==Biography==

===Early life===
Conrad was born in [[Concord, New Hampshire]], to Mary Elizabeth Parfitt and Arthur Emil Conrad, and raised in [[Baldwin, Maryland]] and [[Northern Virginia]].<ref name="nyt"/> His father worked with [[Everett Warner]] during World War II in designing [[dazzle camouflage]] for the [[United States Navy]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bobolinkbooks.com/Camoupedia/EverettWarner.html |title=Everett Warner (1877–1963) – Ship Camouflage Artist |first=Roy R. |last=Behrens |work=Dazzle Camouflage |access-date=September 9, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080516091859/http://www.bobolinkbooks.com/Camoupedia/EverettWarner.html |archive-date=May 16, 2008 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Conrad's high school violin lessons with symphony violist Ronald Knudsen introduced him to [[just intonation]] and [[double stop]] playing.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Conrad |first1=Tony |title=Four Violins (1964) |url=http://www.vasulka.org/archive/Artists1/Conrad,Tony/fourviolins.pdf |website=Table of the Elements |access-date=8 November 2020}}</ref> After briefly studying violin at [[Baltimore]]'s [[Peabody Institute|Peabody Conservatory]], Conrad graduated from [[Harvard University]] in 1962 with a degree in mathematics.<ref name="nyt"/><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Pioneering artist Tony Conrad dies |url=https://www.buffalo.edu/ubnow/stories/2016/04/conrad-obituary.html |access-date=2023-03-24 |website=www.buffalo.edu |language=en}}</ref> While studying at Harvard, Conrad was exposed to the ideas of experimental composers [[John Cage]] and [[Karlheinz Stockhausen]]. After working as a computer programmer, Conrad became involved in [[New York City]]'s avant-garde arts scene.<ref name="nyt" />

===1960s===

After moving to New York, Conrad became an early member of [[La Monte Young]]'s [[Theatre of Eternal Music]] alongside [[John Cale]], [[Angus MacLise]], [[Marian Zazeela]], and later [[Terry Riley]].<ref>Patrick Nickleson, ''The Names of Minimalism: Authorship, Art Music, and Historiography in Dispute'', University of Michigan Press, pp. 56-58</ref> The Theatre of Eternal Music utilized [[just intonation]] and [[Drone (sound)|drones]] to produce what the group called "dream music"; Conrad's mathematical knowledge contributed to the Theatre's systematization of just intervals, and he also encouraged the ensemble to adopt electronic amplification.<ref name="nyt"/><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bridges |first=Brian |title=Product of Culture-Clash: the Theatre of Eternal Music and the early New York Downtown Scene |url=https://www.academia.edu/10744989}}</ref> Conrad would later leave the Theatre in a dispute over Young's attempt to assert more deliberate compositional influence over their performances and refusal to grant him or Cale shared credit for the ensemble's music or access to its recordings, and in 1990 protested a concert by his former bandleader with a manifesto titled "Composer La Monte Young Does Not Understand 'His' Work" outlining his grievances and accusing Young of "[[orientalism]] and [a] romanticized [[Cult of personality|personality cult]] mark[ing] him among the most regressive of contemporary artists."<ref name="nyt2">{{cite news |last1=Robin |first1=William |title=Tony Conrad Was Such a Good Minimalist, He Was Almost Forgotten |work=The New York Times |date=March 24, 2017 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/24/arts/music/tony-conrad-was-such-a-good-minimalist-he-was-almost-forgotten.html |access-date=7 October 2020 }}</ref>

In 1963, he joined his former Harvard classmate and [[Fluxus]] associate [[Henry Flynt]] in his [[anti-art]] demonstrations against "elitist" New York cultural institutions.<ref>Interview with Henry Flynt in The Village Voice, September 10th, 1964, by Susan Goodman, "Anti-Art Pickets Pick on Stockhausen" .</ref>

