minusbaby, born Richard Alexander Caraballo in New York City, is a musician,
designer, photographer, and wandering, beat-collecting international vagabond,
whose finely-crafted blips and bleeps are as eclectic as the broad range of music
and culture he draws inspiration from.
Focusing primarily on software-based composition, minusbaby uses lo-fi
electronic synthesis to create chip music that defies genre classification.
One song could be a micromusic lullaby inspired by 17th Century Spanish architecture,
while the next may be reggaeton for a cymbal-clapping robotic monkey, composed with
an ear for fine hip-hop beats and debuted for an Australian Cattle Dog in Sao Paulo,
Brazil.
With minusbaby, 60s-70s Brazilian pop can meet mid-80s New York b-boy jams cut with
Santeria percussive patterns, everything filtered through the ears and fingers of a
musician looking to push what chip music can display stylistically, and what people
will experience when they hear it themselves
