my friend asked me once, what "minimal" music is like. i
couldn't really answer him. he then downloaded the album
from "minimalistic sweden". he said ot was awesome and gave
it a few days later to me.

my first impression was rather: wow, that's actually quite
good.

now, after a few listetnings i have to say that this is
awesome! minimal music can be so different. once it seems
like "satanstornade", but much more clear and better in my
opinion. then it turns into a chopped version of "bine".
after this it's suddenly ambient !

minimal music opened a whole new spectrum of music for me.
this music

i have recently fallen in love with creating soundtracks for
alternate environments (kind of like saw 2)

me and a friend have started to compile a nice library of
industrial sounds for an "ambient" cd we are going to
create

yeah great stuff!

I've been really more into minimal music lately. I feel it
is great! I just float away to it. It's not as directed as
other music.
And defineatly music I will make in the future (I actually
made it when I was a kid)...

minimal means the production is sparse

i discovered one very cool thing about minimal music. i went
to town today, with my discman and minimalistic sweden in
it. it sounded awesome, when i heard a sound from outside
through the earphones. that was awesome. i mean you listen
to a song and you hear a car driving along. and it seems
like it has just been added in the song. or someone says
something etc. it makes the song different every time i
listen to it.

I think much of minimal music has to do with the silence
between the noise. If you fill that noise with everyday
happenings, it doesn't sound out of place in the least. I
love walking around the city and hearing the background
ambience filter through the music.

Plastikman's "closer" was the last time I've done that - the
effect was pretty sweet.

Minimalism I would say is basically atonal sound. Probably
best not to call it music 'cause its more atmosphere
creation than music.
