MOONDOG: Cosmos

To describe the cosmos, I composed a 1000-voice canon, Cosmos I.

You can't paint the cosmos, but you can describe it in music.

Performance Essentials (For Bookers)

COSMOS is highly modular and easily adaptable to avant-garde concert halls, museums, industrial spaces, or festival arenas.

  • Duration: 9 hours of immersive live performance (conceived as an open-door, long-form concert experience).

  • On-Stage Lineup: Electronics (Andi Toma), Robotics (Moritz Simon Geist), and approx. 25 orchestral musicians.

  • Load-in & Setup: 2 to 4 days (depending on the scale and venue specifications).

  • Exhibition Extension: Following the live event, the entire setup can remain in the venue as an autonomous, walkthrough sound and light installation for several days or weeks, offering an open space for public interaction.

  • Touring Footprint: All bespoke equipment (robotic tubes, control units, custom lights) is built with a touring logic in mind to ensure a resource-efficient setup

Team & Support

The project is driven by an established international network and backed by leading cultural institutions.
