Ambient and Experimental Music
Many of the composers working in a minimalist style are considered avant garde musicians in the conventional music world. Many of them do not make the
usual Sound Art lists, but are important contributors the the arts through stylistic or technological innovation, or have participated in important events curated
by artistic institutions. That is why this section has been added as an expansion of the Sound Arts page.
