About

Music maker, tech builder, live performer.

Gad Baruch Hinkis is a musical innovator working across music production, instrument design, music technology, and live performance. His work connects genre-pushing sound with the creation of new expressive musical tools — always focused on human spontaneity, flow state, and the social side of music-making: collaboration, community, and shared creative experience. Whether producing boundary-crossing music or designing next-generation platforms and instruments, he explores how new technology can expand musical expression without losing immediacy, intuition, or soul.
