Michel Iseneld
Bålsta, Sweden
Founder of Hypnus RecordsOur founder is known under various monikers, perhaps most prominently as the conceptual electro-acoustic warlock protagonist Ntogn [en’togg-n].
There, he aims to breathe life into a life-long fascination for myth and magic by using contemporary and traditional sound design techniques to materialize his visions.
Using his voice, modular synthesis and creative field recordings, something peculiar sprouts into an organic sound inspired by the emerging hypnotic deep techno scene.
It has been described as "fierce, artistic techno that sounds like little else out there" and ranges from earth-shattering techno to obscurities that defy definition.
All music is released on his imprints Aether Mechanics and Tome.
Ntogn
Techno for dragons and the wizardly.
“…this is fierce, artistic techno that sounds like little else out there.”

The Memoir
Music by Michel IseneldAether Mechanics
A sonic space opera.
“… apart from being curious about the universe and my senses, I’m also inspired by what bothers me. When I care about something and see how it could be better, I try to apply myself to do what I can to improve it or create something new. It’s usually an unwavering feeling of necessity and discontent—a craving.”
