Hipnautica, is a transcendent collection of inspiration. led by, Sky, one of Austin's first solo electronic composer/musicians and a long time resident musician. Despite long time roots in Austin, Sky was born in Hawaii, and raised in the Philippines and has traveled all over the United States and the world, bringing different influences together from his travels. Hipnautica presents a plethora of distinctly rich textures, and a wide range of musical styles. Seamlessly fusing multiple schools of creative thought and musical disciplines, Sky weaves together a blanket of musical and visuals that can wrap around you like a cocoon, and transport you to other worlds. Through an experiential processes over the last four years, Hipnautica has challenged musicians, dancers, artists, performers, club owners and audiences to not only think outside the box. but to not live within a box.
"The world is a beautiful place, if only you'd open your eyes to see. ~sky" Hipnautica challenges us to face our fears to bring our dreams to life.
Hipnautica says this project should not be thought of as a band. it is "collective tribe" unbridled by genre classification. We present eclectic performances and music that speaks from our souls incorporating members as each show calls for it and as time permits.
Not every member will attend every performance. Some performers appreciate and relate to different aspects of this project and thus are compelled and inspired in different ways. Like a musical chameleon Sky, constantly explores innovation and asks that you support this aspect of this project first and foremost. We hope that you will relate to some of what we do and perhaps find inspiration from all that we do.
As artists our goal is to be true to the creative process and Sky, challenges us to constantly explore new ideas to express ourselves in ways that reflect the personalities of our tribe. we hope you join us on this journey.
The original Hipnautica was started in 2003 with Trick Appeal Galore (Sunny Webb) and Jordan Jones but unfortunately after a year of working on 6 songs which Sky wrote in 6 days, patience faltered and Sky imploded. So he took a year to regroup and during that time re-evaluated his writing & recording processes, simplified things, and explored a new approach to break the "band" paradigm. After a trip to China and near fatal incident, Sky unlocked new inspiration and the child artist within him was awakened. He quickly gathered new equipment and restructured his approach. going back to his roots as a solo electronic musician. Realizing that if he could get out into the public eye he would find kindred spirits and warriors to join him and strengthen his independent efforts. In 2006, after his first public appearance in over 10 years, after just 6 months a stellar clan of musicians, artists and dancers started to assemble. and thus a new Hipnautica was born.
The organic collective, a creative tribe, an ever changing project that has performed over 50+ shows in the first year, and has hit 5 different states. we sit poised on the edge and look towards the future with deep appreciation for all of you that have supported this project.
