Geometrik Records in association with Munster Records presents the new album by Orfeon Gagarin, Miguel A. Ruiz's main project, one of the leading names in experimental music in Spain, a true pioneer of the risky and underground Spanish electronic music scene since the early eighties. Limited edition of 250 copies. In 1986 Miguel A. Ruiz released his first cassette on his own label Toracic Tapes. Since then, he has remained active in the international network of underground electronic music. He has composed many solo albums in all formats, especially on cassette, under different names such as Funeral Souvenir, Exhaustor, Michel Des Airlines, Ventral Metaphor, Orfeon Gagarin, and his own: Miguel A. Ruiz. His first vinyl LP was Encuentros en la Tercera Edad (1991) produced by the German electronics master Asmus Tietchens on his label Hamburger Musikgesellschaft. In the following years, and up to the present day, he has published with other respected international labels like, Old Europa Café, Aquarelist, Monochrome Vision, Menstrual Recordings, Abstrakce, and Geometrik Records. Ruiz has also collaborated with musicians all over the world such as Cisfinitum (Codachrom), Siegmar Fricke (Efficient Refineries) Dieter Mauson, Francisco López and Stefano Barban. Ruiz's style is fantastic and surprising, with an imagination that can be considered overwhelming. Science, technology, Soviet space era, Borges, surrealism, clinical pathologies, black humor or extra-planetary life, whatever eccentricity has a place within the microcosm of this artist. His music is considered bizarre, surreal, dark and funny at the same time, using in a very personal and original way very different styles in an amazing and unique universe. After the last two albums as Orfeon Gagarin, he presents a new album: Orfeon Gagarin & The Supermoon Orchestra, which includes eight gems of extraterrestrial electronic pseudo-pop. The perfect music for an intergalactic party, where he shows his fascination of the sonic possibilities of old synthesizers and other analog electronic instruments.
