khaen
>The khene (also spelled "khaen", "kaen" and "khen") is a mouth organ of Lao origin whose pipes, which are usually made of bamboo, are connected with a small, hollowed-out hardwood reservoir into which air is blown, creating a sound similar to that of the violin.

You should listen to David Rosenboom - Brainwave Music

The 2 other tracks are quite different but still interesting (bleep-bloops based on brainwaves & Palestine-tier piano)

what's the deal with Italians & minimalism?! lots of good releases in Italy but not so much in other Euopean countries idk why...
Piero Milesi is currently my new favorite (after Lino Capra Vaccina, Roberto Cacciapaglia & Lino Capra Vaccina)

Su(e) was the singer of Suburban Lawns, a more basic new-wave band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VgzqC7wZEk

Maybe it was a trend: some minimalists composers have released pop albums:

The overlap of minimalism and ECM-style jazz in the late 70s led to some interesting results, like Azimuth

and Eberhard Weber's Fluid Rustle

The Lost Jockey were a British minimalist ensemble from the early 80s. IMO they were inconsistent, but when they were good, they were REALLY good, as in:
"Beauty Bizniz"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaHqmzCKwBg

and "Professor Slack"

All Italian minimalist heads need to check out the Music Interiors Vol. 2 mix by Spencer Doran from Visible Cloaks (if you haven't done so already):
http://rootstrata.com/rootblog/?p=8801

I spent weeks last year exploring the works of the artists on this mix. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Volume 1, which focuses on Japanese minimalism, is just as good.

hey, I really like each ones of their releases but they were derivative tbf.

Oh yeah Man Jumping is really cool, especially Jump Cut. I didn't mean to diss the Lost Jockey; I like all their releases too, just some tracks are way better than others imo.

>>70659494
Glad you like the Francesco Messina! To me, Harold Budd's Pavilion of Dreams conjures a similar vibe:

Also definitely check out the Music Interiors Vol. 2 mix mentioned above.

>Wayne Siegel - Autumn Resonance/Domino Figures
A 1983 minimalist masterpiece, recently reissued (you can listen to both tracks on here):
https://blacksweat.bandcamp.com/album/autumn-resonance-domino-figures

"Domino Figures" is particularly awesome - 42 nylon-stringed guitars blur into an ever-shifting ethereal mass of sound.

>>70659438
Glad to know someone else liked that mix as much as I did lol. Looking at listentothis now - what a treasure trove. Thanks, anon!

Holy shit this is amazing--thanks, anon! Exactly the kind of stuff I'm always looking for. Sits nicely alongside Xenakis' harpsichord works.

Great thread, what do we think about Pascal Comelade?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vufkZTKDxl8

>>70664124
he's great! But I only know his debuts, from Fluence untile ~1983-86
One of the few French composers who embraces minimalism in the 1980's w/ Yann Tiersen, Klimperei

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4z_IQnln24

r these guys post-minimal?

>>70664124
This is dope. Where should I start with Comelade?

'Sentimientos' (1982) is probably the most diverse (included covers of Eno, Ayers & Satie) but I really like 'Logique du sens' (1983): he used toy instruments only.
https://youtu.be/Qab0oItQxeU

If you prefer Berlin Schoolearn 8300, go for Fluence https://youtu.be/tmmwctsIpnk

>>70664234
Yess, I mostly love his earlier work especially with Slow Music and Irregular Organs. Wish he made more vocal work, he has great falsetto. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdaIzGZ4QuQ
I love Klimperei too, great artist. Interesting how they both make childrens music though hahaha
>>70664255
These guys are great, mostly avant-garde jazz but yeah lots of post-minimalism influences.
>>70664377
Glad you like it, definitely check out Slow Music and Detail Monochrome.

>>70664255
yep! The clarinetist is Wacław Zimpel. Check his recent album here: >>70656174

>>70664938
Definitely check out Alice au pays des merveilles if you liked his childrens music input. Or you can check out Mécanologie portative with Pierre Bastien.

Prime Italian minimalism. Very Reich-y and Glass-y, but it's got a computer and some extra-playful vocals. The best.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNiJHsbhlXo

at lot of these albums being posted are what I would call "ambient" and some venture into "post-minimalism"

is that right or am I confused about what "minimalism" really means?

>only says post stuff about post-minimalism
(OP here)
I fucked up, I wanted to only write "minimalism"…
but on the other hand, post-m. is a broader genre: it shows how much 1960's/70's experimental musicians have influenced more mainstream composers in the recent decades, and other genre as well: jazz, ambient, new age, movie score (ie. Michael Nyman - Drowning by Numbers)
