Sounds Likecan 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?

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.

cheers!!!

Thanks. It's a design by Clara Moore, an Austin artist.

She's actually redesigning all of my album artwork.
