A legendary figure of the New York art and music worlds, Tony Conrad (born 1940) has traversed experimental film, drone music, minimalist video and writing over the course of his career. In each, he has met with equal success: in music, he was a member of The Dream Syndicate, he played alongside Lou Reed in The Primitives and, more recently, he has composed string music using just intonation; in film, he redefined the boundaries of structural filmmaking through works such as The Flicker and Yellow Movies. Recently, Conrad has turned to researching and writing about topics as varied as traditional Western music and mathematical principles, both ancient and modern. Tony Conrad: Writings is the first book to collect this wide range of texts, some of which have never before been published, which illuminate the influences upon his work and address his theories about art and music.

Industry Reviews

The book offers a tantalizing window into the thinking behind Conrad's most famous works...[he] was uncompromising in his beliefs until the end, sticking to his ideals with tenacious fervor. His music--which often involved vast extended drones and noisy explorations of minimalism--defied mainstream popularity.--Geeta Dayal "4 Columns "
