Appreciation Obscure Music Genres - #10 - Minimal. (1 Viewer)

[la_mort_pour_vous]

Minimal music is a form of art music that makes minimal usage of music materials.
It originated in the 1960s in New York & is characterised by the focus on the internal processes of music, which lack goals.
Stasis, motifs, consonant harmony, & steady pulse are prominent features with phase shifting being additive.
Music does not move from one place to another.
'Minimalist' music is based upon the repetitionof slowly changing common chords [chords that are diatonic to more than one key, or else triads, either just major, or major and minor] in steady rhythms, often overlaid with a lyrical melody in long, arching phrases...utilizes repetitive melodic patterns, consonant harmonies, motoric rhythms, and a deliberate striving for aural beauty.

Best hours for listening to the genre : 23:00-2:00.

Notable subgenres & derivatives : Postminimalism, noise rock.

I find "Raw Silk Uncut Wood" to be rather ominous sounding as compared to the others.

i personally like glassworks most out of these, probably followed by rsuw and then either piano stories or goodby mr. G.
