Young, La Monte

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music | 1996 | Copyright

Young, La Monte (b Bern, Idaho, 1935). Amer. composer. Founded Theatre of Eternal Music, 1962. Method of composition may be deduced from his directions for perf. of certain of his works: Composition 1960 #2 is building a fire in front of the audience; #5 is releasing butterflies; Composition 1961 is ‘draw a straight line and follow it’. Has also ‘written’ The Tortoise, his dreams and journeys, a continuing perf. (since 1964) for vv., mixers, amplifiers, drones, and loudspeakers (but no tortoise).
