<br>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.
