Biography
Infantjoy is a British electronic group.
They have also collaborated with sarah nixey.
Infantjoy is literally a musical collaboration between cellist/percussionist James Banbury (formerly of The auteurs) and conceptualist/percussionist Paul Morley (member of The Art Of Noise). They met whilst compiling a remix edition of the Art of Noise album The Seduction of Claude Debussy – Morley as a member of the Art of Noise whose contribution to the group was somewhere between making the tea and dreaming the whole damned thing up, Banbury as an ex-member of the Auteurs with his heart forged by Sheffield electropop and his mind made up by by modernism. They decided that their first musical act as Infantjoy should discreetly and indiscreetly acknowledge the composer who suggested that you play a piece of his music by 'wondering about yourself.' or by 'opening your mind' or by being 'as light as an egg' - Erik Satie, a major influence on Debussy and Eno, the former triggering most modern music, and the latter re-routing most post-modern music.
