La Monte Young From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search La Monte Thornton Young (born October 14 ) is an American composer and musician. Young is generally recognized as the first minimalist composer (Strickland 2001), and one of the four most celebrated leaders of the minimalist school, along with Terry Riley Steve Reich and Philip Glass , despite having little in common formally with Glass or Reich. Young is also probably the least heard and least well-known of the major minimalist composers. His works have been included among the most important and radical post- World War II avant-garde experimental , or drone music . Both his proto- Fluxus and " minimal " compositions question the nature and definition of music and often stress elements of performance.

La Monte Young La Monte Young is one of the most influential underground composers of the 20th century. His early experiments with long tones in 1957-58, fusing as they did interests in both twelve-tone music and Cagean conceptualism, led directly to the style known today as minimalism. 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. 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. His rule-based improvisations under the auspices of the Theatre of Eternal Music, though not heard publicly in decades, remain an icon of the psychedelic age, and were a direct influence on the Velvet Underground and artrock. 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. Young is also legendary for his sine-tone installations, assemblages of droning overtones in complex arrays of prime numbers that now explore pitch space up to the 2304th harmonic. Kyle Gann's scholarly writings on La Monte Young include two articles: "La Monte Young's The Well-Tuned Piano in Perspectives of New Music , Volume 31 Number 1 (Winter 1993).

12. La Monte Young Biography and analysis of his work from Other Minds. http://www.otherminds.org/shtml/Young.shtml

La Monte Young (born Bern, Idaho, 1935) has pioneered the concept of extended time durations in contemporary music for over 35 years. 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. 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. After graduate composition studies at the University of California at Berkeley, he moved to New York City, where he directed the first loft concert series in that city. He has lived in New York ever since. With the founding in 1962 of The Theatre of Eternal Music, Mr. Young began work on his ongoing ensemble work The Tortoise, His Dreams and Journeys (1964-present). Over the years, members of The Theatre of Eternal Music have included Terry Riley, John Cale, Jon Gibson, Jon Hassell, and Marian Zazeela . His other major ongoing work has been his The Well-Tuned Piano Since the early 1960s, La Monte Young has collaborated with visual artist

back to issue 1 excerpts halana home page ordering info ...we determined at a certain point that our medium was time. an interview by Ian Nagoski. [Excerpted] IN: One of the things which has always struck me as very exceptional about your work is its emphasis on Heavenliness. You once made a remark in an interview in the Theatre of Mixed Means book, something about people being swept away to Heaven, having the feeling... LY: I said that if people didn't feel swept away to Heaven, I was failing. And I really feel that is an absolutely essential element. This concept of Heaven can be probably thought of in a fairly broad way. In essence, something Pandit Pran Nath used to point out when he was teaching us about intonation, he would say that when you become perfectly in tune in your singing, this is meeting to God. He said, at that moment that you become perfectly in tune, you leave your body, because your focus becomes so intense — the concentration that it takes to be exactly in tune is so enormous that you don't think any more about your body. ...what I am interested in in music is becoming a receptor for a higher state of information that can flow through me and then become manifest physically as music... IN: Your sense of beauty seems very much tied up in your sense of time. I'd like to hear from you about how you've found your sense of time to be different from the rest of the world.

In 1940 his family moved to LA, where he tapdanced and performed "cowboy songs" to earn money. Later, in high school and college (UCLA and UC Berkeley), he joined several jazz groups playing alto sax (and apparently had a fan in Ornette Coleman ). However, by 1957 he had abandoned jazz in favor of his compositional studies.

And in theory, with nuTsie, you can play your music on your phone (although it doesn't work on mine for some reason). I haven't actually tried this with lala but I think it uploads compressed versions of your music files found on your hard disk, if it doesn't already have them. nuTsie on the other hand just reads your iTunes XML library file and matches what it can with music it already knows about, which presumably excludes much of what I actually listen to. But I'm still fascinated by the concept, as I was back in the day with mp3.com (?) where you registered what music you could stream by physically placing your CD in your computer first. I have to say it's becoming harder these days to be a consumer without legal counsel. I skimmed through the nuTsie click-through agreement but I have no idea if it is really legal to play my music in this manner.

Z Search Contemporary Musicians: Young, LaMonte Printable Version Download PDF Cite this Page Composer, saxophonist, pianist Called "the grandfather of minimal music" by Brooke Wentz in Down Beat, La Monte Young has been a key figure in the musical avant-garde since the early 1960s. He evolved from a jazz and blues saxophonist in the 1950s to a minimalist pianist, composer, and performance artist who is still active in the 1990s. Musicians influenced by his theories include Terry Riley, a former classmate of his, and modern composers Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Young is known for keyboard pieces stripped down to bare essentials, with extended meditations on just one chord and frequent shifts from consonance to dissonance. A prime example is his "Dorian Blues in G," in which each chord of a six-chord progression is played for a solid 20 minutes. Some of Young's pieces last for hours, and his compositions have been known to evolve over many years. The blues has been a major influence on his work. "Young's blues are unlike any you've heard before, and at the same time they're as pure a musical illumination of the form as you're ever likely to hear," wrote Glenn Kenny in
