This album is the earliest I'm featuring here, from several years before Tenney died. In fact, the "diaphonic" pieces were recorded shortly after they were composed.

Although none of this music rises quite to the level of "essential" for me, the latter do remain important. Morever, Hat Art has produced one of the largest Tenney discographies out there (rivaling New World) so far, including:

Tenney: Bass Works
