/Minimal/ is a relatively new general for the posting and discussion of Ambient, Drone and Minimalism
Enjoy
bump =)
Do you have a topic to talk about OP?
do you have favourites?
>>73172107
Anyone have any recommendations for stuff similar to Stars of the Lid? I've gone through their whole discog, Dead Texan, and Winged Victory. Looking for more.
>>73172165
I'm mainly interested in minimalism but I've only recently started. I've listened to Steve reich, Henry flynt and Philip glass but I've decided to go back to the earliest routes of minimalism with Henning Christiansen and Dennis Johnson
Would love some recs and discussion of the history of minimalism
>>73172271
listen to La Monte Young - Well Tuned Piano
La Monte was a huge influence on The Velvet Underground. Cale originally moved to NY to join his ensemble, and Reed also unwittingly used the same middle-eastern tuning.
It's a familiar sound, and it's nostalgic for me, it feels like my first days playing around on a piano. Very good music. Highly improvisational album that lasts like 6 hours, much underrate
>>73172332
Yeah, I've heard well tuned piano is heavily influenced by Dennis Johnson but I haven't listened to well tuned piano yet. Theatre of eternal music is great which moves on to the drone element of this general
I hate the fact that the recording of You Are My Everlovin' / Celestial Power is so bad, the potential of the composition itself is so great. This is a good idea for a general but I would suggest another name than /minimal/ because ambient doesn't really have to be minimal
>>73173191
Good point. Any suggestions for a name?
>starts a general
>has minimal knowledge of any of those genres
everytime.
this will be dead in 3 days.
>>73173228
>minimal
heh
>>73173210
nah
>>73173228
But generals aren't for just for me. I know there's a somewhat large community on here that would benefit from this kind of general. I'm not the leader of this, it's a free space to use
you guys should check out Anthony Moore - Pieces From The Cloudland Ballroom. The first track uses voice in a way that seems to annoy some people I know (even though it's amazing) but the ones after that are really easy to like.

all 320. 3 hours in total - it's pretty great
>>73182828
this is like listening to Godspeed after listening to Mogwai
anyone have any charts to get into this sort of music?
>>73183280
you lazy fuck
>wants to learn more about a form of music whose essential quality is the expanded duration of time
>has no time
>>73183159
I'm just going to assume that's a good thing
>>73174694
Elicoide is p. good. Do you have it in 320? I only have 192....
here's another one of my favorites:
The Nuclear Observatory Of Mr. Nanof (1986)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3cXQy5F6H4
http://www119.zippyshare.com/v/tKgRW7Cs/file.html
12/10 minimal album.
>>73183280
honestly RYM charts are good. you can just do certain genres/decades and such
or lurk here. Plenty of stuff being posted
>>73183354
its not that I don't have the time, I just want some recommendations for something accessible to get into the genre you twat
>>73183280
fuck off, genuinely
>>73183578
thanks
>>73183713
These genres are inaccessible by definition

seems a bit Reich knock-off, in terms of general sound, but as it has none of his minimalist procedures its actually a much more free and varied bit of composition
would look into more/10

Anyone in /minimal/ a fan of Abul Mogard? Just came across his stuff, he has a beautiful sound, a lot of very intense drones with "progressive electronic" bleep bloops, with the whole thing treading into noise territory at times.
good morning thread
good bye thread
>>73205829
listen to the rest of the dream syndicate as well
finally a thread for me!!
I've been trying to expand my classical minimalism knowledge besides the big 4 (Glass, Reich, Riley and Young).
I'll take any recs, especially piano stuff, but please no ambient/drone, I'm not as interested in that.
my favorite piece is Eintein On The Beach.

any lowercase recs? im tired of listening to the same stuff
>>73215837
you young whippersnappers and your made up genres
wha t the fucg is lowercase anyways
>>73215870
its ambient made by amplifying tiny sounds we usually don't notice from field recordings, like the rustling of paper or the sound of a window closing
>>73215837
>>73215920
I have a flow chart on lowercase but you probably know them if you already listen to lowercase
>>73172107

>>73215989
does anyone make new stuff?
>>73216152
I don't listen to any lowercase. I just have the chart based on some kind of interest
keep it real
>>73174623
fuck that was a trip
Remove all avant-teens from the premises
>>73172271
I mean "the history of minimalism" is a hard thing to discuss because minimalism is really such a restrictive label. It inherently is labeling the style of New York music based on an exploration of repetitive process music. Pretty much everything to come out after 1970 (Drumming, MF18M, Einstein, etc.) is Post-Minimalism.
Are there any charts/essentials for drone music? I looked on the wiki and there weren't any pics, but there was a page which had a few songs I listened to and liked, would like to know more.
There were charts for drone metal but that's different I think.
Someone posted this in /daily/ but didn't know how good it was
