My name is NikMartken

A world without rhythm is a dead world.

Rhythm is everywhere, around us, inside us, is teaching us how to make the next step, is whispering us to follow the right path, is keeping us calm, is inciting us and we will follow it by moving our head and our feet.

RHYTHM is US and WE are RHYTHM.

Headtrip Acoustic Project

Instrumental Acoustic Trio

Headtrip Acoustic Project is a trio that met playing music in the streets of Dublin, Ireland.
Since then, we started mixing our influences creating a unique style and musical atmospheres: we like to describe our music as a journey, where we tell stories through sound.

So far, Headtrip Acoustic Project has released a 5-track-long EP called “The Rising” in 2018 and four singles: “Imagine”, a John Lennon cover in 2020, “Bleeding Waters” and “Celtic Quest” in 2022 and “The Mirage” in 2023.

Also, in January 2024, the band released its first full album called “The Root Of Illusion”, with the amazing cover art by Alice Rostane.

INVAIN

Post-grunge & Alternative Rock

INVAIN were formed back in 2004 in Padua (Italy) originally with Alessandro Reani (Bass and Vocals), Christopher Cognonato (Drums and Percussions) e Pierpaolo Salmaso (Guitars).

The first EP “Sad Eyes” was released in 2006 and their first album “Life In Pills” (2011) led the band to a discrete success in the Northen Italy underground music scene.

In 2013, Samuele Burattin (Guitars) joined the band adding his classic rock influences to their music. With the departure of Christopher, INVAIN entered stopped rehearsing and performing indefinitely from 2015.

INVAIN started playing live again in 2022 after some rehearsals with me behind the drums with the plan to create new music, but in 2024, following the tragic loss of Pierpaolo Salmaso, the band went on a brief hiatus.

However, INVAIN is now ready to return, honoring our bandmate through his music while creating new songs with renewed energy.

Winona Joyce

80's Soundtracks & More

I always had the idea to play drums in a rock band where we are re-arranging famous movie themes in a rock-ish way, and most of the iconic movies I like are from the 80s… so it naturally happened.

Winona Joyce came alive after sharing some ideas with musicians between Padua and Venice, and the project is now proposing iconic movie soundtracks and playing the most famous hits that were released during the 80s.
