== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Minimalism''' β A style of music (late 20th century) based on "Consonace," "Steady Pulse," and "Repetition" of "Short Musical Patterns." * '''Phase Shifting''' β A technique (Reich) where "Two identical lines" start together but "Slowly pull apart" (one gets slightly faster), creating "New Patterns" through "Interference." * '''Ambient Music''' β Music designed to be "Ignorable as well as Interesting" (Eno), focusing on "Atmosphere" and "Texture" rather than "Melody" or "Structure." * '''Arpeggio''' β A "Broken Chord": playing the notes of a chord "One by One" in a "Continuous Loop" (The "Signature" of Philip Glass). * '''Synthesizer''' β An "Electronic Instrument" that "Generates" and "Manipulates" "Sound Waves" from scratch (e.g. 'Moog'). * '''Tape Looping''' β The "Pre-cursor" to digital sampling: "Cutting and Splicing" "Magnetic Tape" to create a "Continuous Sound Loop." * '''Post-Minimalism''' β A "Softer" version of minimalism that "Includes" "Emotion" and "Melody" (e.g., 'John Adams'). * '''Drones''' β A "Continuous, Low Sound" that stays "Static" for "Long Periods," focusing the mind on "Subtle Changes" in the sound. * '''Generative Music''' β Music that "Changes Every Time" you hear it because it is "Created by a System" (or AI) following "Rules." * '''Additive Process''' β Starting with a "Small Unit" (e.g. 1-2-3) and "Adding Notes" one by one (1-2-3-4 -> 1-2-3-4-5) to "Build" a structure. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
