Minimal to the next level
Darling Andrew poppy: The better halfs of Philip Glass, Steve Reich, et altera: Taking Minimal Music to the next level; Minimal Pop. Friendly, melancholic melodies repeated and progressed seemingly endlessly ...sticking in your head forever when the DO though... Minimal Pop...?) For instance Cadenza (for piano and electric piano) is not only minimal in it's progressive toning to it's ultimate extent, even strictly minimal in the amount of notes/patterns used, but still a really strong piece emotionally. In the 80's it was sort of Bon-Ton to combine traditional (orchestral) and modern (electronic) instruments; I think Andrew Poppy found the true solution to that 'contradictio in terminis'. While sneaking classical music into modern-music-times&habits he succeeds every time to. Though his 1st album 'The Beating of Wings' [1st 4 songs of the 1st CD) has it all, and later on there's mainly-more-of-the-same-really... minimal enough for you?
