Lowercase is an extreme form ofambient[1][2]minimalism in which very quiet sounds are amplified to extreme levels. Minimal artistSteve Roden popularized the movement with an album entitledForms of Paper, in which he made recordings of himself handling paper in various ways. These recordings were commissioned by theHollywood branch of theLos Angeles Public Library.[3]
Steve Roden stated this about the lowercase tendencies which he began to develop in his later works: “It bears a certain sense of quiet and humility; it doesn't demand attention, it must be discovered... It’s the opposite of capital letters—loud things which draw attention to themselves.”[4]
