Does the simplification in music on minimalism and modernism reflect a simplification in human emotions and movements? Are human beings unable to feel more complex emotions because of the simplification of our music?
I do believe that the simplification of music has, in some part, taken a toll on our creativity and our emotional status, but not in full but minimalist music lends its way to different philosophies and thoughts which we would not have had before with more complex music. Though minimalist music is simple to create, I do believe that there is some minimalist music which is more developed. For example, a modern song could have a chord progression of Am, G, and F, but a more developed minimalist song would utilize those chords in different, innovative new ways which would express a new way of thinking.
Moreover, music is something difficult to advanced because there is only so much one can do with it and I feel it is too closely tied to form.
