Eskallonia Kwiksilva, Magic Mushrooms, Dummies In Wax et al..

Eskallonia Kwiksilva (sometimes appearing as Escallonia Quicksilver, depending on the mood swings and they were frequent) is convinced that he’s chanced upon Planet Earth while passing through. If you listen to some of his other-worldy stuff, you may opine a similar judgement. He once spent hours changing a bagpipe sound into an electric guitar with a wah-wah effect. Completely hat-stand! One engineer suggested he reminded him of War On Drugs.

His electro-industrial landscapes match his warped mental imagery.
He’s often praising a program from the 90s, called ‘Groovemaker’ and says he loves Skittles and H. Whatever.

He’s very much the go-to man for producing ambient or sequenced tracks, though he’s not averse to ignoring the computer totally. There’s a wealth of material, including Curse of the North Pole (97) with its weird delay-filters and ambient soundscapes like Abducted By Aliens (2021). He collaborated on the DSP project, working on La Belle Et La Bete and Castellabate. He also created L’Dopa II.
