Plague Doctors( Fowler)
Welcome to the Plague Unit
What will be our fate?
Leather bird beak mask
Lives Fading Fast
Smoke is Rising from the burning fires
Endless Bodies in the Funeral Pyres
We want to save the sick
Leave this place where death is thick
1349 was a bad year
Kings and Queens, Rats and Fear
The only thing not infected is the sky
I scream to the heavens why?
Can I heal them of the plague
And not catch it I beg
I am too young to die
Plague Doctors never cry
Pipes of Pandemic( Fowler)
Grim reapers infest our air
Dying parents under childrens care
No one can help me I am barely alive
Its good luck I already died inside
They told me things will pass
Who knew this Plague would last
I hear the pipes of pandemic calling
Playing the song of death
The only relief I will ever know
is sound of my last breath
Quarantine signs on every door
Shaking this nation to its core
Not sure when this death will end?
Is God paying us back for all our sins
Not sure we will ever know
You always reap what you sow
I hear the pipes of pandemic calling
Playing the song of death
The only relief I will ever know
is sound of my last breath
Thru the Plastic ( Fowler)
I see you pointing thru the plastic
I see you pointing right at me
Just Like a Animal in a Bubble
Children look at me
I see you staring thru the plastic
Yes I can See!
Staring out of the Plastic
I reach out to You
We put our hands on the Plastic
And realize its a zoo
Clone Me ( Fowler)
I want to meet my clone
And live there in his happy home
To love his beautiful wife
To teach his son to ride a bike
Read the Bible to his mom
And build a shelter from the bomb
Take more shots of dna
To become more like him every day
Clone Me
Make me stronger than I am
Clone Me
Make me smarter than I am
Clone me
Teach this Robot how to love
Clone me
I am as random as the moon above
Psy-Op ( Fowler)
The problem,reaction,solution,revolution
True artificial consent,its permanent
Souls have been sold for computers,whats on your screen?
Freedom grows seeds of discontent, when in quarantine
A definite illusion ,
to cause mass confusion
To guide and direct the herd
towards to slaughter for their words
Loud speakers blow out your rights
Like a burglar or a thief in the night
When your ID becomes your chip
You may have well lost your grip
PSY-op in full swing
Like a Bird in flight with a broken wing
Pretty soon he is coming down
Reality calling is a deafening sound
Future Man ( Fowler)
Nation versus Nation
Conflict wrecks total peace
Dollars are the National Whore
Hail! Hail! The thought police
Children run and scream and hide
Afflicted by disease
Mom and Dad are chained
All property is seized
A new king with a golden mask
A drunkard with a golden flask
Is the end I have to ask
My ears are bleeding from the blast
Is this the future of the past
Im not sure I want to know
Sillouttes of Future men
Standing in the Glow
Pyramid on the White House Lawn ( Fowler)
Pyramid on the Whitehouse lawn
a symbol of the coming dawn
shows us everything has changed
I am now mentally deranged
pyramid on the white house lawn
the symbol of the new age dawn
Freedom is a distant thought
with all this commotion
I completely forgot
too busy losing my mind
is this the end of all mankind
Pyramid on the white house lawn
a symbol of the new dawn
reminder that everything has changed
forever scrambled rearranged
Pyramid on the Whitehouse lawn
a symbol of the coming dawn
shows us everything has changed
I am now mentally deranged
pyramid on the white house lawn
the symbol of the new day dawned

Recorded Pain and project fear. Both are how I felt watching bombs explode on tv. I actually had them blow up over my head in Desert Storm, Maybe it blew up inside my head. I feel pain sometimes. 11/25/2024 Happy Thanksgiving!!..Still recording music and having fun. 2-24-25 recorded project fear with new lyric and arrangement 3-9-25. Still kicking, uploaded different version of Fear and SR9. A flanged out version with almost 3 minutes of trip out at end. Still making sketches and I mine these for my official releases. I am happy folks dig the origins of the songs and the re-workings. Holla if you are on this journey, not the typical fare but original thoughts. Some are just jams they never get finished. Enjoy and its a pleasure..I uploaded a few more mixes and made a album of the collection Called spaceman..It really,is the demos for No Binoculars before the maze.I take my ideas to the group James Dunn drummer ( Secret Saucer,SPACESEED,Lord Only,The Jupiter 4) He said he needs a rollo-dex to keep up with his project and Sloan Leavens.They help produce and flesh out the ideas.4-27-2025..These are raw recordings .I make em the best I can.The R24 is not working well fading things out.I am learning to try and make recordings, but prefer working in a group.Super cool they will take my crazy ideas and flesh em out.These songs I write and take a stab at em.Glad to have Sloan sing em.
