极简合成器Minimal Synth

在其最常见的形式中，最小合成器完全基于模拟合成器和鼓机。最小的合成黄金时代是从20世纪70年代末到80年代中期，显然它从来没有针对MTV/VH1播放，一直保持在地下。这一流派的特点是色调阴暗而喜怒无常。

它有一个黯淡的剥离的声音，与原始的模拟合成，脉动的鼓点，和冷淡/分离的人声。这种没有人声的相同类型的音乐也被称为最小的电子产品(Minimal Electronics)。最小的合成唱片往往表现出DIY的品质，与其他形式的流行音乐相比，有些是相当实验性的。80年代早期大多数合成流行的主要流派是新浪潮，最小的合成也是如此，伞形流派是最小形式的新浪潮：最小的浪潮。

在本说明书中解释的最小合成特征通常受到黑暗摇摆者和前卫流行音乐和电子音乐爱好者的青睐。当时，许多极小的Synth唱片的发行量非常有限，因此已经成为收藏家的藏品，在线拍卖网站上的7张唱片可以卖到几百美元。甚至现在的行为，比如电话和强尼·莫卧儿，发行的标签都很吸引人！COLCOLATES和安娜·罗格唱片公司(Anna Logue Records)越来越受追捧。一些有影响力的艺术家有约翰·福克斯、克拉夫特沃克、维萨奇、布莱恩·伊诺、YMO、人类联盟、大卫·鲍伊和软细胞。一些值得注意的最小合成艺术家包括：妮妮·拉维奥莱特、杰夫和简·哈德森、ADN‘Ckrystall、Guyer’s Connection、The Short Wave Mystery、Oviformia-SCi和凝固汽油弹婴儿。

In its most common form Minimal Synth is entirely based on analog synthesizers and drum machines.

Minimal Synth golden era was from late 1970s to mid 1980s, obviously it never was aimed for MTV/VH1 play and has remained underground. The genre is characterised by dark and moody tones. It has a bleak stripped down sound, with raw analog synths, a pulsating drum beat, and cold/detached vocals. This same sort of music without the vocals is also referred to as Minimal Electronics.

Minimal Synth records tend to show a DIY quality, some are pretty experimental when compared to other forms of pop music. The overarching genre of most early '80s synth pop is New Wave, the same applies for minimal synth, the umbrella genre is New Wave in its minimal form: Minimal Wave. The Minimal Synth features explained in this description are often favoured by dark wavers and the avant-garde pop and electronic music fans.

Many Minimal Synth records were released in very limited quantities at the time, so have become collectors’ items and 7"s can go for several hundred dollars at online auction sites. Even current acts, such as The Phone and Jonni Mogul, and releases by labels such as Attractive! Co-ordinates and Anna Logue Records are increasingly sought after.

Some examples of influential artists are John Foxx, Kraftwerk, Visage, Brian Eno, YMO, The Human League, David Bowie, and Soft Cell. Some noteworthy minimal synth artists include: Nini Raviolette, Jeff & Jane Hudson, ADN' Ckrystall, Guyer's Connection, The Short Wave Mystery, Oviformia-SCI and Napalm Babies.
