On Minimalism Book Launch!
Acclaimed authors William Robin, Kerry O'Brien, in conversation with Alan Licht and Kee Ranaldo!
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. On Minimalism, a new book published by University of California Press on April 25, moves from the style's beginnings in psychedelic counterculture through its present-day in influences on ambient jazz, doom metal, and electronic music. Kerry O'Brien and William Robin look beyond the major figures to highlight crucial and diverse voices—especially women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ musicians—that have shaped the genre.
