Biography:
The origin of Hypnotix is back to 1981 when Kraftwerk first gave live performance in Hungary. This was the final moment for Laszló Gajda to decide to deal with such music, though he also knew and liked Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis and other artists in this style.

He didn't have money to purchase expensive synthesizers, but he had electric skills, so he was able to build one at his home. At that time there wasn't at all such drummachine you could pre-programming in Hungary! This machine is still well alive and works even in the present days. You can listen to its sounds on "Star Gates" (in the following songs: „Peter Sky”, a „Big Blue” and „Rainbow”).

The duo started in 1996. Their three wonderful instrumental albums (there are sometimes voice samples as well) are the mix of vintage and modern music. They are pretty unique, and their sound is very professional. Brilliant gigantic vintage synth symphonies go here together with tight, danceable songs. Their aim to create music must be high standard but consumable as well. It means they have done all albums for long months, or even years. And they always use original sounds of instruments.

Their first album was used for a laser show in the Hungarian Planetarium. They have success not only in Hungary, but all around Europe since the German laser-multimedia firm "Lobo" use them for its shows. These songs also appered with many tv programms, films and coreographies.

LESLIE SONNY (Szanyi László)

There is nothing about his musical carreer on his page, except a few words of Hypnotix'philosophy. He is living in countryside but not far from Budapest.

"Im Leslie Sonny, one of the keyboard players and songwriters of Hypnotix.I like music and the world of synthesizers since my childhood.There are many forms to express yorself. I feel lucky to find a way in music with such an instrument, which is quite mysterious in itself and you can say is the "freak of instruments". Our main aim is not to get money by making music, but to express our feelings and to make something interesting for folks. It doesen't matter how many people like it if you are able to please your audience. We think, this is what composing and music is about"
