About Me


Pressing buttons, sliding faders and rotating knobs since 2000
INFO:
Tweaking knobs since 2000, Minima is an electronic music project based on real live performances. By using the primordial concept around dub, e.g. the use of the mixing board as a musical instrument, the duo formed by Fipa Vazquez and Renato Patriarca performs live with mixes of electronic drums, synthesizers and loops. In the studio, the "dub" idea is also explored in the duo's own productions and remixes as an important part in their process of music creation.
Minima has released tracks in vinyl and digital format by labels as Craft Music (remix for "Mary's Army" [Craft 016]), Leutral Recordings ("Monday Night Alien" - LEU001) and Tropic Records (the prolific Brazilian electronic music label), with support from many DJs around the world.
Minima also performs and produces experimental projects with fine artists such as sculptress Rosana Monnerat, painter Chiara Banfi and Irish multimedia artist Dennis McNulty, at an event integrating the 26th Art Biennale of Sao Paulo held in Vermelho Art Gallery (São Paulo).
