Ray Kosmische is a musical project by Jai Knight.
I started out recording experimental sound collages using a radio and tape overdubs.
As I continued I was influenced by albums like Chill Out and Space by The KLF to create longer "ambient" soundscapes.
I now record with other musicians as well as solo.
I'm more into using the studio to create and have no plans to perform live.
If I did play live, it would probably be an experimental approach.
The idea of working with some kind of performance artist is appealing.
