   About Hypnotique

Video: 'You Lack Discipline', with John Callaghan, live in Cologne

Hypnotique is an artist with a rare skill in the modern world - heart-stopping originality. Musician, producer, voice artist, actress, sonic sculptor, model, storyteller, chanteuse and performance artist - Hypnotique is a creature who defies conventional definition in her exploration of the 'total artist'.
Her electro-cabaret live shows explore the fundamentals of a good yarn: trapped within her wicked web of intrigue is a mêlée of macabre tales definitely unsuitable for children, surreal lunar musical landscapes, stories from an ultra modern world, hypnotic ether sounds and darn funky grooves which transport the voyeur from near drug induced euphoria to the obsessive despairs of high Romanticism. Hypnotique tells the tales and amplifies the sounds of a new urban industrial synergetic age with real life tales of corrupt presidents, disenchanted prime ministers, child murdering witches, S&M lesbian housewives and dead media princesses. For music, take the pounding throb of an oscillator driven fairground whirr and beat in a viciously rotating blender with a dash of Berlin cabaret, film noir soundtracks & free jazz electronics, then serve in a cocktail glass of high glamour and brutal sexuality. Bottoms up!
Hypnotique seeks to explore elements of the dark side of the subconscious and ritual obsessions in her ever-confrontational work; combining Orwellian nightmares with an offbeat humour, she rides an explosive trail that leaves lesser mortals burnt out in the wake. With influences ranging from Throbbing Gristle to Kafka, Pierre Schaeffer, Ennio Morricone, Shirley Bassey, Laurie Anderson, John Barry, Lydia Lunch and Marlene Dietrich, she is a mythical space age enchantress who evokes a world and era far, far from the maddening 'Pop Idol' crowds.
Hypnotique is also a leading light of the electronic oddity that is the theremin - the first electronic musical instrument. Stepping far beyond the sci-fi clichés, her virtuoso ability to tame this wildest of all instruments has taken her to the teaching salon of acclaimed thereminist Lydia Kavina, performances with Gong offshoot band Zorch and the Radio Science Orchestra, cameos on the depths of late night Channel 5 (as a regular guest on the 'House of Astonishment' series), cat fights with Melinda Messenger and entertaining the glitterati at Damien Hirst's 'Pharmacy' restaurant. She's also produced sound installations for art galleries, given theremin workshops for children (at the request of TV presenter Ian Wright) and presented her own radio show on London's experimental platform Resonance FM. Hypnotique embraces all aspects of her life as part of her work - from tacky television to confrontational fringe theatre, she aims to subvert or stimulate the media that she adores, deep from within.
As a 'classically-trained-turned-avant-garde-mutated' multi-instrumental musician, she has collaborated and performed with numerous artists including post rock terrorists Nought, Ostalgie aficionados Heist, turntable anarchists Project Dark, and collaborates on current song-writing and recording projects with industrial experimenters Babyslave and Scottish surrealists Dawn of the Replicants - for whom her 'Germanic Dominatrix' husky voice has graced several albums. Her musical projects have taken her from the stages of Glastonbury to the electro-acoustic workshops of BEAST, and from the BBC Studios of Herr John Peel to the darkened homelands of Berlin, East Germany, Belgium & Switzerland.

As amusing as it is to imagine a host of possible endings for the title "I Respond To You Like...", the truth is that MySpace deemed the full title ("...I Respond To Music") too long. They wouldn't even let me add ellipses at the end. I can honestly say without irony that this is the greatest injustice in the history of the world ever.

i've followed barry's story and that tv footage of him as a stuntman jumping buses on roller skates is one of the most incredible things ever!
it stunk of an unsafe conviction all along so i felt i couldn't let the opportunity slide of rhyming 'fitted up' with 'titted up';-)

Hello Hypnotique!
oh, it would be a pleasure for me to do a (or maybe some...) film(s) to your music! I feel truly inspired by it and see what I can do.
So, thank you for the compliment and adding, I put your MySpace-songs on my mp3-player and start to weave some ideas ; )
Greetings,

Even the mighty powers of FRIZZ are not enough to steer the course of that fabled elephant of pop they call Mr Terry...

Soon hopefully! He's designing the cover...

Be great to see you if you can make it to Brum!
