Meet Minimalism
Minimalism is a branch of the Classical / Art Music family, with its own performance and recording traditions.
The clearest way to understand Minimalism is to hear how its rhythm, timbre and performance language change across artists and recordings.
Begin with Arovane, Anna von Hausswolff and Fennesz.
