📷 Feel the Rhythm of DOWNTEMPO / AMBIENT!🎙 Explore the evolution of MINIMALISM, starting from 1959. Dive into the iconic music that revolutionized dance floors:
✨ **Origins**: At the end of the fifties, the very first synthesizer was invented. It was a huge and expensive machine (not like the commercial synthesizers released around 1969) that could only be used by academic researchers. A handful of European composers, inspired by Musique Concrète, had the chance to work with it and immediately saw this as a golden opportunity to defy all formal musical conventions. This electronic avant-garde (regarded by many artists today as genial grandmasters) created spacey, interwoven compositions with lots of silence and long notes. There was no rhythm or pattern to be found, it was non-serial by definition. One could think that this would bother the listener, but thanks to its slow tempo and soothing, space- or underwater-like sounds, Minimalistic music is very gentle to the ear. These “droning” sounds make Minimalism the very first genre of drone music.
🎵 **Highlights**: Minimalists drew cues from the most outlying corners of the musical universe: melodies from the Middle East, mathematical structure from eastern cultures, hallucinogenic drugs and experimental classical music such as Claude Débussy. They used western instruments and technology on eastern music structure and theory – the result was one of the most influential electronic music genres of all time.
📖 **Evolution**: A brief backlash by female vocalists known as Voice Music, ensued Minimalism. These artists renounced what they regarded as exorbitantly cold, machined, rational, technical and masculine music. Their fear that the world of music would change into a field where mathematicians pulled the strings and emotion was banned, (luckily) turned out to be unjust.
