{"product_id":"james-tenney","title":"James Tenney","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy zkr director Reinhold Friedl's personal request now available on vinyl for the first time: zeitkratzer's critically acclaimed interpretations of groundbreaking compositions by Jame Tenney (1934 - 2006), who was a composer, music theorist and pioneer especially in the field of microtonal music, being an influential part of the so-called New York avantgarde scene. Besides his compositional work, Tenny was teacher at various universities with students like Charlemagne Palestine, Carl Stone or Catherine Lamb, and a close friend with Eliane Radigue. This album by zeitkratzer presents three compositions by Tenney whose music has been part of zeitkratzer's repertoire since their beginning: # \"Critical Band\" – Tenney's late classic – with maximum clarity and precision of bearing tone rhythms and microtonal tuning as light effect. # the first recording of \"Harmonium #2\". Both works demonstrate the remarkable power and resplendent sharpness which Tenney achieved with his microtonal settings. # \"Koan: Having Never Written A Note For Percussion\" (incl. in the download) is an orgiastic listening experience in the form of a huge crescendo on a tam-tam - from whispering to singing, culminating in shrill roaring and blustering – and it's dark decay.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karlrecords","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50452235157835,"sku":"2001275","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/James_Tenney_old_school_5141658a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727144857","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/james-tenney","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
