Tom Johnson

American composer and critic Tom Johnson (born 1939) is one of the few composers to self-identify as minimalist, in fact, he may have coined the term while serving as the new music critic for the Village Voice. He has since collected those articles in the book The Voice of New Music which is available for free through the external link below. He has lived in Paris, France, since 1983.

His pieces are most often based simply on mathematical and logical processes, which he attempts to make as clear as possible. His works include: Rational Melodies, An Hour for Piano, and The Four Note Opera.
