Bio: Angus MacLise, born, March 4,1938 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, was a percussionist composer, poet, and calligrapher. A member of La Monte Young's Theater of Eternal Music, along with John Cale, Tony Conrad, Marian Zazeela and sometimes Terry Riley.
He contributed to the early Fluxus newspaper V Tre, edited by George Brecht and George Maciunas, and was also an early member of The Velvet Underground, having been brought into the group by flatmate John Cale when they were living at 56 Ludlow Street. MacLise mostly played bongos and hand drums during 1965 with the first incarnation of VU.
Later in the 1960s, Angus and his wife Hetty traveled around between Vancouver, Paris, Greece and India, finally settling in Nepal. They also had a son, Ossian Kennard MacLise, who was recognized by Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, the 16th Karmapa, as a reincarnation of a Tibetan saint, or tulku, and at age four became a Buddhist monk.
MacLise died of hypoglycemia and pulmonary tuberculosis in Kathmandu in 1979, aged 41.
He recorded a vast amount of music that went largely unreleased until 1999 (see The Invasion Of Thunderbolt Pagoda [Quakebasket/Siltbreeze]).
The recordings, produced between the mid-'60s and the late-'70s, consist of tribal trance workouts, spoken word, poetry, drones and electronics, as well as many collaborations with his wife Hetty.
In 2008, Hetty MacLise bequeathed a collection of her husband's tapes to the Yale Collection of American Literature.
