About the Artist
Randall Minick is an artist working with synthesis & electronics in Denton, Texas and has been active in the vibrant North Texas DIY community for the last fifteen years. He performs in groups and as a solo artist, whether it be in crumbling house venues or the Dallas Contemporary.
Minick was inspired by his research of the experimental post-war sounds of kosmische & motorik music in Germany, seeing similarities in the DIY ethos and rejection of mainstream western culture decades later in his own local scene.
Having no formal education in music, he stumbled through his own path of murky drones and electronics. He founded several projects including Wave Swinger, Demandite, and Felt & Fur; the latter of which would eventually morph into his main project up until 2021, releasing a full length record in 2018 and opening for national / international acts like Dan Deacon, Mortiis, She Wants Revenge, SURVIVE & more.
Minick currently plays modular synth in the Texas hardcore punk band Laughing Matter, electronics and synths in his EBM duo Python Potions, & makes rhythmic techno & electro under the solo guise of Formless Ocean. He also hosts “Sound Creature” on Denton’s nonprofit LPFM station KUZU 92.9, and is employed at North Texas’ finest venue for loud experimental music, Rubber Gloves.
