Mon music

Minimal music, or "mon" music, is a style characterized by repetitive, steady patterns and gradual changes over time. It emphasizes simplicity and subtle shifts rather than complex melodies or large-scale contrasts. Composers often use loops or repeated motifs to create a hypnotic, meditative experience. This approach encourages listeners to focus on texture, timbre, and the evolving nature of sound, often resulting in a calming or immersive atmosphere. Minimal music is often associated with composers like Steve Reich, Philip Glass, and Terry Riley, and it has significantly influenced contemporary genres and experimental sounds.
