totalism can be explained as a continuation of minimalism. In totalism you can find unique and complex polyrhythms

Minimalism is tend to focus on simple harmony and melody with lack of chords, and used of many repetition and short phrases to make the music minimal. To simplify the definition of minimalism, it is based on repetition of slowly changing common chord in constant rhythm.

Minimalism is a style of music which was developed on the west coast of america in the early 1960’s with writer such as Terry riley, philip Glass and Steve reich.  Minimalist  music often portray several component in music for instance layers of ostinati; are basically patterns which are repeated many times whether in a harmonic way, melodic or rhythmic way.

Minimalist music started at the middle of 20th century. It was the one that pushed classical music back to a corner, the one that inspired all genre’s of music today including punk and techno. There are several techniques in minimalism that composers used to create minimalist music which includes augmentation, diminution, note addition, note subtraction, melodic transformation, rhythmic displacement and polyrhythms.

Totalism has a complex rhythm and it came after post minimalism. It tends to be very restricted with its harmony but it does not adhere to prettiness. I believe that this brings out more questions from the public because totalism has a total change of music in its genre itself compared to other genres like minimalism.

The three criterias for a piece to be considered minimalist includes regular, articulated pules, usage of tonal harmony with slow harmonic rhythm and the repetition of small cells in the formation of a large structure. Through the repetition of just one single cell and articulated beats, the composers highlighted the simplicity of their compositions. For example, the Music in 12 Parts by Philip Glass, in which each part is a repetition of the same motif.

Minimalism is a branch of modern classic music which originated on the West coast of America, New York in the 1960s.

Minimalist music often features, layers of obstinati which is melodic, harmonic and rhythmic patterns that are being repeated many times. Diatonic harmony which uses notes that belonged to the key rather than the chromatic notes which are outside the key.

Minimalism is originated from the West coast of America in 1960s (Minimalism). It is a repetition of rhythm with gradual change. Minimalism invented different techniques, including note addition (extension of notes in each bar by separating a note into two or more notes), melodic transformation (the whole melody is moving up or down vertically on the stave, change of melody), rhythmic transformation (the rhythm is played later by adding rest in front, change of rhythm), ostinati (repeated melodic, harmonic and rhythmic patterns) and note subtraction (replacing note with rest). An example which used those techniques was Electric Counterpoint, Movement III from Steve Reich.

Those techniques asked a change from traditional music. It is a technique of repetition with the exploration of timbre and rhythm, similar with science with the unstopped pursue of improvement and exploration for better development.

Totalism is a music that was created during 1980s and 1990s as a response to minimalism, it is one of the newer versions of experimental music compared to minimalism and modernism. Totalism is another type experimental music form of minimalism but was a response of having more rhyming complexity thus being rhythmically polynomial, thus also allowing the music pieces to sound more energetic in terms of tempo and rhythm but not exactly for the sound.  The style began to become popular in 1990 when the name was acquired, composers in New York like John Luther Adams, Kyle Gann, Diana Meckley, Ben Neill and many more started to include similar tempos structures into their composition which made the genre more exposed in their society.

Minimalism was initially viewed as a form of experimental music as it was something unheard of before and probed to ask questions. However the movement began to spread all across America becoming the most popular experimental music style of the 20th century because of its simplicity yet complexed texture that has revolved around ‘less is more’ (Sargent 2012).

It uses techniques like ostinato, rhythm displacement, note addition/substraction, augmentation, diminution and polyrhythm. This is evidently shown in minimalistic pieces of Steve Reich, Terry Riley and Philip Glass.

Minimalism is a style that uses pared-down design elements. Minimalism began in post–World War II Western art, most strongly with American visual arts in the 1960s and early 1970s. Prominent artists associated with minimalism include Donald Judd, John McCracken, Agnes Martin, Dan Flavin, Robert Morris, Anne Truitt, John Luther Adam and Frank Stella.

Minimalism was an original word that is minimal which means the use of simple form and structure this is why Minimalism is counted as an extreme musical material.

Minimalism is a musical movement in which composers returned to the foundations of music: rhythm, melodies and harmonies.

1) Some Minimalism techniques are found throughout the genre: for example, ostinato (repetition of a phrase), note subtraction (removing one note from the melody), and rhythmic displacement (melody is moved one beat from its original position).

2) Totalism is a response to Minimalism- it uses Minimalism principles (stripping music to the basics) and

Minimalist music indicates a form of music that utilises minimal musical elements; it employs repetitive melodic fragments and rhythmic patterns, as well as gradually changing harmonies.

Minimalism music attaches more importance on essential elements of music such as cells, pitches, dynamics and rhythms.

By utilising several techniques like note addition, augmentation, diminution, polyrhythm and rhythm displacement, Minimalist music pieces produce various rhythm patterns even though they all originated from one base rhythm.
