The Ambient Century: From Mahler to Trance was an in depth study of the evolution of sound in which minimalist music was mentioned in the chapter ‘the new simplicity.’ This book was useful in describing what minimalist music was about. Minimalist music was described as “music as a gradual process’” as well as “the colour of light and the sound of rain” all these different creative descriptions helped visualize and generate ideas for an object. A particular quote that stood out was, “the very act of creating a piece of minimalistic music was the music itself.” This made me think about how important the process of making the object was rather than the end result.
