Man´yo Wounded 2001
The Golden Nica winning composition "Man'yo Wounded 2001" features an outstanding example of Tone s groundbreaking use of manipulated CDs that he has been working with since the early eighties.
Yasunao Tone, who co-founded the group Ongaku in 1960, devoted to creating events and improvisational music, began participating in the Fluxus movement in 1962. His first concert, "One Man Show by a Composer", was held at the Minami Gallery in Tokyo in 1962. In the years that followed, Tone became an organizer as well as contributor to various avant-garde groups. His activities encompassed happenings, sound installation, experimental music, performance and art and technology. Since coming to the United States in 1972, Tone has composed for scores, which utilize texts and visual image, as well as sound for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, and for performing solo concerts at the Kitchen, Experimental Intermedia Foundation, Roulette, P.S.1, Guggenheim Museum SOHO, and the Chicago Art Club.
