"Minimalist music" has its own largely rigid definition in modern classical music (a genre that Steve Reich, Philip Glass and La Monte Young have contributed to), but Cool Hunting has highlighted how contemporary artists are taking these compositional techniques and applying them in their own music across all genres—be it ambient, pop, folk or electronic.

What do you make of these reductionist albums?

Amid all the new tricks and twists of expensive recording studios brimming with expensive gear and excessive arrangements from eager producers, these reductionist albums speak out to Cool Hunting:

Harsh truth
Beautifully illustrated by Alice Tait, Pam Ayres' poem about The Last Hedgehog is a clever set of verses about the demise of the hedgehog population. Although the rhyme makes readers want to laugh, it highlights the dangers to hedgehogs caused by contemporary society. With this short book, Ayres hopes to open the eyes of the ignorant and change people's attitudes to nature.
