MINIMAL

Post by The Remix »

intellectual, ballanced and quality use of sound and lack of sound at the same time- lots of different sounds that alot of people wouldn't typically view as musical elements.

Using clicks cuts plops- twangs some vocal smaples- great basslines - or not. Scrapes-clanking- strings- drums- jumbled sounds- soulful sounds- acid types sounds (ALL OF THESE OR NONE OF THESE AT TIMES)

High energy and chill at times too.

Very technical at points and very soulful with some-- for having such a restrictive title - it has boundless possibilities and descriptions.

Period.

I don’t like the idea of minimal being more or less intellectual then any other type of music, but there is an imaginative element you can’t ignore. There’s room for your imagination to run loose, and the freedom to interpret.

That's why I love minimal

The Remix: I like how you brought balance up, I feel the same way, the music sits right in the middle… it’s awesome..

every time this discussion pops up there are some people mentioning terms like "sophisticated and intelligent"
I never really understood that :oops:
