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.
fuck your labels !
from the starting point up till now there's no need to catalogue hypno into a scene. fuck all your labels and 'scenes'. industrial ? power noise ? breakcore ? get over it. in 1996 the first breakbeat experiments entered the hypnoskull universe, and they would become more and more, you know why ? just because he liked it. during the high days of certain scenes from 2000 to 2003, hypnoskull just happened to do what he did. and after that he never felt the need to copy small time successes over and over again. words often used in music promo, we know. but guess what, here it counts for real.
side projects
hypnoskull released also records as / or as a part of : tunnel, andxesion, reset, noshinto, trivial gender, 33mhz, sona eact (R), sliding elements (R), ultrastatals! and some others on various international labels.
current stuff coming up !
hypnoskull recently teamed up with legendary industrial american band blackhouse to make a split (full!) album. recordings were done end of 2008 and early 2009. it became a wicked symbiosis between both projects and respects the true blackhouse and hypnoskull sound from the past and present ! more news on this wonderful recording as soon as possible !
the wicked end of the musick industry.
everybody is morphing these days in any music scene. panik mekanik ! majors go full on 'panik mode' and also the indie's get rough times. and who stands at the sideline and just watches all happen ? yeah ? guess. and who doesn't care ? guess another time. it's all the result of the same thing which happened in the financial world. too many so called short term missions made by men in suits who forgot they are dealing with a creative thing here. they just earn what they deserve. we predicted the death of the music scenes allready years ago. therefor, it's good to stand at sidelines and it's even better knowing that the real ones will always stay. back to deep undergrounds we are heading (once again). looking forward to this trip !
