One of the twentieth century's most important musical thinkers, James Tenney did pioneering
work in multiple fields, including computer music, tuning theory, and algorithmic
and computer-assisted composition. From Scratch is a collection of Tenney's hard-to-find
writings arranged, edited, and revised by the self-described "composer/theorist."
Selections focus on his fundamental concerns - "what the ear hears"--And include thoughts
and ideas on perception and form, tuning systems and especially just intonation, information
theory, theories of harmonic space, and stochastic (chance) procedures of composition
