my love for this genre is accellerating towards infinity at a steady 3*10^8 m/s²... skip the bollox. i talk too much trash on here anyway. the point is, what are similar artists/composers to this? i like/know glass, reich, nobukazu takemura's less glitchy, repetetive stuff (sp?) recommand away! |

*fav+* the thing about recommend threads is that you get a shitload of artist to check :) |
||||||||

la monte young btw i don't think its possible to accelerate towards infinity, its far more likely you will decelerate, unless of course, its a negatvie acceleration |

to infinity, and beyond! accellerating at c/s² would require infinite energy, and raises your mass to infinity in 1 second, thus creating a singularity where the entire universe will collapse into, exept for the matter moving away from you at relative speed c. => the universe will turn into a donut. |

what do u actually consider under "this genre" ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the kind of music those artists make, roughly im thinking for example the song nobukazu takemura - anemometer, the albums music for 18 musicians, tehilim, different trains, einstein on the beach, glassworks that stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not minimal in the sense of .. well lowercase music for example, or musique concrete |
||||||||

theres an interesting cd about that i copied off my dad a while back nyman's works played by the london saxophonic. LPs called "an eye for optical theory" i think. his work sounds really minimal & blippy when it's just stripped down to different pitch saxes. the first track could almost be described as pounding. |

It's been said before but I'll mention it again here. Oren Ambarchi - Suspension Keith Fullerton Whitman - Playthroughs Pete Nimblock - Hurdy Gurdy and Voice Stars of the Lid - Avec Laudnium, The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid Joushua Treble - Biosphere - New album with french name Mokira - Mokira (Glichy album but still qualifies as lowercase minimal) Some other stuff I can't remember the moment... |

here's a big list of philip glass: koyanisqatsi (fantastic) powwaqatsi (fantastic) naqoyqatsi (mediocre) mishima (fantastic) the hours (pretty good) glassworks (fantastic, maybe my favourite glass release) passages w/ravi shankar (interesting) kundun (mediocre to good) einstein on the beach (hardcore) satyagraha (hardcore) the photographer (fantastic) songs from liquid days (almost pop music, a la phil) 1000 airplanes on the roof (lots of synthesisers - maybe a nice intro to PG for electronica fans) songs from the trilogy (the best of the operas, and great!) dracula score (i don't think it's that great tbh) hydrogen jukebox (probably my other favourite release of his) |

the soundtrack to 'ravenous' was done by michael nyman and damon albarn, and it is quite exceptional. though not strictly minimalistic, it sort of is in its repetitiveness. |

what's that scandinavian name i still havent checked, nordheim? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you like post-rock, check out some "town and country" and "fridge". Quite hypnotic, quite minimal, very very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also, if you like the more modern-classical side to minimalist music, get some terry riley. |

Rafael Toral Phill Niblock Hafler Trio Zoviet France Nurse With Wound... i'm pretty sure mr. virginpusher meant that by NWW, but just in case that was unclear, i figured i'd mention again... Windy and Carl Joseph Suchy Six Organs of Admittance Ekkehard Ehlers ... hmm well this is a bit tough, because i really haven't heard a large enough sampling of Reich and Glass to know what you really mean when you ask for recommendations... |

Does Philip Glass even regard himself as minimalist? I don't think he has for many years. There's an interview from way back in which he gives some really insightful views as to why he sees himself this way, but I've since lost track of it :( There was a cool thread on here awhile back about Glass' "Lightning". I really dig that song, bouncy synths and all. Almost cries out for a happy hardcore beat or even something moderately pounding a la "Zombie Nation". ;) Glass has class. I don't know if I'd put some of the earlier essential Tangerine Dream compositions under "minimalist" but they are certainly sparse yet ambient and evolvingly lush in a stark way. |

i have no clue why i put minimalism there ive been reading about reich and the word minimal showed up there too often. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just had to name it really, thats all thanks for the recommendations people |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yah totally fine JAroen, I never had a problem with the word "minimalism" myself, just that some artists see themselves differently. Just a label, ehe :) Hope you find more music to enjoy! Cheerz. |

reich's music for 18 musicians is lush. just been listening to it this morning.. |

Reich pwnz Glass |

Stars of the Lid make beautiful music. I was verging on obsession a few months back... 'the Tired Sounds of...' is so mesmerising. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im obsessed with it too! its basically all ive listened to this summer.... glass and reich john adams is supposed to be a big name, but the 2 works I got by him just dont sound anything like the minimalism of glass or reich. i was really let down. Id also be interested in more names... as Ive been mostly obsessed with these guys, buying cd after cd.... I need to expand. oh, and the solaris soundtrack by cliff martinez is awesome... It reminds me of some of reichs stuff |

stockhausen!!!! |

I could never find any good names at school... none of my teachers like minimalism. they all hate philip glass that was one of my main reasons for dropping my composition major... because (amoungst other important factors) I didnt want to have to write music to please them, or write music that I liked, and have to argue and justify it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

you should try Adams' opera "Nixon in China" - that certainly has some of the minimalist qualities and it is a great piece besides. you could try a Dutch composer too - Louis Andriessen. he made two opera's with Peter Greenaway and has made loads of music besides. although not exactly minimalism, Berio has also done some great work, more brooding in atmosphere. |

thanks! |

some stuff i've been digging recently which maybe sorta fits here: Joe Colley Daniel Menche Brandon Labelle Marc Behrens Jeph Jerman Francisco Lopez Bernhard Gunter Steve Roden Eliane Radigue Brent Gutzeit Julien Ottavi Dion Workman Organum |

Steve Reich > Philip Glass for that matter the dump I took this morning > Philip Glass |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes definately. I recently purchased Adams' "Road Movies" Good but "Nixon in China" is way better. by the way don't buy the new Reich recording (orchestre de lyon i think) of different trains. it's crap /me finishes encoding his lovely new Drumming recording |
