Argot by Miesian

What would brutalist architecture sound like if it were music? Less is more. Essential building materials: glass, steel and concrete become saxophone, bass and drums.

Style and design are present, but ornamentation is scarce. Reverb/delay pedals and amplification add the slightest of texture and variety.

An expressionist interpretation of stark, functional principles, exemplified through symmetry and asymmetry existing in harmonious, austere, rectilinearity.

Argot explores these notions through song titles gleaned from the selective lens of art and design jargon.

This is Miesian, less is more.
