Torrent description

The Avant Garde Project is a series of 20th-century classical, experimental, and electroacoustic torrents digitized from LPs whose music has in most cases never been released on CD, and so is effectively inaccessible to the vast majority of music listeners today. This is wild stuff, so check it out if you've never heard this sort of music before. The analog rig used to extract the sound from the grooves is near state-of-the-art, producing almost none of the tracking distortion or surface noise normally associated with LPs.

AGP1-154 are now available for direct download in the archive at www.avantgardeproject.org
AGP155 and other AGP installments are also available at http://thepiratebay.org/user/loudav

CALLING ALL AGP PARTISANS: I'd love to include any or all of the following out-of-print CDs in the AGP. If you have one or more and would be willing to make and upload FLAC files, I'd be most grateful. I can walk you through any part of the process you're unfamiliar with. Scans of the CD booklets would be appreciated as well, if you're set-up to make them.

A generous AGP partisan has come forward with a transcription of Janacek's two string quartets by the Gabrieli quartet. If anyone has the recording by the Medici quartet, I'd love to include that one too. I'm also still looking for:

Bartok's 44 Duos for two violins, performed by Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman
Berg's Lulu, performed by (among others) Anja Silja, Christoph von Dohnanyi, and the Vienna Philharmonic
Hindemith Kammermusiken performed by Concerto Amsterdam

You can readily find my email address at avantgardeproject.org. Thanks!

=======================================

AGP156 continues our series of US electronic music with works by the composers John Melby and James Tenney, collected from three LPs on the CRI label (SD 528, 310, and 364). The works by Melby all involve computer-synthesized tape set against live performers. In his Concerto for Violin, English Horn, and Computer-Synthesized Tape, the electronic and instrumental sounds at the beginning sound to my ear altogether unrelated to each other and grow gradually more integrated over the course of the concerto. In 91 plus 5, by contrast, the timbres of the brass quintet fit the electronic sounds more naturally throughout. Saxony by James Tenney is for saxophone played into a tape-delay system such as Pauline Oliveros used for I of IV in AGP58. The choice of melodies by the saxophone is largely open-ended, but should be restricted to the first 32 harmonic partials of a low E-flat. The upper 16 of those comprise a division of one octave into 16 unequal intervals. My heart goes out to the saxophonist David Mott for having managed that.

The torrent includes a PDF file with scans of the notes from all three LPs.

66 - James Tenney, Saxony [23:45]
67 - John Melby, Concerto for Violin, English Horn, and Tape [21:01]
68 - John Melby, 91 Plus 5 for Brass Quintet and Computer [20:22]
69 - John Melby, Two Stevens Songs for Soprano and Tape [9:20]

Equipment used for A/D conversion: Lyra Helikon phono cartridge, Linn LP12/Lingo turntable, Linn Ittok tonearm, Audioquest LeoPard tonearm cable, PS Audio PS2 preamplifier, Kimber PBJ interconnect, M-Audio Audiophile USB A/D converter.

NOTE: To the best of my knowledge, these recordings are not currently available commercially. If you know otherwise, please let me know ASAP, as I do not wish any artists to be deprived of the royalties that they so richly deserve.
