What do you guys think of this track? It's not necessarily IDM, but it uses some of the chord progressions/aural aesthetics that I tend to associate with the genre. Although it falls more into the realm of electroacoustic art music, I wanted to get your guys take on it. Do you think this style and its ideas were a precursor to IDM? Regardless of all these questions it's a cool piece and I'm curious of your opinions on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgUyROdpGU0

Sounds like an minimal composition piece to me. You tube Terry Riley or Steve Reich. Maybe there is IDM out there influenced by them.. I don't know. On Tue, Sep 19, 2017 at 8:00 PM, Ethan Tackett <thanea4@gmail.com> wrote:

Quickly got bored mulling over the semantics of what qualifies something as minimal.. and then I came across Iannis Xenakis' Electroacoustic music.. Can't really define electroacoustical either but maybe it's a better example of what you were thinking of? Have you listened to Microstoria's Model 3, Step 2? Kind of reminds me of Xenakis a little. I used to love that one. On Wed, Sep 20, 2017 at 4:53 PM, Ransom Schafer <ransom.schafer@gmail.com> wrote:
