Certain rhythms and chords in other music may identify things like jazz or bossa nova or reggae; take those same elements and put them through the processes of minimalism and you have minimalism with the hues of other musics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA still young genre with ancient roots, minimalism is much less any kind of style than a practice, a manner of making music. Reviving those means and applying them to contemporary sounds and experiences, the pioneers of minimalism created a new and avant-garde music that immediately communicated its power to listeners of all kinds. The global appeal of minimalism and the way the methods adapt to myriad styles open up a view into how music actually works as an art and an experience, how through time it connects in a fundamental way to how we as humans listen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":56362650304843,"sku":"R5044-3859","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/515HY3dnsVL._SY522.jpg?v=1769083134"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/george-grella.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
