bmurator US Avant-Garde Brutalist Jazz. I love the minimalist attitudes here! Proof that less is indeed more. At the same time, some of the compositions are extremely playful which is a pleasure to hear! Thanks Miesian! Recommended! Favorite track: Concentric.

about

What would brutalist architecture sound like if it were music? Less is more. Essential building materials: glass, steel and concrete become saxophone, bass and drums.

Style and design are present, but ornamentation is scarce. Reverb/delay pedals and amplification add the slightest of texture and variety.

An expressionist interpretation of stark, functional principles, exemplified through symmetry and asymmetry existing in harmonious, austere, rectilinearity.

Argot explores these notions through song titles gleaned from the selective lens of art and design jargon.

This is Miesian, less is more.
