Abstract
The first section of this essay criticizes the theoretical intervention performed by Michael Nyman on the notions of "Minimalism" and "experimental music", pointing to some usual confusions. The second section proposes a definition of Minimalism in terms of an "artistic materialism", and tackles several problems an concepts relating to Minimal music: its relationship to Minimalism in plastic arts; its exchanges with several currents of jazz and pop music; the relationship between the American and the European musical avant-gardes. The third section is a detailed review of a series of concerts and lectures around Minimal music which took place in La Casa Encendida, in Madrid, on March 2008.
