Some scholars suggest that minimalist music emerged from a blend of Western classical traditions with cyclical structures from non-Western music. They propose that composers like Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and Philip Glass drew inspiration from Indonesian Gamelan and African drumming in the 1960s and '70s, birthing minimalist music. However, others, like the writers at Musicophilia, propose a more plausible theory: that the roots, peak, and influences of minimalist music lie within African and Afrodiasporic musical traditions. In this view, minimalist music didn't emerge from the integration of African elements into Western music but rather originated from African musicians themselves.
According to Musicophilia, the music found on 'Afrominimalism' (a compilation of tracks from the '60s and '70s) showcases various manifestations of minimalism with a shared essence. Minimalism here encompasses several aspects: giving equal weight to sounds and silences, carefully spacing out sounds, using restraint to amplify impact, employing fewer and simpler elements in intricate combinations, and prioritizing the whole over its parts. In essence, minimalism in music is where less truly becomes more.
