Dunn

Music was a big part of Dunn's life. He was great influenced by john Cage and applied his concepts into his compositions and accompaniment of classes. He mostly contributed in the post-modern time in New York. In the 50's and 60's some political and social events that were happening included; segregation becoming illegal, JFK's assassination, and the sending of troops to Vietnam. He believed that the sense of human relationships and social occasions  arise in the interface of art and life. He was also very aware of the music, poetry, and literature around him and he let that influence his work.
