104-Minimalism and Popular Music

Update: 2024-08-28

Description

This episode discusses claims that Minimalism (and minimal music more widely understood) boils down to advertising and propaganda (riffing on interviews by Elliott Carter and Philip Glass). I look at some pop songs that were clearly influenced by Minimalism, some that are parallel to it, and some that are simply minimalist in some manner.
