can you have an actual three dimensional object
that represents the thing that it actually is,
can that be next to something that it's pretending to be?
I am in Many Birthdays and Fiction.
Sometimes I play with My Education, some New Music Co-op events, Mongoose (Austin cobra players + improv actors), guest on recordings or live sets with other bands.
I have also done some sound design and instrumental arrangement for theater performances combining pre-composed and improvised music. I am going to put more sounds here eventually.

you've got something interesting going on, my positive comment is keep doing what you are doing, don't listen to anyone and follow your inspiration, your sound scapes, and dynamic range makes your work interesting and stand out
thanks for finding Hipnautica and bringing attention to yourself!
You should come out Oct 24th and stand in on our music video ... we need interesting people that are part of the underground to give positive energy to the room. Filming will be betwee n 1-6 Pm we need people in Post Apocalyptic, Steampunk or Deiselpunk Attire. We will then open the doors that evening to our set and throw a kick ass dance party, and costume contest.
Haiiiiii! I bes livin' in PA now, booyaysies! Lemme know when you be rollin' through. I will be passing through Austin in late August, I believe. I hit you up. Be well!
Thanks for asking me to be friends. I enjoyed listening to your stuff... sounds great! I plan to listen to some of the projects your involved with as well. I quite enjoy music such as this that goes against the grain. Well done, Mr. Tourniquet... well done!
