Joe Jones (Fluxus musician)

Joe Jones (1934–1993) was an American avant-garde musician associated with Fluxus, especially known for his creation of rhythmic minimal music machines.

In 1960 Jones began to study avant-garde experimental composition first briefly with John Cage, and then Earle Brown.

He created many automaton drum machine exhibitions and art actions in New York City and Nice, France during this period.

Jones made automated instruments for Ono's recordings "Don't Count The Waves", "You", and "Airmale" that appear on Fly and the Onobox.
