Space K.K.
"Space K.K." is a K.K. Slider song that first appears in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The song's Japanese name, translating to 'Minimal Music,' is a reference to minimalist music, a postmodern genre that originated from America in the 1960s; fitting for minimalism, the song contains sparse, repeated melodies with limited amounts of instruments. However, unlike the classically-based music that defined minimalism in its original form, "Space K.K." is more rooted in the electronic minimalism characteristic of mid-to-late 1970's works in the genre such as Discreet Music and Low by British art rock musicians Brian Eno and David Bowie, respectively.
