Just experimented with sounds using Reich's methods. I thought this sounded cool so I wanted to share with you guys. Hopefully you guys get a kick out of it.

I think your work is great. I seldom listen to / compose minimalistic music but permutations of notes are always interesting to me! (which reminds me of permutation in group theory in mathematics)

I've just checked out Steve Reich's works and I find it inspiring! I think I will write a minimalistic work too.

I am thinking if polyphony is contradictory to minimalism though.

Thanks for listening! Glad you found it interesting. 

I think Minimalism is still polyphony, depending on how its composed. In this case, it's still polyphony because while the notes are the same, the timing is shifted becoming a new phrase each time. 

Speaking of Reich, check out this piece:
