Minimal music of Terry Riley
I really enjoy Riley's composition style. Though minimal and somewhat monotonous, I perceive his music as sort of an athletic race to the finish line. I see movement in his music very clearly-lines going up and down, colors, etc. The quality of his music allows for greater attention to the subtle additions and subtractions of instruments. "In C" is not overstimulating, however "A Rainbow in Curved Air" might be on the cusp of that categorization :)
