Music career
Hyper released his debut album “We Control” in 2005, where incorporated live instrumentation such as guitars and bass and fused it with his newer electronic sound. The album led to a world tour, which included Japan's Fuji Rock festival, Denmark’s Roskilde to the UK's Glastonbury and almost everywhere in between. In 2009, Hyper released the single "Pitch Bitch" with JHz on Kilowatt Recordings. The song was used on the trailer Warner Brothers Film The Losers. Also in 2009, Hyper released a remix of German electronic musician Pet's song "Cloud Nine".
On 28 March 2011, Hyper released a new single, "The End", taken from his third album, The Panic, which itself was released in April 2011 via Distinctive Records.[1]
In 2013 Hyper released his biggest album to date “Lies”, where he experimented with the power of dynamic and strings elements. The album received worldwide acclaim from artists and bloggers alike.[2] In 2014, Hyper released an orchestral re-interpretation of 8 tracks featured in “Lies” to create “Symphony of Lies” in collaboration with Chris White.[3]
