The Theatre of Eternal Music, sometimes later known as The Dream Syndicate,〔BAD LINK (Pitchforkmedia.com ) Inside the Dream Syndicate, Volume I: Day of Niagara (1965)〕 was a mid-1960s musical group formed by La Monte Young,〔(Newmusicbox.org ) La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela at the Dream House: The Theatre of Eternal Music (2003)〕 that focused on experimental drone music. It featured the performances of La Monte Young, John Cale, Angus MacLise, Terry Jennings, Marian Zazeela, Tony Conrad, Billy Name, Jon Hassell, Alex Dea and others. The group is stylistically tied to the Neo-Dada aesthetics of Fluxus and the post-John Cage noise music continuum. ==Career== The Theatre of Eternal Music gave performances on the East Coast of the United States as well as in Western Europe that consisted of long periods of sensory inundation with combinations of harmonic relationships, which moved slowly from one to the next by means of "laws" laid out by La Monte Young regarding "allowable" sequences and simultaneities. In 1964 the ensemble contained Young and Marian Zazeela, voices; Tony Conrad and John Cale, strings; and sometimes Terry Riley, voice. The Theater of Eternal Music's discordant sustained notes and loud amplification influenced John Cale's subsequent contribution to the Velvet Underground in his use of both discordance and feedback.〔Steven Watson, ''Factory Made: Warhol and the Sixties'' (2003) Pantheon, New York, p. 157〕 John Cale and Tony Conrad have released noise music recordings they made during the mid-sixties, such as Cale's ''Inside the Dream Syndicate'' series (''The Dream Syndicate'' being the alternative name given by Cale and Conrad to their collective work with La Monte Young).〔Steven Watson, ''Factory Made: Warhol and the Sixties'' (2003) Pantheon, New York, p. 103〕 Most of the pieces performed by the Theatre of Eternal Music have long titles, such as ''The Tortoise Recalling the Drone of the Holy Numbers as they were Revealed in the Dreams of the Whirlwind and the Obsidian Gong, Illuminated by the Sawmill, the Green Sawtooth Ocelot and the High-Tension Line Stepdown Transformer''. Likewise, the works are often of extreme length, many pieces having no beginning and no end, existing before and after a particular performance. The Theatre of Eternal Music ensemble’s masterwork, begun in 1964, is titled ''The Tortoise His Dreams and Journeys'' and is divided into several sections, of which ''Map of 49’s Dream: The Two Systems of Eleven Sets of Galactic Intervals Ornamental Light-Years Tracery'', is the only one of which a fragment can be found on disc (forty minutes, with Jon Hassell on trumpet, Garrett List on trombone, Zazeela on voice and Young on electronics).〔LaBelle, Brandon. ''Background Noise: Perspectives on Sound Art'' (2006) New York and London: Continuum International Publishing, p. 71〕 The longest "Dream House" performance was that given at the Harrison Street gallery in New York, which lasted uninterruptedly for six years, from 1979 to 1985.
