Postminimalism refers to works influenced by minimal music, and it is generally categorized within the meta-genre art music. The style flourished in the 80s & 90s and characterized by: a steady pulse, usually continuing throughout a work or movement; a diatonic pitch language, tonal in effect but avoiding traditional functional tonality; general evenness of dynamics, without strong climaxes or nuanced emotionalism; and unlike minimalism, an avoidance of obvious or linear formal design.