In 1964, Conrad and Cale were recruited by [[Pickwick Records]] to serve as a backing band, The Primitives, to perform the [[Lou Reed]]-penned single "The Ostrich"/"Sneaky Pete". Conrad and Cale played guitar and bass, [[Walter De Maria|Walter de Maria]] played percussion, and Reed sang. Conrad and Cale's instruments were tuned to Reed's "[[Ostrich guitar|Ostrich tuning]]", with every string the same [[pitch class]]. After the Primitives disbanded, Cale and Reed formed [[The Velvet Underground]].<ref>

=== 1970s ===
Conrad's first musical release under his own name was a collaboration with [[Faust (band)|Faust]], ''[[Outside the Dream Syndicate]]'', released by [[Caroline Records|Caroline]] in 1973. This remains his best known musical work and is considered a classic of [[minimalist music]] and [[drone music]].<ref name="nyt"/><ref>{{cite web|last1=Sirota|first1=Brent|title=Tony Conrad / Faust Outside the Dream Syndicate|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/1582-outside-the-dream-syndicate/|publisher=[[Pitchfork Media|Pitchfork]]|access-date=11 April 2016}}</ref>

One of Conrad's early films was ''Coming Attractions'', made with his then-partner [[Beverly Grant (actress)|Beverly Grant]], which was released in 1970. This film led indirectly to the founding of Syntonic Research and the [[Environments (series)|Environments]] series of natural sound recordings.<ref name="nyt"/> Grant and Conrad further worked on two films: ''Straight and Narrow'' (1970) and ''Four Square'' (1971).

''Yellow Movies'' was a project of Conrad's in 1973 of twenty "movies" consisting of rectangular borders painted in black house paint on large pieces of photographic paper, effectively framing each sizable expanse of emulsion whereby the physical aging and transformation of the emulsion itself would constitute a definitively slow-motion moving picture over such an extended period of time.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tony Conrad's "Yellow Movie"|url=http://blogs.artinfo.com/lacmonfire/2010/03/21/tony-conrad%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Cyellow-movie%E2%80%9D/|publisher=[[Louise Blouin Media]]|access-date=11 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160528223030/http://blogs.artinfo.com/lacmonfire/2010/03/21/tony-conrad%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Cyellow-movie%E2%80%9D/|archive-date=May 28, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Conrad began to work in video and performance in the 1970s as a professor at [[Antioch College]], where he replaced the filmmaker [[Paul Sharits]]. In 1976, Conrad joined the faculty at the Center for [[Media studies|Media Studies]] at the [[University at Buffalo]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.burchfieldpenney.org/artists/artist:anthony-s-conrad/ |title=Tony Conrad > Artists > Burchfield Penney Art Center |website=Burchfieldpenney.org |access-date=April 10, 2016}}</ref> While in Buffalo, Conrad was part of a scene that included Sharits, as well as [[Hollis Frampton]], [[Steina and Woody Vasulka]], [[Peter Weibel]], James Blue, Cathy Steffan and Gerald O'Grady. Their practices in film, video, performance, and other forms were documented in the 2008 book ''Buffalo Heads: Media Study, Media Practice, Media Pioneers, 1973–1990'', edited by Vasulka and Weibel.<ref name="Buffalo Heads">{{cite book|editor-last1=Vasulka and Weibel|editor-first1=Woody and Peter|title=Buffalo Heads: Media Study, Media Practice, Media Pioneers, 1973–1990|date=2008|publisher=MIT Press|isbn=9780262720502}}</ref>

In the mid-1970s, Conrad began performing film. With ''Sukiyaki Film'' he decided that the film should be prepared immediately before viewing. [[Sukiyaki]] was chosen as the paradigm for the work because it is a dish often cooked immediately before eating, in front of the diners. Conrad cooked sukiyaki in front of an audience: egg, meat, vegetables, and [[16mm film]]; and literally "projected" onto the screen behind him.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Sanders|first1=Jay|title=Tony Conrad by Jay Sanders|url=http://bombmagazine.org/article/2752/tony-conrad|publisher=[[Bomb Magazine]]|access-date=11 April 2016|archive-date=March 31, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160331065738/http://bombmagazine.org/article/2752/tony-conrad|url-status=dead}}</ref>
