Minimal Man is an experimental electronic and industrial project that emerged from the San Francisco music scene in 1979, led by visionary artist Patrick Miller. The project pioneered a stark, minimalist approach to synthesizer-based composition, blending cold industrial textures with avant-garde sensibilities that influenced the broader experimental electronic music landscape of the 1980s.
Known for their uncompromising sonic aesthetic and innovative use of synthesizers and drum machines, Minimal Man crafted a distinctive sound characterized by repetitive, hypnotic patterns and austere production. Their work stands as a significant contribution to the development of industrial electronic music, bridging experimental art music with emerging dance music technologies of the era.
