Minimalism

[FauxPerspicacity]

Anybody else into this genre of music?

 

[Caelum Adustum]

Henryk Górecki "Symphony No. 3"

 

[Oceanic Motion]

Minimalism... Isn't that an off-shoot from Ambient?

 

[FauxPerspicacity]

Listen to Steve Reich - Violin Phase and you might get the idea.

is it kind of deerhoof,death from above,hella or even the white stripes?

I like some stuff like Ulver's Lyckantropen Themes and Silencing the Singing. Both of those albums are good minimalistic ambient as well as Vidna Obmana's "Spore" album. I also like some minimalistic black metal such as Burzum.

The only "minimalist" stuff I have is some Ulver stuff, Nothing and Gruntsplatter

Check out the early King Crimson-stuff.

hmm, i wouldn't have said that was particularly minimal really, in very small places, but not continually. most of the stuff mentioned is not fully minimal, and yeah, i would say it is the further continuum of ambient rather than an offshoot.

I can listen to a bit of minimalist classical music, such as Philip Glass. Minimalist ambient isn't something I'm really interested in.

I've very much gotten into minimalist contemporary classical over the past year, my favorite being the works of Steve Reich.

Minimalism can pertain to many different genres, such as ambient, classical, and even some metal (Darkthrone's Transilvanian Hunger is a good example).
