Welcome kindred sprits of the world. Our mission is to deliver our art & music sincerely on all levels and ideally to inspire those around us.  Hipnautica is a "collective tribe", unbridled by genre classification. We present eclectic performances and music that speaks from our soul. Like a musical chameleon we seamlessly weave through a multitude of styles to create an original hybrid sound.   Constantly we explore creative process and we ask that you support this aspect of this project first and foremost.  We hope that you will relate to some of what we do and perhaps find inspiration from all that we do.  We are currently independent fueled by our passion and the financial support of our fans, sponsors, and venues that hire us. We deeply appreciate your support.  As artists we will constantly explore new ideas to express ourselves in ways that reflect the personalities of our tribe... we hope you join us on this journey.

Sky - composer & visionary, machines, vocalist, lyricist, world percussion

Sky started this project in 2003 with Trick Appeal Galore and Jordan Jones but unfortunately after a year of working on 6 songs patience faultered.  Sky took a year to regroup and during that time he re-evaluated his writing & recording proesses, simplified things, and explored a new approach to the "band" paradigm. After a trip to China and near fatal incident, Sky unlocked new inspirations, passions, and rekindled the artist within him.  He quickly gathered new equipment and restructured his approach... going back to his roots (since 1986) as a solo electronic music. Realizing it may be difficult to find enough musicians to meet his demanding expectations, with the same drive and passion... he launched the project solo. Only to inspire the attention of a steller clan of musicians, artists and dancers... and thus a new Hipnautica was born.  An organic collective, a creative tribe, an ever changing project that has performed over 50+ shows in the first year, and hit 3 different states... 

Erik (Lust Murder Box)- guitarist

Erik and I first met through an ex-manager of his project, Lust Murder Box.  They had hired me to design their website, and some other marketing materials back in 2005.  We were originally just acquaintances and personally I became a big fan of LMB due to their driving music style, and classic progressive electro industrial style.  We started hanging out at his shows, helping unload equipment on occasion.  Over time Erik and I made friends... and as Hipnautica started gathering momentum I mentioned to him that I was hoping to find a guitarist to help out on occasion, mainly just accents on the occasional song.   He said he'd be glad to help out... we did a lot over the past 2 years but due to recent time constraints with work, LMB, and his freelance studio work for other bands... he is not always available for all our shows... but he is still considered a core member due to his constant and never ending support, sound advice and will be featured on up and coming CD releases.  Erik is also providing me great advice for helping setup a better recording system to finally allow us to do multi track midi seperation in our own studio.

Predictus De Mortume - vocalist, lycist, dancer

I met the mysterious Predictus at a local dance club, the second I saw her dancing I was compelled to approach her.  Oddly it was one of those off nights, when I had just decided for no reason to go out. I had not gotten "fixed" up and kind of looked like a "schmo".  Not caring I approached her and said "You've got to know about my project - Hipnautica, I'd love to have you dance at our performances.. "you embody the essence of Hipnautica".  The whole time she looked at me like "I don't know about this guy."  I didn't hear from her for 2 weeks and then at one of my performances I looked over and saw her dancing madly in one of two dance cages.... she was going wild, and my eyes lit up.... this is Hipnautica. The co-incidences of the universe are not coincidences at all - they are the sign of being on the right path.  After the show I approached her and her eyes lit up, she said "that was you a couple weeks ago, I wouldn't have guessed that was you - damn you look different."   We've been working together ever since and it turned out she is much more than a dancer... she is majic & mystery... and one of my greatest sources of inspiration.

TinkR (dancer - muse)

I've known her for over 15 years, she is my best friend, the love of  my life, the foundation of my dreams, and the inspiration for my passion.  She is my muse, my confidence, and my partner in all respects.  Without her I would not be the person I am today...

When we first met she spoke of wanting to be dancer, and she has studied many forms of dance, and she finds her own lines of inspiration.  I'm very proud to be able to provide her a vehicle to explore the passion she has for movement and music.

Roscine (performance artist)

Pixie invited her co- worker to come see our shows... inspired he almost immediately confronted me and said - "Your's shows are an inspiration and I really want to work with you.  I've got a video of some of my Butoh inspired performance art that I need to show you."  Curious I met up with him and was absolutely blown away by what he was offering.  His inspiration and heavy Butoh style performance art helped fuel this project furthur, reignited my passion and drive, and compelled me to write new material specifically to fit his style.  We have worked several shows together... and he has been a steller source of inspiration, support... and a great resource having introduced us to our video guy Johnny @ Aquifer Productions.

Inca (Didgeridoo / Shaman)- experimental musican, digeridoo, performance artist

If I told you the story of how Inca and I met or why we work together I would have to kill you. 

mEgAn (dancer)

Inspired from our shows, Megan approached me about 2 years ago... she had been seeing our performances and was enthusiastically inspired to perform with us... but unfortuntely I had taken on quite a few new people at the time and was still getting my head around what Hipnautica was becoming. So I had to put her on a back burner.  Eventually things calmed down for me and I was ready to bring new people into the mix... within a very short time she embraced more fluid style to fit Hipnautica... and performed several shows with us. Due previous injuries however Megan has been forced to not stress her body and has been in stasis.
