Formed in 2016 in Bury, Lancashire, Stupid Cosmonaut draw inspiration from science fiction and the cosmos to create beautifully haunting visions of a not too distant dystopian future. A vast reach of influences can be found from caustic, electronic hallucinations as chilled as Tangerine Dream and Klaus Shultz to more organic post rock offerings in the vein of Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky.

Since formation, Stupid Cosmonaut have played sold out shows at The Deaf Institute, Manchester, The Met Bury and Sebright Arms London.  They were honoured to play a packed gig on The Beauty Witch stage at Sounds from The Other City in Salford. The have also shared the stage with bands such as Henge, Dystopian Future Movies, Minami Deutsch, Lost Under Heaven, Naxatras and Barberos. 

‘Algol’ their first vinyl release on Drone Rock Records sold out to high critical acclaim amongst online blogs and websites with reviews also from print publications The Wire Magazine, and Terrorizer who said ‘Algol is a rich evocative and crushing trip into the uncharted depths of the solar system’

Created in 2016 in Paris, Omicron Persei 8 is an audiovisual duo composed of Nicolas Bocognano (live sounds) and Paul Vivien (live visuals). 

They presents in late 2016 their first Audiovisual performance : AURORA

Fascinated by connections between visuals and sounds, OP8 always constructs their creations in a constant combo of those two senses. By a research of immersive atmospheres, synesthesia, they lead the audience inside their narrative and oneiric universe, a cross between science-fiction and poetry. 

In live show this interaction take the form of a ritual, an implicit dialogue between Paul and Nicolas. Only they seems to understand the rules and codes of it, but they bring it perceptible by anyone in an audiovisual show. 
Inspired by acousmatic, analog and tribal musics, the sounds atmospheres of OP8 are like an IDM / Ambient sweet and hypnotic music. 
Revisiting analog video synthesizers, the visual style of the duo explores an infinity of algorithms and generative visuals, close to a pure surrealism / aesthetic.

Just a simple rapper. I rap about random stuff that go through my mind.
