Tony Conrad Biography
Tony Conrad is an experimental filmmaker, musician, composer, and academic who introduced the concept of Just Intonation--a tuning system based on nature rather than arbitrary divisions of sound--to contemporary composition. Conrad is perhaps best known for his work with Lamont Young and the Theater of Eternal Music, a New York City ensemble formed in the 1960s that performed seemingly endless single-note drones known as Dream Music. Among his colleagues at the TEM was future Velvet Underground member John Cale. It is through the VU that Conrad made his largest impact on pop music, as both Lou Reed and Cale incorporated many of Conrad's and the Theater's theories into the band's sound. Conrad also collaborated with Krautrock mainstays Faust in the '70s, and continued to teach and perform well into the 21st century.
