It's easy to write a minimalist piece following the Philip Glass formula:
  1. Take 3 or 4 chords, preferably minor triads.
  2. Break these chords into arpeggio figures, like doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle (in 8th notes) or doodly-doodly-doodly-doodly (in triplets) or doodly-diddly-doodly-diddly or some other variation of it.
  3. Then copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste,copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, etc.
If you wish you can add a hint of melody after n repetitions or so.
