This is a busy page for no discussion. I removed the following links because they appeared dead to me. If it is deemed not to be the case, please replace them. I also added a paragraph for The Well Tuned Piano because, well, it needs to be there. It is not great. Please improve. I will try to do research (with the possible aim of an unique article for said work) and improve myself, but it looks like it will take more than an evening's poking at the web.

www.newmusicbox.org, the E-zine of the American Music Center comes up on google searching but both sites appear to be down "Operation timed out" is what Firefox told me.
frontiernet.net/ appears to be an internet service provider that presumably used to host ~jngrimshaw.

The NewMusicBox and UbuWeb links seem to be working now. Joseph Dale 19:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I have added an attempt at a discography (compiled from several online sources) as well as the Spacemen 3 and Lou Reed items to "Influences." Cheers. Funks 00:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Tone

This is written more like a feature on his life, it needs to be rewritten in encyclopedia style style with citations. The author's description of Young's installations as 'alarmingly psychedelic' is an example. 202.82.171.186 06:34, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Ditto. Fo example, "The effect is rigorous yet sensual, utilizing aspects of the viewer/auditor's perception to create sensory overload within a barely defined physical space." Does this sentence actually mean something? SteubenGlass (talk) 22:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Latter Day Saint/Ex-Mormon?

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Young is listed in the "Latter Day Saints" category, but is also listed on the Former Latter-day Saints article... I'm not a fan of list articles in general (I much prefer categories), so I've added him to the "Ex-Mormon" category... But the question is, has Young left the the LDS church? In other words, in which categroy ("Latter Day Saints" or "Ex-Mormons") should Young be listed?

Young has never formally left the Church, and all of his family members remain active in the Church, He has indicated that he still considers himself a Mormon, albeit one who does not recognize that the Church is the only path, and possibly one who is critical that the Church has not pursued its most radical impulses. A close examination of his ideas about music, in particular the constant reference to ideas about heaven, eternity, and time (Mormon cosmology is unique in that it distinguishes between "all time" and "eternity") demonstrate that Mormon thought does play an important role in his work.

The Well-Tuned Piano

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Why is this still a stub? Will anyone flesh out this skeleton? I have only heard works from Michael Harrison, and Young is still a mystery in the public eye, if he existed at all. Please make some effort to educate people about the basic principles that these fine artists tried to introduce to the western world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.126.102.48 (talk) 00:50, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Hardly the "first minimalist"

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The opening statement to the effect that Young is "generally recognized as the first minimalist composer" is untrue. One source calls him that.

In fact, a lot of people were doing very similar things are around the same time, and some of them proceeded Young. The first use in print of the term "minimalism" to describe music, was in a 1968 review by Michael Nyman, to describe a composition by Hennig Christiansen. The roots of the idea -- and examples of its use -- go back to before Young was born. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 23:47, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
