Described as an exercise in subtraction minimal music should not be thought of as “incomplete” music but rather as finished compositions. “It’s not a genre but rather a way of relating to music” says Michael Mayer, key man behind Kompakt (one of the sector’s most talked-about labels) and the person who first came up with the term minimal-techno. “Here pieces of music are written exclusively focusing on what’s indispensable”. Cutting away the superfluous to attain the quintessence of music. Worth listening to.
