Reductionism is a form of improvised music that developed towards the end of the 20th century.[1] The centres of the music include Berlin, London, Tokyo and Vienna.[1] The key characteristics of the music include microtonality, extended techniques, very soft and quiet dynamics, silence, and unconventional sounds and timbres.[1]

Some of the leading names associated with reductionism are Radu Malfatti[2], Toshimaru Nakamura, Axel Dörner and Rhodri Davies.
