Музыка и песни ELA MINUS / ELA MINUS

|

With "acts of rebellion", the Colombian musician Ela Minus has produced a complex manifesto of clarity, a call to fight, to live and to be present. As a self-made artist and punk in spirit, Ela puts her own accent on traditional electronic music. She has imposed upon herself the rule that no sound in her music is generated on the computer. Ela, who has studied for years how to design and build synthesizers, prefers a human, analog approach and uses only hardware for performing, writing and recording. She rejected laptops mainly because of her background as a musician who played acoustic instruments professionally for years. She cites Kraftwerk and early Daft Punk as her inspirations: electronic artists who, in her words, "can exist both inside and outside the club context. "I identify deeply with club culture and want to make music you can dance to," she says, "I also want to make songs in a more traditional sense, with melodies, lyrics and vocals. I want to make songs that accompany people over the years". As a teenager, she saw a clear connection between the freedom of the DIY scene she grew up in and the club culture - the power of people being in one room, being present and experiencing something unique and powerful together. Ela Minus is "the new kid on the block" at Domino and we are very proud of this artist.
