I Love You.
3 track EP / Audio CD / data disc
Release date: March 13, 2009
Track listing:
1. The first (3:00)
Love life -
2. Biotec [Schweizer] Dub (7:14)
3. Sonustraum Remix (6:06)
The atmosphere on this release
sounds like controlled chaos.
Not encased into any category,
it keeps morphing, but is always,
in essence, Minuit De Lacroix.
With 2 exclusive versions of "Love life"
reconfigured on this disc by Biotec & Sonustraum.
Former incarnations:
-TIDE (1993-1996)
Eye began my first experimental / industrial project in 1993.
Eye taped everything from absurd prank phone conversations
to home appliances, bicycles, bathrooms and acoustic guitars.
4 hours of this nonsense are kept somewhere in my old home.
-Spellbinder (1996-1997)
Eye grew a nice collection of small Yamaha keyboards
because for a long time Eye couldn’t afford a pro synth.
When Eye finally bought my old beat up Akai AX-80,
Eye started to gig under this extravagant moniker,
playing elaborated compositions with piano and harpsichord sounds.
Because of this project Eye was considered a “Goth” for many years.
-Plexus (1997)
Beatless cascades of thick sounds and synthetic textures.
AX-80, Juno-106, an FM tone generator & a Casio synth
separately taped in 2 individual stereo tracks (L/R).
Very few copies of this were distributed in 1998.
-Into Ether [with Adrián Sierra / Viktor A. & Dawn Atlas + guests]
Electronic dance music that could be considered maximal techno
influenced by the sound of analogue synthesizers on magnetic tape.
Live and / or studio collaborations include:
Mosquito [with Octavio De La Torre + friends from TJ]
Francisco López (On his "untitled sonic microorganisms")
Rafael Flores (On his "noche de los muertos")
Zan Hoffman (On his "here be monsters: aloof traipse"+)
25Nombres [with Roger Montserrat]
33Canales [with Vate]
Other works as Minuit:
Soundtracks for theater, dance troupes and independent short films.
Live improvisational backdrops for photography & art exhibitions.
Spoken word performance and live/mix for fashion shows.
MIDI & Recording Studios:
-A cold storage space of spite
(My previous home studio in Tijuana, México)
-The BreedFactor Lab
(Owned and maintained by Héctor i.Benítez a.k.a. Heibeg)
-Sassafras studio
(Formerly held by Adam Joyce a.k.a. Trip Tribe in San Diego, CA)
+Klansoff's Gate Keeper, Out Records Hillcrest studio & El Domino.
Currently recording vocals & / or acoustic instruments
(& / or writing lyrics / journal notes / making friends / taking photos)
in random rooms all over Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia,
Donosti, Bilbao, Udine, Salzburg, Hallein, Berlin, München & London.
Also on trains, airports, radio & / or bus stations and public WCs.
My sentiments exactly:
Eye have a good memory.
But sometimes Eye struggle for hours to find the right expression
for a certain feeling... after a dream,
Eye might find the words that were needed so desperately.
Eye am addicted to constant creation and movement.
Eye can't function in the real world without being creative.
It would be better to lead a life without being creative but...
We are living in times when there are many people with technical skills
and financial means to produce art, which can be a kind of false art.
Eye am reactionary against most music made solely on computers
and Eye have noticed that as technology and programs have become
more readily available to anyone, it’s easy to make amazingly perfect,
polished sounding tracks that can pass for great music.
Producing electronic music on computers with fantastic plug-ins
might make things sound polished but Eye think it's ultimately boring.
The spirit of music that inspires me or excites me
is something that still has some sort of feeling behind it,
an emotion or rawness or danger, and a lot of the times now
it’s so easy to perfect everything that it has become
the way you’re supposed to do it, which just seems flat to me.
Maybe it's because Eye don't see myself as a modern person,
and don’t feel particularly comfortable in the modern world.
Eye am creative and Eye keep on working to preserve my spirit.
The real thing Eye am trying to do here is make music that affects me,
that matters to me and comes out of my heart, filled with emotion.
The process of working with integrity,
for me is very fulfilling.
All you can do is keep working in the direction you think is right for yourself.
William Blake worked till death.
The fact that he had a chaotic life
and still managed to work is a great inspiration.
The last thing he sent out for was a pencil to draw his wife!
That says it all for me.
Eye don’t salivate over gear, just over the prospect of making music.
This is why Eye will work with anyone whose work Eye admire,
and who would approach me to collaborate, regardless of whether
that work is pop, neo-classical, techno or whatever mixture of styles.
Everything has its own place in time and every kind of music fills a void.
It matters little to me if it's from Norway, la LA land, Brazil or Uranus.
Eye am fascinated by history, geography & culture,
music, people, art, noises and voices, nature & food.
Information can be extremely dangerous,
this does not mean ignorance is bliss.
Eye don't care about borders or the absurdity of politics
and consider racism to be an unnecessary acidic obstacle.
Injustice in every corner can only be relieved
by furious bravery and the rupture of silence.
That is why Eye say:
Honor and enjoy the gift of freedom.