Brian Fowlers lyrics often present apocalyptic, dystopian visions, blending historical, political, and environmental commentary. He seems to be reflecting on humanity's self-destructive tendencies, especially through fear-based control, the unseen consequences of our actions, and the inevitability of cosmic or existential endings. These songs could be seen as critiques of modern society, warning about the dangers of fear-driven decision-making, environmental neglect, and the cyclical nature of societal collapse.
If you're drawn to songs that offer a mix of psychological depth, social critique, and existential reflection, Fowlers work is rich with these elements.
July 16,2025 Still recording and writing.The Jupiter 4 is out, Secret Saucers Steve Hayes lended his talents.Pick up a copy or download here on soundclick or Bandcamp. No Binoculars before the Maze is in mix down on our album and my son Charles is making a video. He is a great artist and curator of PASAQUAN. I am gonna start recording experiments again.I find my songs from these jams. All 3 anre available for download ( look in albums)I think these are interesting because they are some improv then I jam over them and some are riff oriented. I really enjoy doing these experiences and experimentation.Holla and leave me a comment.July 25th got a new tune going called Paranormal it is heavy.I am waiting for the No Binoculars before the Maze cd . We are almost done. I played Octave Mandolin and regular mandolin and acoustic guitar as well as the bass and lead guitar.I got a Yamaha synth and did a lot on synth on this album. The first The Jupiter 4 I played a bunch of keyboards, the second I didnt at all and focused on bass and guitars.I write most all the initial ideas and the lyrics and the group helps me shape em.This site is the raw, rough,and demo stuff.I am glad I made all this.Some folks like the demo stuff better than my group stuff.My son is making a video to Green Tide and The group is laying drums.Basically over the drum machine parts.These demos are basically bits and pieces of later songs and they are songs too.Anyway! Peace .
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Brian Fowlers Kosmische Musik is a solo exploration of space-psych soundscapes, blending electronic traditions with raw, guitar-driven cosmic textures. Written, performed, and programmed entirely by Fowler, the project channels the lineage of early Krautrock pioneers while pushing into new psychedelic terrain.
Layers of guitars, bass, analog-style synths, and programmed sequences expand outward like orbiting satellites, creating atmospheres that feel at once futuristic and deeply human. Each piece carries the hallmarks of Fowlers avant-psychedelic approach: kaleidoscopic tones, hypnotic repetition, and a sense of journey through sonic labyrinths and cosmic vastness.
As both an artist and U.S. Navy veteran, Fowler draws on lived experience to craft music that resonates with resilience, wonder, and exploration. Kosmische Musik is not background ambience but a psychedelic transport vehicle, inviting listeners to dissolve into shifting landscapes of stars, planets, and inner dimensions.
Beyond his solo work, Brian has an extensive history in the psychedelic and space rock community. He has written songs and recorded albums with members of Jefferson Airplane, Hawkwind, and Moby Grape, and completed four albums and two U.S. tours with Spaceseed. His music and performances have been featured in Relix, Progression, Record Collector, and in Craig Fentons book Take Me to the Circus Tent. He was the subject of a full-length interview in the Jefferson Airplane U.K. fanzine Holding Together.
Brian has appeared at major festivals and venues across the Southeast, co-founded the Bibb City Ramblers, and continues to lead projects such as The Jupiter 4 and No Binoculars Before the Maze, Brian also collaborated with legendary figures like Col. Bruce Hampton.
