Re: [microsound] Re: articles on minimalism

Strickland's book is comprehensive, if a little concerned with who did what first. 'Out of the Box' by Carter Ratcliff covers the period after minimalism, which is just as interesting if not more so.

I am currently doing research for an article on
minimalism (in music,
poetry, aesthetics, etc.)  What are some of the
"essential" writings in
this area??


I am currently reading and enjoying a fine overview of
the movement/impulse which gives about equal time to
visual arts (esp. painting and sculpture) and music.
The book is MINIMALISM:ORIGINS, and the author is
Edward Strickland, whose background and writing
actually centers more on music.  This a refreshing
change, and though I get the feeling like the author
has a snidely dismissive attitude about what he
conceives as "postmodernism", the book still seems
fascinating and informative, three-quarters of the way
through.
