Basically I like Minimalism in the sense of complexity.
I don’t like it in the sense of çreativity or originality.
A lot of minimal music sounds like it was AI generated.

In Pop and Rock music I definitely have an afinity to minimalism. That is why my favourite bands were rather in the new wave area like The Cure, New Order, Sisters of Mercy and stuff like that. Especially when thinking about that I actually would like to make myself if I made music.

My entry point to minimal film music was Michael Nyman with his Greenaway scores. That means, I recognized it, but wasn’t a fan. That changed with The Piano and then Gattaca.

I have one digital album of a Max Richter score: Taboo. Because I liked the title theme. Which is not on the album.
Didn’t do much for me.

On the other hand Korzeniowski for me often adds that little bit to that often pointless and boring minimalism that makes it interesting and enjoyable.

You mentioned Marianelli, another favourite of mine.
But typical for those minimalists is, that I just like a certain little subset of their work, that I find interesting enough.

Someone where I like most of his minimal work is Joe Hisaishi. He is in the meantime probably my biggest minimalism hero.
