La Monte Young, generally regarded as the father of musical minimalism, is one of America’s most important contemporary composers–and one of the most elusive. Early on Young eschewed the conventional musical institutions of publishers, record labels, and venues, in order to create compositions completely unfettered by commercial concerns. At the same time, however, he exercised profound influence on such varied figures as Terry Riley, Cornelius Cardew, Andy Warhol, Yoko Ono, Velvet Underground, Brian Eno and entire branches of pop music. For half a century he and his partner and collaborator, Marian Zazeela, have worked in near-seclusion in their Tribeca loft, creating works that explore the furthest extremes of conceptual audacity, technical sophistication, acoustical complexity, and overt spirituality.
Learn to create a custom map that provides clean and accurate directions and points out the landmarks you want to highlight. In this course, William Everhart shows how to build a road map in Adobe Illustrator, which you can then print or embed on a website. Discover how to obtain a source image; trace the map; draw and style different roads, landmarks, and basic geographic features; and label your map with type and symbols. Finally, learn to add turn-by-turn directions and prepare your map for print or sharing online.
