Marc Sabat, James Tenney, & Stephen Clarke (l to r), in a photograph taken during their participation in the 7th Other Minds Music Festival in March of 2001. James Tenney was born in 1934 in Silver City, New Mexico, and grew up in Arizona and Colorado. A performer as well as a composer and theorist, he was co-founder and conductor of the Tone Roads Chamber Ensemble in New York City (1963-70). He was a pioneer in the field of electronic and computer music, working with Max Mathews and others at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in the early 1960s to develop programs for computer sound-generation and composition. He wrote works for a variety of media, both instrumental and electronic, many of them using alternative tuning systems. The Canadian violin/piano duo of Sabat and Clarke have performed together since 1996. Their repertoire includes the complete violin and piano music of Morton Feldman, James Tenney, and Christian Wolff, as well a major pieces by John Cage, Milton Babbitt and George Antheil. During the second concert of OM 7 on March 9, 2001, the duo performed a selection of works by Tenney, including two that feature a piano tuned in just intonation.Genres & Subjects
