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


AGP155-157 and other AGP installments are also available at http://thepiratebay.org/user/loudav





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





I was going to continue with the US Electronc Music series this week, but I stumbled upon a cache of out-of-print CDs by the legendary pioneering minimalist composer La Monte Young, and so AGP158 is the first of (probably) three devoted to his work. These CDs are so rare that used copies of some of them sell for hundreds of dollars each. 





This week's installment features The Melodic Version (1984) of The Second Dream of The High-Tension Line Stepdown Transformer, from The Four Dreams of China (1962), from a 1991 Gramavision CD (R2-79467). The recording features The Theatre Of Eternal Music Brass Ensemble led by trumpeter Ben Neill. Here the sustained tones produced by the brass section eerily imitate the sounds of the electrical power transformers that Young remembers listening to as a child in Bern, Idaho. This is music stripped down to its bare essentials--just four notes, in fact--so that the harmonic relationships between the complex timbres of those notes can be relished. This work makes the more austere passages in Horatiu Radulecu's Inner Time II (AGP109) sound in comparison like piece by Conlon Nancarrow. It's not for everyone.





I was only given the data files from these CDs, so I have no scans of the liner notes. For more information on La Monte Young, see the Wikipedia article on him. 





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.
