Abstract "The eminent American-Canadian composer James Tenney (1934-2006) made groundbreaking contributions to sampling culture, digital sound synthesis, algorithmic composition, minimalism, spectral music, music in non-standard tuning systems, contemporary theories of form and harmony, and the consolidation of an American experimental-music tradition. This volume collects, for the first time, essential interviews and aesthetic writings from throughout his five-decade artistic career. These document both his own work and his involvements with influential figures in mid-century American music, film, art, and technology. The writings are accompanied by a wealth of photographs, artworks, compositional sketches, archival documents, and previously unpublished scores"-- Provided by publisher.
