"Eccentric flow came about through the love I have for strange sounds." Being exposed to the vast sounds of different music genres, one is bound to be interested in how they're brought to life. That's basically back when I was intrigued by weird or strange music sounds and decided to take on the journey as well. You'll find that my favorite type of music is very eccentric too (pun intended). It has no boundaries and no rules. "Eccentric flow, in short, is a replication of my weirdness in experimenting with sound design."

Snippet 1: Mazozo
Generating original, melodic sounds that are affected by chords and beat manipulation to produce lucid, soothing tones. Music has always held a special place in Mazozo's heart because to me it was more than simply words played to a beat; it was storytelling. The journey started when he couldn't resist the need to compose music. Mazozo began his adventure in 2017, and it took me just a year to officially launch my sound in a 2018 release. Since then, hes been producing music.
"The track's idea originated from everyday events. The song basically discusses the pointless demands we place on ourselves when, in general, we should really be reasonably happy with less."
