James Tenney's "Harmonium" is a captivating exploration of avant-garde and minimalist music, released on New World Records in 2018. This experimental album spans a concise yet immersive 64 minutes, featuring six intricate compositions that showcase Tenney's innovative approach to sound and structure.
The album opens with "Harmonium #1," setting the stage for a journey through complex harmonies and rhythmic patterns. "For 12 Strings (rising)" builds on this foundation, with its ascending melodies and delicate textures. The three-part "Two Koans and a Canon" sequence is a highlight, offering a blend of contemplative and dynamic elements, culminating in the intricate "[Canon]."
"Voice(s)" introduces a more ethereal quality, while "Blues for Annie" brings a touch of familiarity with its blues-inspired motifs, yet still firmly rooted in Tenney's experimental style. Throughout "Harmonium," Tenney's mastery of minimalism and avant-garde techniques shines, making it a compelling listen for those interested in the boundaries of contemporary classical music.
