BBC.极简主义音乐的魔力

啊音乐的地缘性！西岸望向亚洲，海波往复，时间漫长，而在东岸抬眼所见尽是，interlocking grid，声音也是angular的；事实证明economy of means也可以成就既thoughtful又moving的音乐；提醒自己要玩玩phasing

内容相当优秀，就是2018年了画风很2008BBC（尤其旁白lol。這個定義很有意思，雖然各位藝術家不會以Minimalist自居但驚訝於原來自己所愛的許多都可以代入這個概念。無知本人屬於每出現一個guest就會嗷一下…提及West Coast的stretched time和NYC重複盤旋的城市風貌真的仿佛一下子就開了竅。

“Because you quit keeping track of time, you quit all of that logic, syntax stuff and you surrender to the music.”

忘记神马时候看完，补下观后感: 极简主义工具箱大概指的是，同一个旋律由不同乐器渐进演奏，两类反差的旋律同时演奏。这两类演奏方式混用使得简单的旋律富于变化，使得不了解古典乐曲式的听众也能沉醉其中。

1958-1976 CA --> NYC // minimalism is music based on the transcendental powers of repetition, coupled with gradual change. Idea of repetition that you could hear a process going on and you could get drawn into sth very subtle. // 第一代 La Monte Young (影响John Cale）, Terry Reily (early synthesisers and tape recorders), Steve Reich (phasing effects; Music for 18 Musicians), Philip Glass (music in twelve parts, Einstein on the Beach) // 第二代 Bang on a Can - David Lang, Michael Gordon, Julia Wolfe // 第三代 Nico Muhl, Bryce Dessner // visual artists: Richard Serra, Sol LeWitt // 艺术art material itself is minimal VS 音乐contrast between materials/variations is minimal

非常不错的minimalism音乐历史的介绍，如果有更多的分析音乐本身就更好了

The charms of breaking barriers, extending the boundry and rebuilding a new world

有选择的近乎超人控制力、修行般的、狭义相对论、迷人矛盾体验还有模糊的塌陷

每次接触极简主义（音乐/绘画/雕塑/建筑之类）都会产生一种我也行的错觉，然而其实根本不行...╮(￣▽￣"")╭
