Minimalism



Minimalism is simply defined as:
"A style of art in which the least possible amount of form shapes, colors, or lines are used to reduce the concept or idea to its simplest form"
This style influenced music by the slowing down of musical processes through the repetition-with-variation of short fragments.
In literature that aims at reducing the elements in a text to a bare minimum.
there is a track by "Porcupine tree" in the album "In Absentia (2002)" that bares this kind of minimalism in its lyrics.


Lips Of Ashes

Paralysed
Lips of Ashes
Synchronised
Blue vein crashes

Touching you inside

Idolised
Black Eyes fading
You and I
Connection failing

I drill down inside

nice poem and also nice subject you for discussable style ,i love this style in architecture too and it has its most influence in designing mosques and churches or temples and specially houses ,emptiness allows us to see space as it is, to see architecture as it is, preventing it from being corrupted, or hidden, by the incidental debris of paraphernalia of every day life.

thank you Mona for your comments.
In my opinion there is a pretty good accepting for us as East to think and act minimalistic. When you consider Rubaiyat in our Persian literature or Haiku in Japanese, you see that.

The link was useful, good renderings can be found at here.
