Avant Garde Project torrent 148 is up and running

[loudav]

AGP148 is a 24-bit transcription of Triola and Bizarra, an amazing pair of electroacoustic works by the Croatian composer Ivo Malec, who has worked in France since 1959 and has been a longtime member of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales. The LP transcribed for this installment was released originally in the INA-GRM Collection in 1979. Like everything else I have in that collection, this is one of my most prized LPs. The works were also released by the INA on CD, but that release appears to be out of print.

The composer recommends that part 1 of Triola be listened to very, very loud. I have had good results with a level that elicits equal parts rapture and blind panic. You can then keep it at that level for the rest of the work. If your ears start bleeding during part 3, you should probably dial it down a bit.

Enjoy! And if you like this music and AGP75, 125, 139, and 140, you can find much more of the same brilliant electroacoustic music at www.electrocd.com and www.ina.fr, including other works by Bayle, Parmegiani, and Malec.

AGP NEWS: The AGP is reaching the end of its tether, and will be too preoccupied with other matters to release installments this summer. AGP148 may be the last till September, or there may be one or two more next weekend. In the meantime, enjoy the 150 hours of music already available.
