Hyperpotamus is a one-man band out of Madrid, Spain who creates vocal-based music using a few microphones and a loop-station pedal. After spending some time attempting to find some background info on this guy I found a story written by Hyperpotamus that explains how he came to be the musician he is today, "I was frustrated.
