Domino are extremely proud to present acts of rebellion, the debut album from Ela Minus.
acts of rebellion is a call to fight, to live, to be present. An optimistic, uplifting album, it's a record of small details and grand gestures, a manifesto of simplicity, a record brimming with life.
A collection of songs about the personal as political and an embracing of the beauty of tiny acts of revolution in our everyday lives.
Self-made and punk in spirit—Ela puts her own spin on traditional electronic music.
She designs and builds hardware synthesizers and as a self-imposed rule, no sound in her work is generated inside a computer.
Before forging her path as a solo electronic artist, Ela was a drummer in a teenage hardcore band. She joined the band when she was just 12, performing with them for almost a decade. Ela then moved to the United States to attend Berklee College of Music, where she double-majoured in jazz drumming and synthesizer design. This roving background instilled in her a belief that we all have the power to change things, and as she delved deeper into her work with synthesizers, she saw a clear connection between the freedom of the DIY scene she grew up in and club culture.
