"Minimalism was the single most important idea of the previous century, the one that made possible virtually all that we now listen to and hold dear, from punk and techno, to ambient and grime. Minimalism wasn't just a movement, it was a paradigm shift: it brought about a sea change in the way that sound is made, heard, and thought of."
