A song about music and friendship, when time had no end and "Abbey Road" was both an anchor an compass in life. This is from the new album "Bridges and boats" released Aug 30th 2013. 

Anchor and compass (Classic rock)

The title song from our 2nd album. It starts with acoustic guitar and voices and then develops into something else when the drums kick in, Kosmoratik style.

Bridges and boats

From The "Bridges and Boats" album. A song about travelling without arrival.

Be Here Now

Everywhere You Find Me DEF

Submarines DEF

Muster Point DEF

This song was re-recorded for the album with Odds Rhodes solo being the only thing we kept from the original band recording. This was somehow like building a new house with only keeping the veranda on the 2nd floor from the original building.. 
Anyway, we will make a music video in the end of august as the song will be released in an edited version to radio stations.   


Don Quixote

The title song for our 2nd album. Here in an acoustic setting, Fender Rhodes, acoustic guitar and 2 voices. It´s a song about communication, and still a work in progress.
The unplugged session was filmed and will be available during on the net during september/october 2012.  

Bridges and boats (from Kosmoratik Unplugged Session)

Lise Lottes new backing vocals for this song, which we did this week, kind of dreamy with a Beatles reference to it, or so it seems. It will be mixed next week and is intended for release as a single with "Don Quixote" October 15th. 

First meditations (new backing vocals)

Lise Lotte and Odd Gunnar performing this new acoustic number, live in january, written by Eivind just prior to the gig. It's about a young lady with not always good intentions.

Thanks to John for bringing with him the handy recorder and Olav for editing the raw files. 

Broken from inside - live at Månefisken, jan. 2013

Eivind is the singer and main songwriter in acclaimed Norwegian symph/progressive folk band Kosmoratik. Revirstredet is Eivinds solo project.
More Information:
KOSMORATIK is an Oslo based band, with an ambition to explore human themes through a musical framework with influences from songwriters as Nick Drake and John Martyn, Pink Floyd and the first wave of progressive rock as well as the Beatles and the magic of the pop song.
We have released 2 albums "Gravitation (2012) and "Bridges and Boats" (2013) as well as the digital only mini album "Directions".  

REVIERSTREDET is a small, unremarkable and rather insignificant street in Oslo. But it’s very close to the rehearsal-space I rented for a number of years. 
I was passing this little street with the strange name all the time, either on the way to rehearsal or on the way home from Dubliner Pub, and sometimes both. Revierstredet is not a nice place at nighttimes unless you're looking for scantily clad female companionship. However it struck me that Revierstredet might be an interesting band name. So when I in 2014 started working on a new project I went back here, to a street named after a canal that never was built, or was it? REVIRSTREDET, spelt slightly differently, is the musical hangout of Eivind Johansen with friends dropping by or sitting in for music, tea and exchange of ideas.



- Cosmorama was originally the name of an exhibition technique from the 19th century in which the public could view scenes of distant lands, landscapes and exotic subjects through an optical device that magnified the pictures, generating a sense of presence and purpose.

- Cosmorama can also be seen as a threshold for viewing internal landscapes and conditions of balance, through the arrival and passing of time, and being present in your own life

- Gravitation
.. the weakest of the fundamental forces..
keeps the planets in orbit around the sun...
