Why do they move the microphones like that instead of just singing from soft to loud and soft again?

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning, it is very texturally thick, with very many different parts playing and singing concurrently

# data[].attributes.body
why did they decide to use 4 sticks instead of 2 sticks? Why cant they get more people to play the xylophones?

extremely repetitive

I can infer this style of music is minimalism or perhaps impressionism, due to the excess repetition, such that it becomes the form of the piece (quote Mr Sascia) and impressionism because of the blurriness and haziness. Makes me imagine scenery and wildlife on a foreign land.

This can be connected to the concept of repetition in music.
