Eddie Bazil Biog
Eddie Bazil launched his music industry career at the age of 17 as a synth programmer for a range of Electro / New Wave bands including Art of Noise, Spandau Ballet, Pet Shop Boys, Bobin, Paul Dee, DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, Jets Orchestra. By his 20s he was working as a sound designer for Akai, Roland Emu/Ensoniq, eventually signing on exclusively with the latter. Later, due to a growing demand for software instruments and libraries, Eddie started to develop libraries for various software manufacturers, including Native Instruments, Kiesel, Sound Effects Library, Arturia and Propellerheads. A meeting with Phil Allen, a Capital Radio DJ, resulted in the company Samplecraze, which Eddie has spent 20 years developing as an educational resource. At this time he trained in music production and soon gained a number of prominent contracts working with some notable artistes such as Busta Rhymes, Greensleeves, 9 Bar, SFP, Sleeveless, Chris Campbell and Gam Productions. He contracted to Island Records and Chrysalis as a producer and remixer,  plus was commissioned to write the score for Macbeth that ran at 2 Way Mirror at Alexander Palace for the Cambridge Shakespeare Company. His ongoing development of Samplecraze has led to him offering educational workshops and classes, releasing four books via PC Publishing and becoming a contributor and forum moderator for Sound On Sound. Recently he has established The Audio Production Hub for online education and been invited by the Recording Academy to become a Grammy judge.

Last year, under the moniker Murkla, Mattias Lagerkvist aka Ekolali took a more aggressive and fantasian approach to the repetitive style he's been carving out for himself over the last decade.  Despite the overall kosmische sound, and the absence of both of guitar and vocals, Leviata became something of a mirror, reflecting his roots in the 90s metal and hardcore scene of far north Sweden.

But now, in the wake of the sea serpent, with an album two years in the making, Mattias emerge once again as Ekolali.

Like trapped on the tracks of a merry-go-round, this freight-train of sound circles a lush landscape of pulsating drones and swathes of white noise. With it's arpeggiated guitar-licks and melodic bongo-like bass and drums as it's underframe, For Why You Happy takes you on an ouroboric ride of joy.

No seats, no belts, just hold on as it's chomping to chug.

Second part of the anthology series of improvisations that I have put together as part of the revitalisation of Terrorific Rekords, the 20 year old label I’ve been running on behalf of Lars Stūtzner and Schopenhauer. 

Other than “2012.08.05 (ekogura7)” it's more of the same really. 

I really like “2013.06.01 (jam 1.6.13 mrk4 total)”, and have been trying to make it in to something proper for years. 
One day perhaps.
