Mykl Lozin is an incredibly versatile and talented internationally recognised Violinist and Composer. Add to that; a master teacher, producer, consultant, commercial photographer, author and graphic artist. His varied professional experience and dedication has resulted in many highly creative achievements, starting with his musical career learning Violin at 10.

In 1974 at only15, Mykl was then accepted into the prestigious Victorian College of the Arts. The youngest person ever to enter this elite Tertiary Institution, where he studied with the famous Violinist - Nathan Guttman, with four years intensive study for his Degree in Music.
During a recital in 1977 Mykl so impressed the visiting world famous Concert Violinist - Valerie Klimov, that he was given an open invitation to study with him at the infamous Moscow Conservatoire.
During the late 70s through to the 90s Mykl gathered a wealth of experience performing and recording in Australia, Fiji, England, Europe, China, Asia and Japan. Performing locally, nationally and internationally, with symphony orchestras, chamber groups, choirs, rock bands, and jazz groups, as well as the many international Celtic and country artists.

The list is just as impressive with the great Classical Concert Soloists as well.
His many television appearances include the Ray Martin Show, the Bert Newton Show, Country Wide, Healthy Wealthy & Wise, Good Morning Australia, Tamworth Country Music Awards, Tooheys Cup Challenge, numerous Regional TV, ABC, and many Asian, as well as the BBC and other European broadcasts.
Performing charity concerts in Australia and overseas for Royalty, Prime Ministers and VIPs, Mykl has many times culturally represented Australia in such places as London, Hiroshima, Beijing, East and West Berlin.
Mykl’s talent has now been recorded on nearly Two Hundred Albums and CDs worldwide, as well as producing and engineering in the studio he continues to assist in many artist’s projects.
One of the past highlights being the Merril Bainbridge album with the no: 1 smash hit 'Mouth'.
Since 1998 Mykl has written and released more than Nine full length CDs under his own indie label AURArecords and carving a career as an eclectic and fractal composer with well over one hundred fifty works ranging from classical, filmscore to world dance, pushing the boundaries with his unique brand of original music as he explores all musical styles.
His CD’s are in the collections of world famous Actors, Painters, Authors, Champion Athletes and Racing Car Drivers, and of course many famous Musicians too. In fact the new pressing of the 7th Wave CD is dedicated to the memory of one his mentors and friend, the late and great Peter Brock.
In 2002 three albums were nominated in the worlds biggest Indie Artists Awards presented in Hollywood where Mykl reached the semi finals with all three albums, Mykl is now currently an International Judge for these prestigious awards.
In his position as a judge in 2004 he covered the Celtic, Roots, Ethnic, Instrumental, New Age and World Song categories, as well as the Country Song nominees with final presentations in Hollywood USA.
In 2003 Mykl proudly became an Epoch Musical instruments endorsee and is currently the epoch violin clinician based on the Gold Coast. He is in constant high demand as a performer, producer and as the epoch clinician and master teacher in his wonderfully insightful master classes in the art of performance.
During 2005 in the online world of eMusic Charts Mykl reached the no 3 spot, he also climbed to the no 2 position as the most popular world music composer for Australia. In October he reached 11th spot in the USA MP3 world music album charts which is a brilliant achievement also, successfully putting the violin and even more so the electric violin back into the forefront of alternative and mainstream music.
His ability as an eclectic Composer, Master Violin Teacher and dedicated mentor is very well known with several of his students now following in his footsteps on the world stages.
It was in January 2005 that Mykl was duly recognized for these two career achievements when winning a Golden Fiddle Award for Best Fiddle Teacher and one for Best Fiddle Composition Aust & NZ.
These same awards acknowledged his top violin student and the band “The BOSTOCKS” when winning the first Golden Fiddle - Youth Achievement Award in 2006.
During mid 2006 Mykl's compositions climbed to the Top of the Charts at PAYPLAY.FM remaining at Number One for over three months & till this day. Current Number Ones - Classical Music - Contemporory Music - Electronic Ambient - World Traditions - Australian World Music Charts, thus making Mykl one of the most enjoyable composer-performers in the modern age.
Currently Mykl is often seen on stage performing with many of Australia’s rock legends including ex Easybeats - Stevie Wright, Phil Emmanuel, Dennis Wilson, ex LRB keyboardist Ian Mason, Ray Hoff, and many others at festivals and shows.
His Violin playing is totally infectious, eclectic, flamboyant, and very sensuously delicate, all awhile intertwining the loud and sometimes brash……and just like the man, Mykl lives this persona with great passion and insight as he captivates the audience in this awe inspiring musical journey of spontaneous performance art. The fact that Mykl is handicapped living with the crippling disease of me/cfs is not only a testament to this violinists amazing will-power to achieve, but a true source of inspiration to people everywhere. So it is with little wonder, that this Violinist, Australia’s Mykl Lozin has been acclaimed so many, many times as one of our most unique and exciting talents. Passionate and inspirational, the eclectic sums Mykl up very nicely.

Music, Communication, and the Mystery of the Unexplained Passion.

