experiment in time : hypnoskull
in 1992, patrick S. (belgium) decided to create a true experiment in time. hypnoskull was born. after having done experiments in electronic music ever since 1990 under various project names like ectoplasmic embryo experience, das schreckenskabinett, godwin, mask, b.r.b. and some others, the time was right to start up a main project. some dozen of cassette releases were published on his own cassettelabel escape 3 tapes, and he appeared on various international tapelabels with such industrial / noise bands like merzbow, hybryds, deleted, ars moriendi, the cruel punishments, to name but a few. The first few years, hypnoskull's sound was very experimental, incorporating influences from mainly the japanese noise scene with projects like masonna, merzbow, dissecting table and hijokaidan. often, stage shows were very experimental too, using broken equipment, metres of cable, microphones and batteries emitting pure noise. one year later, in 1993 the beat came in the game. noise + beats. something which was not new, but fascinating at least. in 1996 patrick s. founded sonar together with dirk ivens, and he would produce aside him the first two albums and several vinyls as sonar. in 1998, hypnoskull released his first full album called 'rhythmusmaschine eins zwei' at german label ant-zen. hypnoskull rapidly became a player in the so-called power noise scene alongside acts like noisex, imminent starvation, pal, synapscape and so many others.
