Album Notes

Transcending its origins as a Hollywood, CA-based studio group, Hypnogaja has evolved into a full-fledged live band that has toured extensively in the U.S. and Canada and has reached worldwide Internet audiences with songs that carry mass appeal.

Hypnogaja is comprised of singer/songwriter/producer Jason “ShyBoy” Arnold (who co-wrote and performed two tracks from the hit CAPCOM video game THE DEVIL MAY CRY 4), guitarist/writer/producer Jean-Yves “Jeeve” Ducornet (whose credits include songwriting and production work for the legendary Santana), keyboardist/writer/producer Mark Nubar Donikian, and drummer/percussionist Adrian Barnardo. The band is putting the finishing touches on a brand new studio album. Entitled TRUTH DECAY, the recording is a concept piece in which all the songs revolve around a central story about a world's dramatic, apocalyptic end and how life cycles into new chapters, sometimes with sudden force.

Described by OUTBURN magazine as "enthralling, first-rate modern rock," APPLE.COM as "soulful rock with a subtle electronic backdrop" and the DENVER POST as music that "pushes boundaries," Hypnogaja writes and performs "melodic, sophisticated songs that cater to no trend” according to GRAMMY®-nominated songwriter Wendy Waldman (Garth Brooks, Vanessa Williams), producer of the band’s critically acclaimed album, ACOUSTIC SUNSET - LIVE AT THE LONGHOUSE.

Numerous television shows, motion pictures, video games and soundtracks have featured Hypnogaja's music, including AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL (CW), CARRIE (NBC), COLD CREEK MANOR (Touchstone), DIRT (F/X), FLATOUT:ULTIMATE CARNAGE (Warner Bros. Interactive), LAS VEGAS (NBC), ONE LIFE TO LIVE (ABC), ROSWELL (WB), SEX AND THE CITY (HBO), THE LOOKING GLASS WARS (Scholastic), TRU CALLING (FOX), VALENTINE (Warner Bros.), and many others.