By Mykl Lozin - copywrite 2001

Put in simple terms; Music is a communication technique developed for sharing a common point of reference in education using what we term a “natural expression of self”. We are therefore, guided by the myriads of unexpressed emotional desires, and then with it, we are brought forth by the new knowledge in total hunger for exploring this great unknown, undefined and mostly unfulfilled passion.

So true education is not so much about becoming smarter, but more over, it is about helping others become comfortable about themselves also. And through gaining this valuable knowledge we all can then re-adapt and re-educate others living in a world that still continues to struggle with the very basic forms of these communications, and with the correct response interpretations that help solve the very mystery of the unfulfilled passion problem.

People termed or judged to be ignorant, are only the mirrors reflecting the mindset of others who do not know how to communicate on an even playing field. Having the edge on someone is not necessarily an advantage. As it has been proven throughout World history that the “little guy” oftentimes, wins in the end despite the incredible odds against them. Try and recount for a moment now, just how many in the World’s History of True Hero’s, have carried this communication skill with absolute clarity and distinction of forethought.

The voice of words rarely amplifies the truest of depths to all levels of conscious and super-conscious thought, in its endeavours to achieve its directive of a universal understanding. And so it is really the merger with the musician’s harmonic attunements that can therefore carry this communication of word skill to an even higher plateau in all dimensions and directions.

The power to communicate without words is a force indeed; and that cannot be satisfactory dissected or explained now matter how many try, within the three dimensional perspective of the spoken world.

Spontaneous creativity is therefore an understanding of communications coupled with the limitless thought flows that we often term as passion. And it is in this very essence of the passion, that we first start to observe the main differences within our perceived education in relation to the most simple of tasks. Oftentimes resulting in embarrassments, and awkwardness while verbally communicating with others on any particular level of subject matter.

To compensate for these certain gaps in our lack of education of self awareness, the basic survival mode kicks in automatically, but not necessarily announced consciously. Or putting it in another way; the bruised ego steps in, but it cannot act rationally or think logically. It being the finite mechanism of limited self-awareness, compared to the infinite awareness in passion.

The egotistical defence system response has therefore created a blockage to true communication skills, and with the resulting problematical attitudes, it now manifests the commonly witnessed situation known amongst most musicians, as the “Rock Star Syndrome”. Of course, this is applicable to any career or any situation. Most writers and film makers have carved long and successful careers exploring this easily explained but most challenging aspect of life’s little pitfalls.

Its interesting to note that the art of diplomacy was born out of the manipulation to veil the mystery of the truth of passion’s real purposes for greater self awareness and self acceptance in all societies.

But history is replete with such manipulations against all living things. And this proves, that greed, is based heavily on a foundation, fed by the fear of a wealth of happily adjusted and intelligent people, all sharing their passion’s together, through the naturally born union of relationships, combining skilled education, forethought and acceptance, that’s aligned harmonically with passion’s automatically tuned-in communication networks.

Because all creative artists are automatically drawn to freedom of expression, since that is the natural outcome for releasing any amount of passion’s infinite source of energies. It also becomes therefore the magnet, for others attention and attraction. And therein something that the ego continuously tries to exploit, in not wanting to adapt and merge because it doesn’t want to try and understand the limitlessness of passion. Thus the Music Business Industry for controlling the world’s musician’s was brought into existence, and systematically it has been in opposite corners with them ever since. And just like the magnet they both have their polarities to repel or attract artists.

The Independent Artist’s movement was then therefore just a natural phenomenon in personal survival passion adaptation, brought about by the contractual enslavement within the artist’s true freedom of ownership to share their speech in music. The Independent Artists therefore are the new resistance, they are the new underground, and they are the future and the new Renaissance Heralding In the long and overdue but timely freedom for all creative artists within the collective passion of living expression.

In any society that has laid its foundations with possessiveness, it automatically has cut itself off from any newness of growth due to their limited perception, this with time will eventually cause the inevitable failure in succeeding in anything but its own demise.

Great works of art, literature, and music have survived for centuries, and will go on surviving for centuries, collecting on the way the new additions of true artist’s passion’s in all their creative works. Forever re-announcing to the ego driven individual yet the other option, instead of the choice of the currently misguided non-communication techniques presently at use.

Greatness is a state of mind, in tune with body and soul. It is not a race of people, or a particular band, or artist. It is inherent in everybody that shares the planet with you, and chooses to listen, learn and explore their own mysterious passions that propel them through the many of life’s challenges for self-awareness and self-acceptance amongst a world, quite full of extremely passionate people living happily, waiting for you to join them in a united and global freedom, from limited egocentricities.

As artists with the desire to know thyself fully via the passion of infinity, you will always lead the way for others to follow. However not as leaders, but moreover as the enduring new pioneers in exploring the inner and outer spaces within infinity, simultaneously.

Your greatest gift to yourself is now the greatest gift to our world’s future and to all future mankind. And it is in this combination, that you now share the music, communicating the real truth, of the mystery, of the passion. Remember; any illusion can cause a delusion manifested towards a larger confusion projecting life as an insane sad reality.

Just add the Passion to the Meaning, the Reason to Listening, and most of all, the Chance to Change. Because your world is my world too, and it can get lonely on that big stage without you.

In joy, life.
