Avant Garde Project torrent 143 is up and running

[loudav]

AGP143 is the third in a series of transcriptions of the long out-of-print ReR Quarterly, produced by Recommended Records. Released at irregular intervals of no less than three months, the series continued through three volumes of LP releases, before switching to the CD medium for a fourth volume starting in 1994, and then ending in 1997. Each volume except the third consisted of four issues containing a magazine and either an LP or CD of music. A pair of CDs with selected tracks from the first two volumes were released in 1991, but those are now also long out of print. A complete track listing for the series can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReR_Quarterly.

AGP143 is a transcription of the LP from volume 1, issue 3, released in January 1986. The highlights of this issue for me are an electroacoustic piece (track 02), an impressive piece for solo percussion (track 04), and a series of avant-pop pieces composed at the 1983 Montepulciano Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte festival (begun in 1976 by Hans Werner Henze), as part of an improvisational workshop involving Chris Cutler and five other musicians (track 07).
