Activity in the United States (1972-Present) In 1972, Tone went to Mills College in Oakland to perform at the event “Repetition and Structure: Works of Yasunao Tone 1961-1964.” What Tone had intended as a trip away from Tokyo, stopping in France, the Bay Area of California and New York, turned into a permanent residence when Tone decided to move to New York during that same trip. He was soon asked by David Behrman, director of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, to do some composing for the following year’s season. Tone created a piece for a two-day Cunningham event, Clockwork Video (1974), which used a pulley system to put in motion three turntables. The first turned at a rate of one revolution per second, the second one per minute, and the last turntable one per hour. He then placed a video camera on the turn table to capture the interior of the Cunningham Studio, which had a stage on one side and was mirrored on the other. By placing the turn tables by the mirrored side, the footage captures the real space about half of the time while capturing its reflection for the other half. The piece was accompanied by a text Tone wrote, compositing a Michel Foucault text on Gilles Deleuze and Tone’s own essay, “On Looking at Photography” (Shashin o miru koto ni tsuite). A later version of the piece captured a female nude body in three sections: head, torso, and legs. Projections of the respective sections rotated in intervals of one second, one minute and one hour, aligning at the completion of the hour. Tone titled the work Clockwork Video à la Magritte. Another work prominently featured by Cunningham’s dance company was Geography and Music, performed from 1979 to 1987. The work was commissioned by the American Dance Festival in Durham for Cunningham’s Roadrunners. The piece comprised a text, a notation for two
