Yasunao Tone, a composer and artist who bridged the gap between music and visual arts, has died at age 90. Here's @ArtNews's tribute to the cerebral, experimental and highly influential sound maker, who described his work as like "a parasite without a host," and of whom Yoko Ono once said: “I think people will be surprised to know that the usual notion of Asian music will be totally destroyed when they listen to his music or read his scores. He is not Asian. He is Martian.”

Auf welche Weise nun aber #frieden kommen soll, sagt sie nicht, oder sagt der Beitrag nix zu. Naja, mit 92 muss man wahrscheinlich seine alten Hits auch nicht mehr neu interpretieren, nicht auf den aktuellen Kontext beziehen. Es gibt jüngere Zeitgenössen die das auch nicht mehr schaffen.

DeutschlandfunkAusstellung in Berlin zeigt Yoko Ono als FriedensaktivistinGleich zwei Yoko-Ono-Ausstellungen laufen derzeit in Berlin. Die Neue Nationalgalerie zeigt vor allem Werke, die im Zeichen der Friedensbewegung entstanden.

Happy Birthday for yesterday!

Had 60secs to take this portrait of Ono-san, in 2009. Was there to photograph her as part of a story I was doing with the BBC. Their interview overran. The stills guy always just has to deal with whatever time he's given.

She was a sweetie. We had a lovely chat.

"Revolution 9" is a #soundCollage from #theBeatles' 1968 self-titled double album (also known as the "White Album"). The composition, credited to #LennonMcCartney, was created primarily by #JohnLennon with assistance from #YokoOno and #GeorgeHarrison. Lennon said he was trying to paint a picture of a revolution using sound. The composition was influenced by the #avantgarde style of Ono as well as the #musiqueConcrète works of composers such as #EdgardVarèse.
