The 9/11 album

It's actually very good

>>73282199
No, but Clapping Music, Come Out, Music for Wooden Blocks, and Piano Phase are interesting at least.

>The 9/11 album
For a second I thought you were mistaking Reich for the composer of The Disintegration Loops, but I'll be damned, "WTC 9/11". Checking this out, thanks anon

is much more interesting and succinct

>>73282860
Alright, you're right. I was going through MF18M hoping to find what originally drew me in, but this piece is precisely those moments I was hoping to find, but in every newly introduced idea.

This is a better piece.

>>73282199
I don't think there's anything as good but he has some other amazing stuff. My favourites are
>Four organs
>Drumming I-IV
>Music for mallet instruments
>Different trains

Desert Music is literally his only worthwhile piece. Everything else he's done just sounds like a mediocre retread.

>>73285330
This 100%

>>73285282
>nobody can discuss entry level musicians because anon doesn't like it

>>73282231

octet

6 marimbas is awesome

Morton Feldman blows that crusty old edgelord out of the water.

>Music for 18 Musicians

Babby's first minimalism

Where to start with minimalism? I've listened to The Pearl (Harold Budd / Brian Eno with Daniel Lanois), Outside the Dream Syndicate (Tony Conrad with Faust) and Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror ( Harold Budd / Brian Eno). I wasn't really impressed by anything other than Ambient 2, which isn't just minimalist.

>>73286469
mfw none of those are minimalist

>>73286675
That's why I wanted some recommendations for "pure" minimalist albums.

Never go full pseud, kids.

Anyone here a Wim Mertens fan?

Or any music similar to his Belly score?

Reminder that nothing past 1970 is Minimalist. Minimalism referred to the experimental practice of excessive repetition in pieces like Piano Phase, Come Out, and Four Organs. Anything involving any intuitive musical development like Drumming or MF18M is Post Minimal.

Come Out is the greatest composition of all time.

Proverb is a musical composition by Steve Reich for three sopranos, two tenors, two vibraphones, and two electric organs. It is set to a text by Ludwig Wittgenstein.[1] It was written in 1995 and was originally intended for The Proms and the Utrecht Early Music Festival. It was premiered at Alice Tully Hall in New York City on February 10, 1996 by Theatre of Voices with Paul Hillier, to whom the piece is dedicated.[2]
Proverb was written during a period when Reich was experimenting with "speech melody", and is influenced by the period Reich spent working on The Cave with Paul Hillier and singers with a strong background in medieval polyphony. This is especially apparent in the two tenor parts, which pay homage to Pérotin and organum in their use of rhythmic modes and pedal points. The text is: "How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life!" This text is an excellent explanation of the piece itself, as well as perhaps Reich's career, much of it spent exploring minimalism.
