After leaving the Velvet Underground for good, Angus traveled around between
North Africa,
India,
Greece, the
Middle East and finally finding his place in
Nepal. A student of both
La Monte Young and
Aleister Crowley (he was working a script for a film version of Crowley's
Diary Of A Drug Fiend before he died), he would begin to blend Tibetan
mysticism with his music to create
magickal forms of transcendent sound through various
drone techniques. He died of
tuberculosis in
Kathmandu in 1979
