking up the new and soon-to-be-ready Cosmosis album, provisionally entitled: Psychedelica Melodica Watch this space ... Bill now divides his studio time between scoring music for animation, making full power dance music and touring Cosmosis worldwide. Cosmosis Artist Albums Cosmosis (with Jez Van Kampen) were one of the original artists that, along with Total Eclipse, Hallucinogen, Man With No Name and Astral Projection and others, helped to define the new Goa and Psy-trance sound in the early to mid nineties. The first tracks released as Cosmosis was the Cannabinoid E.P released on vinyl in 1995 on Transient Records. Followed by a string of successful vinyl releases culminating in the seminal Cosmology album in 1996, one of the first Goa or Psy-Trance artist albums. Today it is widely regarded as one of the few classic Goa albums Cosmology Sleeve art: Nagma After Jez Van Kampen left Cosmosis in 1997 to concentrate on the Laughing Buddha project Bilbo, now solo and not content to rest on his laurels, went on to write and produce the excellent 1998 release: Synergy widely regarded as a Psy-Trance classic. Synergy Sleeve art: Tim Smile Later album releases include the best selling Cosmosis album to date: Intergalactic released in 2000 Intergalactic Sleeve art: Frederik NOS The Intergalactic album was followed in 2002 by the concept album Contact Contact Sleeve art: Alex Grey 2003 saw the release of the Mumbo Jumbo album Speaking In Tongues which was produced at Cosmosis' studio The Vibrazone and co-produced with Mitch Davies (a.k.a DJ Kuma) Speaking In Tongues More recently Cosmosis released Trancendance in 2005 which firmly re-established Cosmosis' credentials as one of the top Psy-Trance producers in the world Current album: Trancendance Sleeve art: Fred NOS Finally and due to repeated requests for earlier material, the retrospective album Akashic was released in late 2005 containing some of the highlights from the first four Cosmosis albums, showcasing Cosmosis' earlier sound Akashic Sleeve art: Iain Dub _________________________________________ Cosmosis on Compilation Albums At last count Cosmosis has tracks on well over 100 compilations albums. Far too many to list here. However, if you are interested you can find a complete list of Cosmosis' compilation and other releases here:www.discogs.com MyGen Profile Generator |

Music:Member Since: 6/23/2006Band Website: cosmosis.co.uk Band Members: Bill Halsey (a.k.a bilbo bagginz) Influences: To paraphrase Jimmy Page: "A musician is the sum total of his influences." I agree. Here's a few of mine: Pink Floyd, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Frank Zappa, David Bowie ELO, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, Trevor Horn, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Abba, Mozart, Early Acid House, Cheesey Pop House with girly vocals from the early nineties, Trance tracks I hear from the dancefloor, whatever music comes out of the radio - especially crackly London pirate radio stations playing Drum 'n' Bass on the car stereo when driving home late at night ... Cosmosis - Ozora Festival 2007 Sounds Like: ... it's having an hallucinogenic effect - not like a drug which is harmful and wrong and just say no kids, but spacey nonetheless..." Record Label: Holophonic Records Type of Label: Indie |
