Never too late to start!

Indeed, so (too) much music to explore! 😉

Glass, Riley, Reich, Nyman, that kind of stuff — I’ve never been able to grasp that properly. I mean, there’s some I like. I enjoy Glass’ VISITORS, Nyman’s THE PIANO and some Greenaway.

Nyman can be tough because he is often more “scratchy” chamber music. I don’t love everything. Another more lyrical and almost morriconesque score of his basically western score THE CLAIM. Or WONDERLAND if I recall right.

Glass can be a little tiresome being a bit too repetitive (even if technically it often isn’t).

Wouldn’t Sakamoto also fit in this “minimalistic” vein often?
