La Monte Young and the wind

[stephen s]

I stumbled across this book, and this chapter, again and in digital form, so I thought I'd mention it here. Its a book generally about the works of La Monte Young and his wife. One chapter specifically speaks of aeolian harps, Chinese aesthetics, and the relation of both on his the works of LMY. Although its missing from the preview, as I remember it my favorite part was him recalling the wind whistling through his home in Idaho when he was young, and the relation of that experience/memory to his aesthetic. As its a Google book preview, you can only read about half of the chapter, here. hopefully, it will make you search for the physical copy...

cheers,
