First sentence: La Monte Young's career divides geographically into three parts: his childhood and undergraduate years mainly in Los Angeles; his time as a graduate student at Berkeley, in the San Francisco Bay Area; and the period that saw his establishment as both composer and performer, as well as concert organiser, teacher and much else, following his move to New York City.
