Cool – galloping resonances, inviting tones, sparkling reverberations …. tangy and shimmering. I like the first piece the most.

What constitutes “post-rock,” I wonder?

Cheers,
Mary

Thanks, Mary and Star!  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Mary, there are far too many music genres these days!  Here is Wikipedia's definition of post-rock: 

“Post-rock is a genre of alternative rock characterized by the use of musical instruments commonly associated with rock music, but using rhythms, harmonies, melodies, timbre, and chord progressions that are not usually found in rock tradition. It is the use of 'rock instrumentation' for non-rock purposes. Practitioners of the genre's style typically produce instrumental music.”
