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.

AGP1-157 are now available for direct download in the archive at www.avantgardeproject.org

AGP158-166 and other AGP installments are also available at http://thepiratebay.org/user/loudav

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

AGP167 is a 24-bit, 44.1 kHz transcription of a long out-of-print 2LP set of The Complete Music of Carl Ruggles (CBS Masterworks M2 34591). This set has never been re-issued on CD, nor is there any other commercially available collection of these works, which is just weird and shows up the occasional glaring shortcomings of the traditional system for distributing music.

Ruggles was a contemporary and close friend of Charles Ives, who had something of the same streak of staunch individualism in both life and art. Unlike Ives, he composed slowly and painstakingly, and so produced only a small collection of compositions. In later life, he devoted more of his creative energy to painting and drawing than to music.

I would have included this set in the AGP long ago, but I\'d always assumed it had been reissued on CD or at least that there was another CD collection of these works. The same devoted AGP partisan who provided the CD transcription for AGP162 recently called my attention to the fact that this set is out of print, so I got to transcribing it. Actually, it\'s a lucky thing I didn\'t do it earlier, as the iffy CBS vinyl and the dense orchestral sonorities wouldn\'t have transcribed as well with my old tonearm. While there is some light pressing noise, and a bit of congestion in the last few minutes of Sun-Treader, otherwise the transcription is gratifyingly clean. The recording of the orchestral works is fairly detailed if a bit warm and indistinct, possibly as a result of the space it was recorded in.

The torrent includes a PDF file with scans of the notes on the inside and outside of the LP cover. Early next week, I\'ll upload a 16-bit, CD-burnable transcription version as AGP168. I\'m also hoping to have AGP158-162 added to the archive soon.

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