Our Take

Zeitkratzer's latest offering, a tribute to the legendary James Tenney, is a mesmerizing journey through the avant-garde universe of experimental music. From the moment you press play, you are transported into a sonic landscape unlike anything you've ever experienced.

The album kicks off with "Critical Band," a cacophony of dissonant sounds that swirl and collide in a symphony of chaos. As the track progresses, you can't help but be drawn in by the sheer audacity and boldness of Tenney's vision.

"Having Never Written a Note for Percussion" is a standout track that showcases Zeitkratzer's skill and precision. The intricate layers of percussion dance around each other, building tension and excitement as the piece reaches its crescendo.

But it's the closing track, "Harmonium #3," that truly steals the show. This hauntingly beautiful composition is a testament to Tenney's genius, and Zeitkratzer's performance is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

In conclusion, Zeitkratzer's homage to James Tenney is a must-listen for any fan of experimental music. With their unmatched skill and passion, they have created a truly unforgettable listening experience that will leave you craving more. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let Zeitkratzer take you on a wild ride through the mind of a musical master.
