James Tenney

Artist(s):
Maelstrom Percussion Ensemble

Background: Pika-Don protests about the atom bomb attacks on Japan in 1945. James Tenney considers this event 'the birth of my conciousness', and his piece layers a montage of spoken voices against menacing percussion writing. Tenney's objective view on his material nudges the work away from mere propaganda, and his concentration on the fabric of sound itself rather than theatrical spectacle leads to psychologically disconcerting results.
