  • I'm a muscular blackafrican & I don't see how that has anything to do with Tenney. Thanks to Kyle Gann for trumpeting his name n the Village Voice years ago so i would want to find out who this great innovative American was.I can't believe he 's dead already.there goes another guy I can't study with!

  • That's really cool.

  • I think you're on to something. If would be more effective if it was perfomed in a more frenzied fashion by muscular Black Africans.

  • Wowser!!!!

  • awesome. great piece of music and tribute to mr. ives.

  • this is probably the coolest thing i've ever seen/heard

  • This is amazing.

  • Tenney has composed many pieces in tribute, such as his most famous piece "For Ann (rising)". "WAKE" is in a series of percussion pieces named for 20th century composers. Listen to the increase in rhythmic density caused by the longer and longer snare drum rolls till they circle around from left to right before beginning to overlap. When they fully overlap the process ends and the players hit simultaneously.
