Orfeon Gagarin - Halibut - Vaporub MC (Tragic Figures, 1990)

 

Miguel Angel Ruiz started in 1982 to record in his house musical pieces, centred in the abstract and pseudocosmic electronic music with his new Korg MS-20. In 1986 he inaugurates the catalogue of Toracic Tapes with the legendary first cassette of Orfeón Gagarin, an eclectic combination that presents from environmental sounds to industrial noise, including cut-up exercises and some ethnic contrast. From there, Miguel A. Ruiz's production is non-stop, editing between 1986 and 1992 more than a dozen cassette recordings either signing as Orfeón Gagarin or with his real name or with the alias Funeral Souvenir or Ventral Metaphor.
