The Cogent Project is the experimental side project of Film and TV composer Adam Lastiwka.  It was meant as an outlet to create electronic music that wouldn't really fit into the framework of an episodic drama or feature film, but later turned into a nearly full time venture in to sound design and musical experimentation. 

 Although the tones of various synthesizers are called upon often, the directive has now shifted to favouring foley and sound design elements that are then processed to create organic-synth like textures and rhythms.  The goal has always been to create something familiar, yet fresh. The use of regular household objects and other various strangely designed and generally non-musical objects to create musical results has often accommodated this idea.

THE SHORT STORY:
A two time Juno Award winner, and inductee in the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame, Shari Ulrich was first heard in the early 70’s with the quirky Pied Pumkin playing fiddle, mandolin, dulcimer, flute & sax.  Her defection to the Hometown Band and a high profile launch to national recognition led to her solo career as a singer songwriter. Her latest release “Everywhere I Go” (Borealis Records) was engineered and produced by her daughter Julia Graff, also a multi-instrumentalist. It is her 8th solo album, and the 23rd of her career including her work with Pied Pumkin,  Ulrich Henderson Forbes, her trio with Barney Bentall & Tom Taylor, and The High Bar Gang. Shari is also a songwriting educator, producer, and composer for film and television.
