Patch Notes: Ela Minus

Показать описание
Ela Minus is a musician from Bogotá, Colombia who exclusively uses hardware synthesizers to perform, write and record her techno-inspired pop songs.

Her love affair with synths doesn’t stop at music-making: she studied synthesis and learned how to design and build instruments for herself, which led her to work at boutique New York synth company, Critter & Guitari.

Earlier this year, Ela signed to Domino Records, which releases her debut album Acts of Rebellion next month. In advance of its release, Ela has filmed an experimental set for our Patch Notes series at her studio in Bogotá.

“I recently moved and my studio is not set up yet so I just took my live setup out of the case and onto a table for this,” she says. “I used exactly what I use live except for the Juno 60 and the Septavox. I wanted to play my songs but make something a bit different; so I did not sing and just played around using some of the sequences of the songs and improvised a bit with them.”

Acts of Rebellion is released on October 23.

Ela, I recently heard my dad playing this song, I immediately asked what song this was. “El cielo no es de nadie” is a masterpiece. I just had to let you know. I would dance so long and hard to your music that my soles are ruined. Have a heavenly day!

So nice to see the artists expressions, even though I hardly understand what they are doing. But it is indeed a performance and not just launching some loops. I love this type of gradual smooth transitions.

Многогранная, не простая, ступенчатая, древовидная структура работы с электронной музыкой, награждает вдохновением и восхищением всех кто сумел разобраться))

I just realised the small docket on the right side which says: "Little wins"

A good reminder to appreciate the little wins more often :)
I like that!

God I love this stuff. Music isn’t dead it’s evolving. It’s a shame this sort of thing doesn’t get any radio play (or does it?)

Awesome! Had me dancing round the kitchen! Some flashbacks to old-school Yello and Art of Noise near the beginning. And then it transitions to something much more modern. Love it!
