The style could hardly be defined in a few words: there are dark ambient noise collages, grievous instrumental improvisations, provocative post-punk basslines, analog-synth rhythmic and whistling pieces in a Galakthorrö way. All tracks are linked by inventive ideas and feeling of nostalgia, revealing sense of mystery, cold emptiness and gloomy charm.

His first composition was recorded in 1993, and during its existence Hypnoz has released several limited CD-Rs and CDs, including "Chronica Plennyh" on the label Insofar Vapour Bulk (which gathered tracks from different periods), and participated on the compilation "Iznutri" by the Ewers Tonkunst label.

Aside from Hypnoz, Dmitry played in several other projects: Zuboff Sex Shop (post-punk), Circle of Iron Tape (harsh noise), BRZB (electronic, with Alexey Borisov), Hum (drone ambient, with Dmitry Chistov), Der Golem (drone industrial, with Roman Sidorov).

Hypnoz's most acclaimed album, "Breath of Earth", was released in 2008 on Zhelezobeton. The basis of the most tracks was recorded by Dmitry together with Evgeny Voronovsky (Cisfinitum) during their joint night psychedelic sessions, and this is evidently felt in their mood. Stylistically this can be called tranquil electronic ambient with a remarkable experimental touch. Slowly twisting sound helixes, drawing inside the astral subspaces, pulsating rhythms, cosmic sounds of old analogue synthesizers – all this produces an appropriate effect on the listener's mind, and there's nothing more to demand from music.
