On November 6th, 2007 Kiite Records released for worldwide distribution Eccotonic‘s debut CD “Flow Motion”. This is a downtempo/lounge/electronica studio project by noted film composer and recording artist Cato. Based in Los Angeles, California and influenced by LA’s incredible variety of human culture, Cato still retains elements of artistic sensibility from his Scandinavian background, which includes numerous solo electronica/ambient concerts, DJ-gigs and scoring cutting edge, award-winning television shows. Mixing an eclectic palette of organic and electronic sounds, the music of Eccotonic represents the culmination of a body of work by Cato and his collaborators that spreads over the past several years. It is also a natural extension of his film scoring work, including the track “Cache” that incorporates musical elements from the award-winning film of the same name. Says Cato, “Coming from the world of composing to picture I am used to also thinking ‘visually’ when it comes to sound and music. Even when I compose without picture, like with Eccotonic, I often think that I am ‘painting a soundscape’ the same way a painter is ‘painting a landscape’. I equal the importance of creating the soundscape to that of composing the melodies and chords and don’t consider any element of my musical expression to be more important than another.”.

Cato’s collaborations with other musicians, most notably singer/songwriter Jenny Campmany, are usually heavily edited, warped, distorted and otherwise treated through Cato‘s constantly evolving sonic signatures. These have already made Cato a sought-after creator of music for visual media, having resulted in many scores for award-winning feature films, documentaries, commercials and video games, including the opening music for Smokin‘ Aces (Universal, 2007), the score for Semper Fi: One Marine‘s Journey (Showtime, 2007) and the score for the Kevin Spacey production Mini‘s First Time (HBO, 2006). At the same time, having already been selected for CD-compilations (Pacha Ibiza‘s Roof Terrace Vibe Vol. III), licensed to network television (CBS/Paramount‘s Girlfriends on UPN) and played on famed, Santa Monica, California-based radio station KCRW by Chris Douridas, the music of Eccotonic is being discovered by more and more listeners around the planet.
