About Tom Johnson

American composer and critic Tom Johnson (born November 18, 1939 in Greeley, Colorado), 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 free online. He has lived in Paris since 1983. His pieces are most often based simply on mathematical and logical processes, such as tiling, which he attempts to make as clear as possible.
