About

In the gravitational pull of Torrance's experimental orbit, Minóy emerged as a figure of tectonic influence, his cassette tapes becoming vessels of infinite noise collage and hypnotic soundscapes, each release a sustained journey through the fractured landscapes of 1980s DIY culture, where sound was not just heard but felt in its raw, unfiltered state, and works like "The Myth Of Postmodernism" and "Ejaculations Paris, 1919" were not merely compositions but sonic artifacts of a time when music was made in bedrooms and basements, crafted with the same care one might give to a sacred text, a harmonic dialogue between the artist and the machines that spoke his language, a language understood by fellow travelers like Big City Orchestra and Maurizio Bianchi, whose own releases resonated with similar frequencies, and through labels such as Nihilistic Recordings and Sound of Pig Music, Minóy's tapes found their way into the hands of those seeking the art of Egyptian bathing or the tyranny of distance, each title a cryptic invitation to dissolve into a world where the line between sound and silence was perpetually blurred.
