Heitor Amaral Gonçalves, bacharel em Música e Tecnologia pela UFSM, é o idealizador do live Fractal Joke. Ligado à música desde a infância se interessou cedo pelos sons psicodélicos, em seguida escolheu a guitarra como seu instrumento principal. Em 2014 ingressou no Curso de Música e Tecnologia da UFSM dedicando-se ao estudo da Produção musical, mixagem e masterização. Durante o curso teve contato com o Psytrance por meio do Festival Trancedelic, e logo começou a estudar a produção musical dentro do estilo.   Em 2017 estreou o projeto Fractal Joke como live. A propósta do projeto tem como foco criar histórias sonoras com ambientação detalhada e melodias marcantes entre 140 e 145bpm. Dentro desta ideia, Heitor adapta-se ao cenário da noite ou do dia indo do progdark ao psytrance, mantendo a coerência sem se limitar à uma única linha de som. Carregando fortes influências da música instrumental como jazz e trilhas cinematográficas, suas tracks ganham uma dimensão musical característica.

Emerging from the depths of the Sunshine Coast’s hinterlands, Progadox! The audacious alter ego of Casey Cork, commands Australia’s psytrance scene with a fusion of raw energy and mind-bending psychedelia. His name, a fusion of ‘progressive’ and ‘paradox,’ mirrors his ability to shatter musical norms, seamlessly weaving together subgenres like Full-On, Twilight, Darkpsy, Forest, Bush prog, and Psytech. Progadox’s sound is a visceral experience: thunderous basslines that resonate in your core, intricate rhythms that challenge perception, and melodies that transport listeners to altered states of consciousness. Deeply entwined with the untamed beauty of his surroundings, he channels the chaotic harmony of nature into tracks that are both primal and transcendent. As Progadox continues to push the boundaries of sonic exploration, he invites all who dare to join him on a relentless journey through the shadowy realms of sound—a true embodiment of the progressive paradox.
