Ionnokx (pronounced like "eye-on-ox") is a Boston-based instrumental electronic music project by Gabriel Shaw (from the band mindFIELD). He has toured extensively playing keyboards and guitar for the bands VNV Nation, Chemlab, Imperative Reaction, Modulate, Armageddon Dildos, and others.
The name Ionnokx comes from a reoccurring nightmare Shaw had as a child. In the dream, a creature called the Ionnokx would stalk him as he would run from it, always waking just before being caught. Now as an artist turning to face fears (failure, rejection, etc), it seems appropriate to take on the name of what once scared him.
Ionnokx has two albums: “Blur Radiant” (2008) and “Reverse Potential” (2011).
