Totalism is a music genre characterized by its intricate layering of rhythms and textures, often incorporating driving pulses, repetitive motifs, and a hybridization of minimalist and post-minimalist aesthetics. The style typically employs complex interlocking patterns and polyrhythms that create a rich tapestry of sound, while still maintaining a sense of forward momentum. It emerged in the late 20th century, embracing a variety of influences ranging from classical to avant-garde, and from world music to rock. Totalism's composers and performers favor an immersive, energetic sound that stretches the listener's perception of time and space, often with a marked intensity and occasionally even a spiritual dimension. This music challenges and expands the boundaries of conventional harmony, offering a densely layered sonic experience.
