Yasunao Tone (b. 1935, Tokyo) was one of the first Japanese artists active in composing “events” and improvisational music. He is one of the founding members of Japan’s Fluxus movement and has also been an organizer and participant in many important music and performance groups such as Group Ongaku. The MP3 Deviation albums contains pieces that are results of the collaborative research by a team of the New Aesthetics in Computer Music (NACM) and Tone with new developed software to hack MP3 files to generate new sounds, led by Tony Myatt at Music Research Center at the University of York in UK in 2009.
