Re: [microsound] minimalism further

[Julian Knowles <julianknowles@xxxxxxx>]

just one more thing i wanted to add

Your idea that minimalism can be a consequence rather than a goal is 
very interesting and useful. I am thinking in particular of the silent 
works of Cage.... in these works, the objective was not to be minimal 
per se, but to focus on removing the composer's intention from the work 
and engaging the audience in the concept of all sound in a musical 
framework.  The result clearly had a very minimal quality but the 
compositional intent was not 'minimalism'.

julian
