Tennyson's First Symphony is an elemental symphonic work inspired and written during the worldwide pandemic of 2020.

Reviews:

"An organic stream-of-consciousness form, kinetic, drenched in the energy of life..." 

“Tennyson is a musical revolutionary. Symphony No. 1 is destined to be an iconoclastic, ineluctable 21st-century work of art...”

“...he (Tennyson) exhibits a great deal of motivic unity throughout both movements and a connective harmonic language of his own.”

An Erik Satie piano piece, being fed into 4 series instances of the upcoming plugin. The plugin is set for a longish reverb sound, with 3 of the instances also being set to pitch shift the feedback (at intervals of +/- 12 semitones, +/- 7 semitones, and +/- 5 semitones). The results remind me of the Stargate sequence from 2001.
