Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)


Will Cosine negotiate their prices?

Yes. Mark understands that everyone cannot afford to spend a large sum of money to contract a band. So, contact Mark L. Brooks (MLB) directly to discuss special rates or discounts that may be available.

 

How soon can I schedule for my event?

You should schedule as soon as you can.  Because our clientele is growing daily, we are booking very far in advance to ensure the bands availability.

Does Cosine provide PA and live sound equipment?
Yes, now due to prequent request for sound reinforcement for events and concerts.  Cosine and Imelle.com now provide this service as well.  We have found that several of our clients have indicated to us that the clarity, the professionalism and efficiency of our organization is something they can count on.  So due to the demand for this much needed resource, we will be in the future accepting contracts for this service.  Our prices are reasonable and affordable.  

 

Is there a code of ethics for the performers?

Yes. Our performances are handpicked from amongst some of the best musicians in the area.  They sign a performance contract with MLB. and in addition, they are expected to conduct themselves professionally. In the event any of Cosines employees conduct themselves improperly at any time, notify MLB for corrective action. Though we have not had any problem with this issue.

 

Is it necessary to provide a deposit to secure the band?

Providing a deposit and signing a contract ensures the client satisfaction for a  successful event. It is difficult for Cosine to obligate without using these procedures. In the event your activity is slated as an out of town engagement; transportation and lodging expenses would need to be included in the rate. However, we are still concerned that you get the best rate. So, we will do our best to keep Per Diem to a minimum.

 

Can you hire Cosine without a contract?

Yes. You can contact Mark directly. Usually this service is reserved for repeat clients. However, if you are approved to proceed in this manner Mr. Brooks will provide you with a tax id and invoice for your corporation. Typically, this type of arrangement would require a security deposit of 10% of the negotiated price.

 

 

What is the difference between Cosine and Elements of Cosine?

Cosine is an “electric band” consisting of guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and vocals depending on the venue. Elements of Cosine on the other hand was created initially to be an acoustic group consisting of guitar, bass and drums and/or vocals.  The selection of music may be similar to the electric band, which would be inclusive of some cover songs.  However the interpretation may be slightly different. This is a “pet” project of Mark’s and we try to have fun with it. It has worked extremely well for some corporate and small nightclubs. A lot of people like the “un-plugged sound.”. 

What if I have other questions that are not answered in this page?

You may contact Mark or Imelle, and we will contact you within 24 hours.  Thank you very much for your interest in the Cosine Band and Imelle.com organization.  Our aim is to entertain.

What instruments does the Cosine members uses?

Like all professional musicians, we use the best quality instruments to perform well and to sound great! But sometimes it isn't  the most expensive instrument to sound great (it is usually the musician behind the guitar, bass, etc. ).  Tony Duncanson uses LP Galaxy series congas and African drums fabricated by master drum maker, Baile's African Drums.  Wyndel Ficklin uses Alembic 5 string Ken Smith Design Proto J-5 basses; Amps-Gallien-kruger Ampeg; Cabinets by Eden Genz Benz and more... Mark Brooks uses guitar vintage Les Paul deluxe (gold top),  Vintage Fender Stratocaster, PRS CE 24, Godin Synthe all acoustic guitar,  Floyd uses Technic 1200s & Gemini CDT-05 turntables, Vestax Pro-05 mixer, Numark Headphones, Roland SP=404 sampler and Ed Brooks uses the Roland "V" drums.
