Minit is the collaborative project of Jasmine Guffond and Torben Tilly, formed in Sydney in 1997 before relocating to the fertile experimental scene of Berlin. Their sound identity is defined by a rigorous commitment to minimalism, utilizing processed acoustic sources and found sounds to create 'hallucinatory' environments.
Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, they became key figures in the intersection of glitch, ambient, and drone music, notably through their association with the Staubgold label. Their career arc shows an evolution from stripped-back electronic pulses to more dense, textured works that occasionally incorporate traditional instrumentation like guitars and drums to conjure 'ghost songs' within noise. Critical consensus identifies their 2004 album 'Now Right Here' as a masterpiece of the genre, praised for its balance of excitation and calm. They occupy a cultural space between sound installation art and experimental performance, influencing a generation of artists interested in the tactile, physical properties of digital sound.
