Masks of Life

About Cosmael

Cosmael is a one-man band whose sound is built from years of restless creativity. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, he picked up guitar, drums, bass, and piano as a teenager before pivoting into electronic production, embracing MIDI and digitally generated vocals through Synthesizer V to expand what one artist alone could create.

Through the years, Cosmael never stopped recording. Riffs, melodies, and ideas were captured wherever inspiration struck, slowly building into a body of work. Masks of Life is the result, a collection finally brought together as a complete album.

His sound draws from a wide palette but leans unmistakably toward the 80s: cinematic, synthwave-driven, and built for moments larger than life.

About the Album: Masks of Life

We all wear masks. Not to hide, but because life asks different things of us at different moments. Masks of Life is an album shaped around that idea, a record that moves through the many emotional states we cycle through, sometimes in a single day.

Some tracks are light and easy, the kind of sound that lets you breathe. Others lean rebellious, charged with the kind of energy that pushes back against whatever is weighing you down. There are moments of pure joy, where the synths and drums simply celebrate being alive. And there are tracks built for motivation, the ones you reach for when you need to keep going, when the world feels heavy and you need a soundtrack to carry you forward.

Masks of Life is an invitation to recognize yourself in the music, whichever face you happen to be wearing today.
