Flynt was a graduate student in Economics at the New School in the Seventies, studying with Thomas Vietorisz and Michael Hudson. He successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation on socialist economic allocation in April 1978, but in a characteristically eccentric gesture, never graduated.

Violinist Henry Flynt, who is also a highly-productive (and unpublished) philosopher launched an ambitious project to found a "new american ethnic music" that should fuse avantgarde music (particularly the hypnotic aspects of minimalism and free-jazz) and hillbilly/country music.

Flynt's fiendishly bowed fiddle, with its tricky double-stops and blast-off glissandos, is part of an uncompromising and unconventional life's work that has, until recently, remained hopelessly obscure--a rumor of a footnote.
Flynt devoted nearly 20 years to developing his music, a sui generis mix of New York-school minimalism, Indian classical music, and the sounds and forms of Appalachia, Dixie roadhouses, and other loamy American roots-music cellars.
But it is impossible to address Flynt's music meaningfully without putting it in the context of the elaborate philosophical and aesthetic inquiry to which he has given his entire adult life.

Though it remains Henrys single meeting with the instrument, over the course of some 13 odd minutes, he finds out everything he needs to know about the horn and gets into some pretty hairy free squelch and squeal territory in the process.

Flynt recorded and performed this music regularly up until his retirement, although most of the performances too place at small underground music venues, many of them in New York City.
Flynt is strongly inquisitive of many concepts of our society people take for granted, including popular notions of what constitutes art and entertainment.
He was particularly influenced by music or musicians that had some form of ecstatic involvement with their work, for example he regarded John Coltrane as completely unique in the history of jazz because of the intense energy he brought to work.

 Henry Flynt and the Insurrections - I Don't Wanna (Locust)
Much of the work with which Flynt has made his name is the product of his own strains of ethnic American music, that is, an amalgam of folk, country, and bluegrass played through a minimalist, sometimes psychedelic haze.
Flynt, however, takes a different route, one far from his usual musical paths: electric rock.
Whether or not I Don't Wanna would be finding the light of day were Flynt not involved is a question that can't be conclusively answered, though it seems safe to posit that only the most resourceful and determined collectors of obscure 60s rock might have found great appeal in these recordings.

 CD Review of Henry Flynt - Back Porch Hillbilly Blues - Volume 1 on Locust @ jazzreview.com
Henry Flynt is a riddle inside a puzzle inside an enigma — we may never figure him out but it’s nonetheless fun to try.
A violinist and composer, Flynt is a shadowy figure in the avant garde world — he’s been associated with other towering tres avant icons including Yoko Ono and proto-minimalist La Monte Young, as well as briefly playing in The Velvet Underground — his music has been more heard-about than actually heard.
Flynt’s music is not easy to categorize, mainly because he purposely tries to blur and shatter the divisions betwixt “high” and “low” art forms, between country/rural blues and “hillbilly” (bluegrass, Appalachian mountain music) and minimalism and ecstatic free jazz.

 * Dusted Reviews - Henry Flynt and the Insurrections *
Henry Flynt: present in the 1960s, absent in the 1970s, one lone-show cassette release in the 1980s, absent again through the 1990s, omni-present in the old new millennium.
On “Missionary Stew,” Flynt plays the guitar like he can’t quite figure out where to place the notes, how to string them together; it infuses the music with free spirit, something deMaria responds to with rolling drums, accenting different moments, lending Flynt’s nasal, declamatory whine of a vocal the central role.
Yes, you can hear American folk/hillbilly/blues music of the early 20th century feeding through Flynt’s song-writing; yes, it also sounds rather like any number of rock bands who’ve leaned on the twin crutches of loose-limb playing and classicist chord progressions.

Following two excellent explorations of Flynt's obsession with the demented drone behind mountain music on his Back Porch Hillbilly Blues series, the Locust label digs up dead weathermen from the basement tapes for their fifth release by the man, documenting a (lone?) rehearsal from 1966.

At the same concert, Henry Flynt, a mathematics student who had left Harvard University to work on a book linking avant-garde aesthetics and mathematics, refused to include a piece on the program.
He therefore did not present a work and decided to schedule a concert of his own pieces that was to be performed in his own mind.[34] Flynt referred to his own as well as Young's compositions as "concept art" and is perhaps the first person to use this term.
Both Young's and Flynt's "word pieces" began to move away from the art equals life paradigm because they entailed a level of philosophical abstraction that did not refer to the real material world.

Flynt was initially (1962) a composer of the post-Cage school who quickly turned completely against modernist music and created his own Flynt genres, primarily through radicalizing Southern musical forms like Bluegrass, Country, and Country Blues-elevating them to an enchanted level, much as Coltrane did with the jazz of his time.

Henry Flynt's "Spindizzy" is the second volume in his series of "New American Ethnic Music," following the incredible document "You Are My Everlovin' / Celestial Power", an earlier assortment of country-fried, Fluxus inspired minimalism.
Flynt had been an associate of both legendary '60s minimalist LaMonte Young and Fluxus figurehead George Macunias, finding his unique personal signature smack in between these two pillars of the '60s Fluxus scene as a conceptually / technically astute form of minimalism using the everyman aesthetic of Appalachian folk.
