The Avant Garde Project is a series of 20th-century classical-experimental- 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.
Ignore the seeders/leechers statistics, as they often show no seeders when in fact there are some. For the time being, a new AGP torrent is being seeded around midnight each Friday night (GMT), and is advertised on the I Hate Music Forum.
AGP38 is the second of three installments devoted to electronic and electro-acoustic music from six different European countries.
This one surveys productions of electronic music studios in France, Poland, Slovakia, and Italy, created between 1962 and 1969. All but the last track in this installment were transcribed from American LPs with low levels of pressing and surface noise. Malec s Dahovi is included even though it also appeared in AGP13, to permit comparison of this LP transcription with the other.
The torrent includes a text file containing liner notes from the three LPs from which these works were transcribed.
Compositions by Pierre Schaeffer and Luc Ferrari on one of the three LPs were not included because they are currently available on CD.
