A revisionist history of minimalism's transformative rise, through
the voices of the musicians who created it. When composers like
Philip Glass and Steve Reich began creating hypnotically repetitive
music in the 1960s, it upended the world of American composition.
But minimalism was more than a classical phenomenon—minimalism
changed everything. Its static harmonies and groovy pulses swept
through the broader avant-garde landscape, informing the work of
Yoko Ono and Brian Eno, John and Alice Coltrane, Pauline Oliveros
and Julius Eastman, and many others. Â On Minimalism moves
from the style's beginnings in psychedelic counterculture through
its present-day influences on ambient jazz, doom metal, and
electronic music. The editors look beyond the major figures to
highlight crucial and diverse voices—especially women, people of
color, and LGBTQ+ musicians—that have shaped the genre. Featuring
more than a hundred rare historical sources, On Minimalism curates
this history anew, documenting one of the most important musical
movements of our time.
