Minimalist music is a genre characterized by the use of simple rhythmic and melodic patterns, often repeated and slowly evolving over time. While it emerged in the 1960s and 70s, minimalist music continues to be influential in contemporary music, particularly in the realm of film scores. Synonyms for minimalist music include "repetitive music", "pulse music", and "process music". These terms all emphasize the cyclical and incremental nature of the music, which often relies on the gradual introduction and layering of elements.
