Cosmo Sheldrake is undoubtedly a sound magician who descends from the natural world to the music world. His music contains the croaking of frogs, the murmuring of birds, and the rhythm of gentle waves lapping. His lyrics can take you to talk to whales, invite you to become the smallest traveler on Earth – tardigrades, or follow an owl to soar in the night sky. Listening to his works is like stepping into an unpredictable sound carnival. It seems that every star, every forest, and every whisper of the wind in the universe are intertwined into a melody. Some people hear the whispers of ancient Earth from his music, some see the mysterious cloud forest, and some others feel the quiet and profound connection between all things. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and the daily busyness, then Cosmo Sheldrake’s live music will open the door to natural wonders for you in the city! Cosmo is definitely the cherished musical treasure in the hearts of countless music fans. His works will always be discovered by you at some inadvertent moment and quickly become your private collection. His music contains a profound belief: this vibrant world is not only noisy but also full of endless melodies. These sounds not only change our perception of the world but also quietly influence our emotions and imagination. Together with human and non-human partners, Cosmo creates music that responds to the urgent issues of this era and conveys hope and possibility with spiritual sounds. During the epidemic, Cosmo secluded himself in a forest cabin, disconnected from the internet, and lived an isolated life. He focused on observing the subtle changes of seasons, experiencing the rhythm of day and night alternation, and feeling the successive sounds in the forest. Gradually, Cosmo realized that we can actually communicate with nature – it’s just that our life rhythms are different and sometimes we can’t understand each other’s language. This time of living in symbiosis with nature gave birth to his most mature work to date. ‘Eye To The Ear’ condenses the essence of his years of creation. The album contains 21 amazing tracks, from celebratory anthems to affectionate elegies and irresistible dance tunes, showing his broad musical vision. With the themes of’symbiosis’ and ‘connection’, Cosmo’s musical imagination is deeply rooted in the practice of ‘listening’ – not only listening to human voices but also listening to the resonance of nature and the non-human world. ‘Eye To The Ear’ is his most profound work in his career. As a producer, composer, performer, and songwriter, Cosmo shows unparalleled mastery in this album.

This work clearly conveys one message: the world of living beings is filled with the symphony of noise and music, possessing immense power to change our thinking, feelings, and imagination. Having participated in numerous environmental protests, Cosmo gradually realized that these activities can sometimes lead to confusion and feelings of anxiety and helplessness. However, music is different; it carries no political connotations but has the power to change hearts. Music influences through a silent resonance, allowing us to perceive the world in new ways. Love for the Earth can be expressed not only through loud voices but also through quiet listening. Now, Cosmo is bringing his music and unique sound journey to China for the first time, meeting with Chinese music enthusiasts in an intimate setting. Let us anticipate how Cosmo will narrate stories from nature through his music, evoking resonance and emotion deep within our hearts. Opening time: December 15th, Sunday, with the show starting at 20:30. The exact duration of the performance is subject to the event.
