Yasunao Tone (Tokyo, 1935) is a Japanese interdisciplinary artist. He
graduated from Chiba Japanese National University in 1957, majoring in
Japanese literature. He became active in the Fluxus movement in the 1960s
and moved to the United States in 1972. He organised and participated in
many experimental music and performance groups such as Group Ongaku, Hi-Red
Center and Team Random (the first computer art group in Japan). His
unconventional musical work brings together certain forms of traditional
Eastern culture and post-structuralist theories, and since the mid to late
nineties has become a notable influence on new generations of sound artists
worldwide. He lives and works in New York.
