Transcript: HOW Steve mARTLand WHY WHEn Iyanu Oladapo-Ojo Today we will be talking about Steve MaRTALND and HIS MUSIC w rizz milos The type of music that steve martland used was WHAT Minimalistic For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NPcSmI_hOU whAT IS MINIMALISTIC MUSIC IQ Minimal music is a form of art music or other compositional practice that employs limited or minimal musical materials. Prominent features of minimalist music include repetitive patterns or pulses, steady drones, consonant harmony, and reiteration of musical phrases or smaller units Principia analysis IDEAS In here ;-; Principia World Is in Heaven Re-Mix Shoulder to Shoulder Crossing the Border American Invention Danceworks: Dance 4 Danceworks: Dance 3 Danceworks: Dance 2 Like the man himself, Martland's music is joyfully, wilfully energetic, it's riotously noisy, and brazenly, brilliantly brash; it's occasionally complex, but more often than not it's gleefully approachable, and it's never anything but engagingly, viscerally compelling. Martland found his own idiom that's as far away as possible from the well-behaved refinement of some of his British contemporaries. A piece like Beat the Retreat is ballsy and obstreperous, at least to those delicate souls who think that regular beats and in-your-face rock-inspired instrumental lineups really aren't what contemporary music ought to be doing. But Steve never wanted to lose his audience either, nor did he subscribe to the ideologies of high modernist mannerism. His music is full of top tunes, infectious rhythmic power, and bold, poster-paint colours. It communicates through the new contexts he created for it, whether through performing groups (he set up The Steve Martland Band to play his music), record labels (he was signed to Factory in the 1980s), and audiences.
