Minimalism

On air on Tasty TV — always on, pick a channel, not a video.

Minimal music employs limited musical materials, featuring repetitive patterns, steady drones, consonant harmony, and reiteration of musical phrases. The approach is non-narrative and non-teleological, calling attention to the activity of listening by focusing on the internal processes of the music.

Part of: modern classical

Beneath it: holy minimalism, post-minimalism, reductionism, totalism
