@@petergivenbless900 There is a difference between simplicity and monotony. I am familiar with Philip Glass from back in the 70's when I studied music education in college.
@@pdavide1 yeah, I guess you can call it "monotony" because it stays in E Phrygian, but the scale repetition with shifting meter and harmonic voicing is textbook Minimalism.
@@petergivenbless900 I guess you either get Philip Glass or you don't. I was first exposed to his work through the choreographer Twyla Tharp several decades ago. I really love this guitar arrangement. I saw Satyagraha on PBS about 10 years ago. I'm 75 now and I wish that I had several more lifetimes just to explore the world of music.
This is almost literally true: I was once typing in parts of "Koyaanisqtsi" onto MusicScore, and CTRl-C and -V was used _a lot!_ 🙂OTOH typing in, say, Herrmann's "Vertigo" was much more work, even the repeated string glissandi near the beginning of "Scottie's Nightmare" are NOT identical, although they sound practically the same, you have to just type it by hand.
I see Philip Glass discovered the art of cut and paste.
The whole point of Minimalism is to explore the beauty of simplicity.
