Z La Monte Young Biography La Monte Young (born October 14, 1935) is an American composer whose eccentric but influential (if hard to find) works have been classified by some as avant garde or experimental. Both his Fluxus influenced and "minimal" compositions question the nature of music and often stress elements of performance not normally indicated. He is normally listed as one of the "big four" minimalists along with Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Terry Riley, despite having little in common with Glass and Reich. He was born in Bern, Idaho. His family moved several times in his childhood while his father searched for work before settling in Los Angeles, California. He studied at Los Angeles City College, and was such a good saxophonist that he came out ahead of Eric Dolphy in an audition for the school's jazz band. As well as Dolphy, he also played alongside Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry and Billy Higgins. He later entered the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to study music, and later still the University of California, Berkeley. He also studied electronic music with Richard Maxfield and attended the summer courses at Darmstadt under Karlheinz Stockhausen. Over this period he virtually gave up playing the saxophone to concentrate on composition, being influenced by Anton Webern, Gregorian chant and various music of other cultures, including Indian classical music and Indonesian gamelan music. These interests, and a wish to be able to find the intervals he used by ear, later led to him studying with Pandit Pran Nath from 1970 (fellow students included his wife Marian Zazeela and the composer Terry Riley).

La Monte Young /into the cloud legally?/ Both Lala.com and nuTsie have just provided mechanisms to put your music into the Internet cloud allowing you to play your music from any browser. 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. And what if I want to share my playlist to the world, including access to those rare La Monte Young

La Monte Young Alex Ross has a brief review of the Eternal Music String Ensemble 70th birthday concert performance of Young's Trio for Strings ("an awesomely strange landscape of slowly shifting tone"). He also comments: The experience wavered between the unbearable and the transcendent, coming to rest on the latter. The same comment may also apply to the music of Philip Glass, although more often coming to rest on the former... Young in a Music Mavericks interview It's interesting that even at the age of 2 or 3, I began to get an intuition about the way to create music. I didn't really start to do it until 1958, when I wrote the Trio for Strings, which is the first work in the history of music that is completely composed of long sustained tones and silences. This reminds me of one of those Rob Kapilow lectures on why Mozart is so great: Things are never as simple as they seem.... The next phrase of music continues elegantly...followed by an astonishing measure of complete silence.

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).

Home Composers Labels La Monte Young La Monte Thornton Young (born October 14, 1935) is an American composer and musician. Young is commonly seen as the first minimalist composer 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. Life A number of Young's early works use the twelve tone technique, which he studied under Leonard Stein at UCLA. (Stein had served as an assistant to Arnold Schoenberg when Schoenberg, the inventor of the twelve-tone method, had taught at UCLA.) When Young visited Darmstadt he encountered the music and writings of John Cage. There he also met Cage's collaborator, pianist David Tudor, who subsequently gave premiers of some of Young's works. At Tudor's suggestion, Young engaged in a correspondence with Cage. Within a few months Young was presenting some of Cage's music on the West Coast; in turn Cage and Tudor included some of Young's works in performances throughout the U.S. and Europe. By this time Young had taken a turn toward the conceptual, using principles of indeterminacy in his compositions and incorporating non-traditional sounds, noises, and actions.
