| | La Monte Young - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | La Monte Young (born October 14, 1935) is an American composer whose eccentric and often hard-to-find works have been included among the most important post World War II avant-garde or experimental music. | | | Young's early works mainly use the twelve tone technique of Arnold Schoenberg (with whom Young studied at Los Angeles), although several of these early pieces were destroyed by the composer. | | | In 1962 Young wrote his first drone based piece in just intonation, The Second Dream of the High-Tension Line Stepdown Transformer, also his first piece to use electronics. |

| | Avantgarde Music. LaMonte Young: biography, discography, reviews, links |
| | La Monte Young, a pupil of John Cage and one of the founders of the Fluxus movement, is the real "inventor" of minimalism. | | | Young has paid the price for his total devotion to radical music by being marginalized: Only three recordings have been issued in thirty years, and public performances have been rare. | | | The spiritual and musical influence of the experience of the Himalayas became etched deeply in his work, which in any event continued to refine the instrumentation of the "Dream House," which blended the drone of the Indian tamboura with the sine wave drone, in a technological simulation of the yin-yang. |

| | Interview with Tony Conrad |
| | Young himself now ignorantly insists on the artistic demolition of this body of work by claiming that it is a series of "compositions" (by him). | | | La Monte Young's early works, you know, were involved with the neo-Dada movement in New York that spawned Fluxus, conceptual art, and happenings. | | | EST: You've picketed La Monte Young in the past, and La Monte Young is presumably well aware of your criticisms of his stance (most notably his unwillingness to unconditionally release recordings by the Theatre of Eternal Music). |

| | La Monte Young has pointed out, and through his music probably demonstrated, that the universe can be comprehended as vibration; that is, as a succession of ongoing cycles. | | | La Monte's work, over nearly fifty years, has taught us to experience time and space in an unprecedented sharpness of detail. | | | For my contribution to this month's four-part celebration of La Monte Young's 70th birthday, I wanted to interpret, under installatory conditions, specific aspects of Young's work from the vantage point of my long engagement with his work as a performer. |

La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela's The Well-Tuned Piano In The ... |
| | La Monte Young comes from the post-Cage/Cowell generation of American composers who became known as minimalists, working, starting in the 1950s and 1960s, at the boundaries of “art music,” jazz, and rock amplification. | | | Composer La Monte Young has devoted his creative life to a continuing exploration of the intersections of spirit, sound, and empirical musical tinkering. | | | For Young and other composers of his generation, the incorporation of non-western musical, aesthetic, and philosophical systems became a crucial creative ingredient. |

| | ALEX CARPENTER - LA MONTE YOUNG: TOWARDS ABSOLUTE MUSIC |
| | Young in New York, particularly through his Compositions 1960, significantly influenced the evolution of concept art and Fluxus. | | | At this time, Young had already commenced a graduate degree in composition at the University of California, Berkeley, and was particularly interested in the music of John Cage. | | | The Trio for Strings shows us that although Young as a student was writing serial music, his objective was far removed from that of the surrounding academic trend, and that at this time he had already begun to question the established role of the 'serious' composer. |

| | Young moved on, working on his Dream House (a long-term sound and lighting environment) and studying with the Indian master vocalist Pandit Pran Nath. | | | By '66 they had splintered over authorship conflicts (Young claims that the music was composed by him, while Conrad and Cale claim that it was communally created) but the group had already laid the groundwork for minimalism in its mature form, to be picked up later by Riley, Reich, and others. | | | The first composer to have created music made up entirely of long sustained tones and arguably the founder of the "minimalist" musical style, though his work bears little resemblence to that of later, better-known figures such as Philip Glass, Steve Reich and Terry Riley. |

| | MELA: La Monte Young - Second Dream press |
| | Young's genius is in the way he lets the notes relate, giving them enough duration, not just to assert themselves, but to create a vast, timeless void. | | | Before there was minimalism there was La Monte Young, an uncompromising composer who was known for 1) an inclination for creating complete environments for his music, sometimes occupying a whole house for his concerts, and 2) creating slowly evolving works of enormous length. | | | As the acknowledged father of minimalism and guru emeritus to the British art- rock school, his [Young's] influence is pervasive. |

| |
| | Following a Straight Line |
| | As a devoted gesture to the concept of the single event, Young wrote all his Compositions 1961 in a singular manner: each of the 29 compositions instructs the performer to 'Draw a straight line and follow it'. | | | Another special instrument is Walter de Maria's Instrument for La Monte Young (1965), consisting of an aluminium ball and trough, 'a sound sculpture for performance with amplification and acoustical design by La Monte Young'. | | | Young's music has had a fair amount of impact, even in Britain, where he has never played. |

| | Still, throughout his career Young remained a largely shadowy figure, often discussed (his connection to the nascent Velvet Underground [+] the most common point of reference) but seldom heard; his influence on the rise of ambient music and drone-rock is undeniable, yet almost subliminal. | | | Upon disbanding in 1965, Conrad, Young and Cale all later staked claim to authoring of the "Eternal Music" aesthetic; Young also held on to the group's live tapes. | | | Undaunted, he continued composing and performing regularly into the 1990s, with his latter-day works including {^The Lower Map of the Eleven's Division in the Romantic Symmetry} and Chronos Kristalla. |

| | Early involved in jazz, during the 1950s La Monte Young was a performer in Los Angeles of jazz saxophone, playing with Eric Dolphy, Ornette Coleman, Billy Higgins, and Don Cherry, among others. | | | Young began work on his ongoing ensemble work The Tortoise, His Dreams and Journeys (1964-present). | | | As well, his work has played a central role in the development of the use of Just Intonation in 20th-century music and the growth of the Minimalist style. |

| | A La Monte Young Web Page |
| | Young's relentless saxophone solos of the early '60s (he once beat Eric Dolphy for a sax chair) roared with the energy of rock and the pristine tuning of Indian ragas. | | | In 1964 Young began what may always prove his greatest work: The Well-Tuned Piano, an improvisatory yet highly structured piano work that started at 45 minutes and has, in most recent performances, extended over six hours, containing more than 50 themes and chordal areas. | | | Inspired by Young's long tones, Terry Riley began experimenting with loops, which led to his groundbreaking work In C, the premiere performance of which included Steve Reich. |

| | Presentations of Young's work in the U.S. and Europe, as well as his theoretical writings, gradually influenced a group of composers to create a static, periodic music which became known as Minimalism. | | | He is Director of Young's Theatre of Eternal Music String Ensemble and in the last ten years has participated in more performances and premieres of Young's works than any other interpreter. | | | Frequently Curtis contributes program notes on Young's music, a selection of which are to appear in a special issue on Young of the periodical MusikTexte. |
