James Tenney: Postal Pieces (Blume)
We’ve been eagerly anticipating the first appearance of five works from James Tenney, gathered here as Postal Pieces.
Most know Tenney through the Charles Ives Folkways LP, his association with Merce Cunningham and the Judson Dance Theater. Please also see his Collage No.1 (Blue Suede) proto-plunder-samples of Elvis, to say nothing of his work with Malcolm Goldstein and Philip Corner. Tenney also collaborated, artistically and in the biblical sense, with Carolee Schneemann!! Pendulum music!
This LP includes “Maximusic” for Max Neuhaus (1965), “Having Never Written a Note for Percussion” for John Bergamo (1971), “For Percussion Perhaps, or... [Night]” for Harold Budd” (1971), “Cellogram,” for Joel Krosnick (1971), and “Beast” for Buell Neidlinger (1971), all on vinyl for the first time.
The recordings were made in 2003 by the Amsterdam based ensemble, the Barton Workshop, under the direction of James Fulkerson.
