A thread for the discussion of minimalism, ambient and drone
Enjoy
so I just bought Simeon Ten Holt's Canto Ostinato XL (14-hour long 12CD version, with over 100 tracks and lengthy performances of the piece with a massive variety of instrumentation ranging from solo piano, to multiple pianos, to marimbas, to organ, to synthesizers and more).
I got it digitally off amazon for 8 bucks, does anyone want me to upload it to mega? would probably take a while but it's good shit.
which charlemagne palestine albums are the best/alternatively which is the most droney

The collab album with Terry Jennings (Golden 4) is fantastic.

>>tfw finally getting into Theatre of Eternal music beyond the basic shit
Good stuff. I got into all of it at once basically so which of theirs is basic shit?
>>73667270
Basic shit is just the well known stuff, so La Monte Young's Well Tuned Piano and (no offense to OP but) John Cale's stuff
but the side people, Jon Hassell and Terry Jennings and a non-performer but avid fan Henry Flynt and whatnot, geniuses

this is mesmerizing, how was it even made? is it a bunch of overdubs or something? sounds like the opening of Berio's Concerto for Two Pianos or that minimal era Ligeti

this is pretty great. nyc 80s post minimalism performed with peter zummo and arthur russell. beautiful ethereal minimalism with a variety of styles from electric keyboard pieces to vocal pieces.
like russell and other 80s downtown scene new yorkers who dappled in minimalism she also made popular musics. new wave, discoy tracks, and performed on a number of classic 80s downtown scene records of varying styles.
