Best rhythmic melodic minimalism beyond soft neoclassical. Focus propulsive pulse layered patterns bright ensemble writing and strong harmonic motion from @Michael Gordon @Andrew Poppy @David Lang @John Adams plus top-tier acclaimed lesser-known composers. Energetic immersive accessible but serious. No Einaudi-style piano no ambient no drone no harsh dissonance no noise no microtonal experiments no academic oddities no sentimental cinematic music no solo piano no amateur.
