Præter: A DREAM BEYOND with the sound of Empusae

Minoár introduces a fruitful encounter with the distinctive and multi-layered work of empusae, blending the relation between music & fashion in 5 distinctive songs visualized by choreography artist Diego de la Rosa through a series of nomadic performance parts.



It is truly remarkable how music and sound can affect one’s mood, perceptions and even understandings, reinventing meanings. Such raw, yet complex chemistry occurred between Minoár and the peculiar art of Empusae.

Once we dived deeper into his distinctive and multi-layered work a symbiosis was established. Whilst sharing mutual understanding of art and aesthetic in general it is quite mesmerizing that it is still not possible to fully comprehend the essence of it all.

The symbiosis of Empusae’s work and the functional appearance of Minoár is a distinctive and memorable concept of deep understanding of creativity, both in music and in fashion.



The fruitful outcome of this experience confirms a crucial manifesto to not belong – nor to the past nor the future. A reason why the direct relation to particular musical genre or fashion culture is non-existent.

The authentic sounds generated by Empusae give special attention to Minoár’s single signature technique and that is the ‘Fiber Bond’ technique. Concentrating on long monotonous and twisted, layered sounds bonded through calculated creative patterns resemble the feeling of the peculiar appearance and feel of the ‘Fiber Bond’. A fabric technique which is not knitted nor woven, born out of desire to create an unbelonging, one of a kind experience.
