Minisystem

Minisystem (Jeffrey Lee) is a Canadian solo electronic musician and molecular biologist based in Toronto, Ontario. His music is produced almost entirely with analog synthesizers and drum machines. His debut album, Madingley, was released in 2006 on Toronto's Noise Factory Records. Minisystem is often defined in contrast to Intelligent dance music and glitch. Combining simple drum sounds from the Roland TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines arranged in a dance progression with melodic and warm tones from a variety of vintage analog synthesizers, Minisystem has been compared to Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. Lee went on to earn a BSc from the University of Waterloo and later moved to England to pursue his PhD at the University of Cambridge. Lee returned to Canada in 2002, this time settling in Toronto where he is currently a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto. Lee's next purchase was a Roland Juno-106 synthesizer, which unlike his earlier purchases would become a mainstay of his studio environment.
