	VH1.com : La Monte Young : Biography
		Young was born in Bern, Idaho in 1935, beginning his studies of the alto saxophone at age seven.
		At the same time, Young became obsessed with notions of tuning, specifically that of "Just Intonation," a system in which all of the intervals can be represented by ratios of whole numbers, with a clear preference for the smallest numbers compatible with a given musical purpose.
		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.

		In his early compositions, La Monte Young accepted, like most of the minimalists who followed him, the serial techniques taught at the time, and was strongly drawn to the music of Webern with its static qualities and sparse textures noticing that his music uses the same information repeated over and over again.
		By 1960, Young moved to New York and quickly became involved in the avant-garde style or "happenings" of the time that was later termed the Fluxus movement.
		Young liked to describe his enchantment with long, sustained sounds going back to his youth when he would listen to the wind blowing through the cabin in which he grew up or the hum of an outside power line.

	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.
		La Monte Young regards music as an external being with an independent existence, and thus is critical of a Western culture he sees making music conform to human existence in such a way as to be unnatural and counter to the essence of music.
		Young has also formed the Forever Bad Blues Band, a quartet (guitar, bass, drums and synthesizer) that plays hypnotic, dilated pseudo-blues lines on the live double-disc Just Stompin' (Gramavision, 1993); the ultimate implementation of the idea first espoused in Dorian's Blues In G.

		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.
		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.

	Stimmung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stimmung, for six vocalists and six microphones, is a piece by Karlheinz Stockhausen written in 1968 and commissioned by the City of Cologne for the Collegium Vocale.
		Influenced by LaMonte Young and long periods of practicing humming, the piece is in just intonation, its title meaning tuning or in tune in German (Die Stimme = voice).
		Six singers amplified by six microphones tune to a low Bb drone inaudible for the audience and expand upwards through overtone singing, with harmonics 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 also being used as fundamentals for overtone singing.

		He contributed extensively to the study of just intonation and to the development of rational number based tuning systems that are used in his periodic composite sound waveform environments, as well as in many of his major performance works.
		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.
		The 1974 Rome live world premiere of Young's magnum opus The Well-Tuned Piano (1964-73-81-present), was celebrated by a commission for him to sign the Bösendorfer piano, which remains permanently in the special tuning.

		The central debate boils down to composition credit--Young wants all involved artists to sign a statement acknowledging him as the sole composer of the music, while Conrad and Cale refuse, believing the music to be a group composition.
		Most importantly, Young is barely audible, his Tanna Tuvanesque throat singing floats in and out of range.
		Young's dictatorial attitude and his fierce guarding of this music for all of these years is part of a plan to increase the hype and boost his status as a major figure in 20th century music.

		Born in Baltimore in 1940, Conrad studied music at Harvard, where he was first exposed to the work of John Cage and David Tudor; among his fellow students were David Behrman, Christian Wolff and Frederic Rzewski, all of whom later pursued careers in experimental music as well.
		Conrad approached Young about performing with the group, and by 1963 a new line-up also consisting of Zazeela and the young Welsh musician John Cale began playing about town in an ensemble variously dubbed The Dream Syndicate and The Theater of Eternal Music.
		The Dream Syndicate disbanded in 1965, with Conrad, Young and Cale all later staking claim to authoring of the "Eternal Music" aesthetic; Young also held on to the group's live tapes.

		Oops, I thought I was LaMonte Young there for a moment.
		In "Please Kill Me" there're a couple of people remembering that LaMonte used to sell hash, acid, opium etc. from his apartment where he also kept up his long droning music sessions inviting those who came round to score to play drones along with him.
		I must say reading this kind of burst the music bubble for me with Young's work...clearly his minimalism is just the result of being too stoned to remember to play the other notes in the piece.

		Young's complaint revolves around the poor sound quality of this recording of his lengendary (yet largely unheard) ensemble which also featured the Velvet Underground's John Cale, violinist Tony Conrad, VU-founding percussionist (and mystic cult figure) Angus MacLise, and vocalist Marian Zazeela.
		LaMonte Young and his wife Marian Zazeela are credited with vocals, but can't really be heard doing anything at all.
		Really what Young wants is sole composers credit, which seems a bit ridiculous to us (and to Tony Conrad et.al.)...so, we're stuck with this less-than-sonically-perfect document, for at least as long as Youngs lawyers let us...too bad these old dronesters couldn't have worked things out so that Young's supposedly crystal-clear tapes could have been used.
