Minimalist Music


I research a very unusual style of music called 'minimalist music'. It's a style which focuses on repeating patterns which creates a hypnotic-like mood. I found this to be fitting with my final project as they are both very simplistic but at the same time are an art because of it. Minimalist music is very repetitive and follows a pulse, a rhythm, unlike traditional music which uses melodies. It consists of patterns that change over time making the listener think about the overall piece as one big image rather than individual parts.
