The debate over minimalist music that's been going on here (and here, and here) and on Kyle Gann's PostClassic may have slowed to a trickle, but new opinions continue to surface. Bruce Hodges added his perspective -- accompanied by a stellar visual, as usual -- at Monotonous Forest a few days ago. Earlier today, Tim Rutherford-Johnson had his say at The Rambler, and presented another striking piece of visual art.
If you still haven't had your fill, tune in to WNYC-FM on Monday, August 27 at 2pm, when Kyle and I join John Schaefer on Soundcheck for what should prove to be a lively discussion of the subject. New Yorkers can tune in live at 93.9 FM; everyone else can listen via Windows Media Player or an MP3 stream, or dig the show out of the archives after Monday.
