Collection: Minimalism
Minimalism is a diverse and far-reaching musical genre that emerged in the late 20th century and continues to evolve in the 21st. Characterized by its stripped-down approach, repetitive structures, and often hypnotic qualities, minimalism spans a wide range of styles and influences. From contemporary classical and avant-garde compositions to ambient soundscapes and experimental electronics, the genre embraces various cultural and geographical influences, including American, Nordic, Japanese, and European traditions. Minimalist works may incorporate elements of drone, field recordings, and unconventional instruments like theremins, while exploring concepts such as sound art, environmental music, and new age aesthetics. The genre's scope extends from string quartets and modern chamber music to electronic experiments and meditative "no beat" compositions, reflecting its ongoing impact on both classical and experimental music scenes worldwide.
