Julius Eastman - We Have Delivered Ourselves From The Tonal - Of, Towards, On, For Julius Eastman

This publication presents a collection of essays, librettos, lyrics, memories, photos, personal anecdotes by musicians, visual artists, researchers and archivers that pays homage to the work and life of African-American composer, musician, performer, activist Julius Eastman, who was among the first composers to combine minimalist processes with elements of pop music. The book investigates his legacy beyond the predominantly Western musicological format of the tonal or harmonic and the framework of what is today understood as minimalist music.
