Tensko’s “Identity”: An Exploration Of Being Human
Tristan Caswell-Riday composes the album “Identity” under their musical alias Tensko. Released early in the year on January 10th, the album is a collection of songs they have made over the past 3 years that explores the journey they’ve gone through to find themselves. All pieces were composed by them virtually throughout the years from both their home in Maine and during the short period of time they were on campus pre-covid. Working mainly under the dance and EDM style of music, they are an SRT major who will be graduating in 2023! Listen to their album and follow them on their journey as they learn more about themselves and the music they want to produce. Dancing and getting down to the tracks are also highly recommend, it is dance music after all!
