This is Stefan Schwander, one of my personal musical gods, who records as Antonelli Electr., among other aliases. I'm posting 3 tracks (briefly!!!!!) that he recorded under the name Repeat Orchestra. Schwander's gift is knowing when a musical phrase of the barest few notes has enough intrinsic worth to hang an entire 6 or 7 minute song on it. In this sense musical minimalism (of the techno variety) is very different from Minimalism in the art world, where practitioners had a kind of studied indifference to beauty. Sheet metal boxes on the gallery floor and all that. I see this more as how much can you take out and still have something ultimately seductive and danceable?
