Avant Garde Project torrent 124 is up and running

[loudav]

AGP124 continues our series of electronic compositions from the USA with works by two composers: Bulent Arel and Mel Powell. Arel was born and raised in Turkey before coming to the US to work at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. Mel Powell was Director of the Electronic Music Studio at Yale University. The works by Arel were gathered from various LPs, including one work from the Columbia LP featured in last week's installment. Arel's tonal palette is (by design, I think) rather limited, but he achieves some interesting rhythmic effects in his electronic works. The first piece by Powell in this installment was a favorite of mine in high school--showing me how much more bizarre electronic music could be than the psychedelic music that I listened to much of the time. The second and fourth pieces by Powell are acoustic works.
