HUNGARIAN STEAM LOCOMOTIVES This one is a 24-bit transcription of an LP on Hungaroton records (SLPX 19213), featuring sublime recordings of Hungarian steam locomotives. Includes the sounds of the steam engines themselves, together with the clanking and squealing of metal on metal, birds, dogs, insects, and other ambient sounds.     The rest of the artwork is included in the .rar file. Download link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ICW0GGO6 |

I'm having trouble finding seeds for Jacques Duphly - 1760 Stehlin Harpsichord 24-bit FLAC -- any help, Folks? Thanks!
(My goal is to track down and download every cotton-pickin' Lou Davenport vinyl transcription for which the man made a torrent or otherwise uploaded). |

I have that one, too. Here's a link to a torrent: http://fenopy.com/torrent/jacques+du...khz/Mjg3MjYxOA There's only one seeder at the moment, it seems. I can probably help seed later today when i get home from work. |

The only relation, as far as i can tell, between the Avantgarde Project and this recording, is that it was transferred to .flac by the same person who did all the AGP transfers, and whose username at the pirate bay tracker was loudav. Other recordings that i've got, which aren't listed as part of the AGP, but were also transferred by loudav:

AGP 57. THE WORLD OF HARRY PARTCH

Hell yeah! |
AGP 117. This one ranks highly in my list of favorites.
IANCU DUMITRESCU loudav's notes: ======================================= AGP117 is a transcription of one of my most prized LPs, containing two works by the Romanian composer Iancu Dumitrescu. Medium II is for solo double bass, and Cogito / Trompe L'Oeil is for two double basses, prepared piano, and percussion. In Medium II, the sounds produced by the double bass explore the edge between tones and noise, and yet an everpresent tonal center is provided by the notes produced by the open strings, giving the excursions into higher tones something of the feel of a raga. The rhythms of the piece remind me at times of the breathing of some great beast or of the surge of the ocean through a tidal cave. The addition of more instruments in Cogito introduces further tonal centers and still more timbral complexity, with considerably more sound energy in higher registers. Dumitrescu describes Medium II as the hidden, mysterious reverse of Cogito, and suggests that the two works could even be played simultaneously. If you have the right media-playing software, you may be able to arrange such a performance for yourself. Personally, I tremble at the thought. The torrent includes a PDF file with scans of LPs liner notes. I have waited until now to transcribe this LP because a CD of Medium III, Cogito, and other works used to be available on the Edition Modern label out of Romania. I am told that this CD is now out of print, though you may be able to find one of the few remaining copies through internet distributors. I have never heard the CD, and so cannot say how different Medium II is from Medium III, or how different the two performances of Cogito are. If someone who has the CD judges the two releases to be different enough, I would be delighted to include a transcription of the CD in a future AGP installment. 01 - Medium II [23:38] 02 - Cogito, Trompe L'Oeil [19:57] Equipment used for A/D conversion: Lyra Helikon phono cartridge, Linn LP12/Lingo turntable, Linn Ittok tonearm, Audioquest LeoPard tonearm cable, PS Audio PS2 preamplifier, Kimber PBJ interconnect, M-Audio Audiophile USB A/D converter. NOTE: To the best of my knowledge, this recording is currently out of print. 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. Download link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/lstic0 |
AGP 48
TRIO INSTRUMENTAL ELECTROACOUSTIQUE loudav's notes: ======================================= AGP48 features the work of a French trio, all of whom play synthesizers and two of whom play violin and cello on some works. They play works by trio members as well as Philippe Mion and Bernard Parmegiani, as well as collaborative compositions. The six tracks of this installment comprise all but one of the tracks on a 2LP set on INA-GRM records. The last track, by Bernard Parmegiani, will be included in AGP49. My personal favorite track is 05, by Philippe Mion. His sense of rhythm is reminiscent of L'Image Éconduite (AGP5), as is the fugal structure he achieves through the overlapping of reiterated sound elements with gradual development in the course of the composition. The timbres are more limited in this work, but still enjoyable. The recording and pressing of this installment is basically flawless. The torrent includes a text file with the English language notes from the set. Equipment used for A/D conversion: Lyra Helikon phono cartridge, Linn LP12/Lingo turntable, Linn Ittok tonearm, Audioquest LeoPard tonearm cable, PS Audio PS2 preamplifier, Kimber PBJ interconnect, M-Audio Audiophile USB A/D converter. 01 - Dufour, Reve Lisse, for 2 synthesizers and violin [12:16] 02 - Geslin, Volumetriques, for 2 synthesizers et bande spatialisee [13:23] 03 - Cuniot, Quatour, for 2 synthesizers, violin, and cello [17:53] 04 - Trio, Situation de jeu [5:06] 05 - Mion, Trois Esquisses Ouvertes, for 3 synthesizers [20:46] 06 - Trio, Situation de jeu [6:53] NOTE: To the best of my knowledge, these recordings are currently out of print. 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. Download link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SVMJVSE2 |

Possibly one of NASA's most avant-garde projects ever, SYMPHONIES OF THE PLANETS is a five-CD set that is now out of print. Put simply, it consists of recordings made by Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 as they passed by the various planets and moons of our solar system. Although sound as we perceive it cannot travel in the vacuum of space, each planet and moon emits its own electromagnetic "signature" that can be picked up by the right instruments, and those emanations can be converted into sound and recorded onto compact discs for your listening enjoyment.

 Li-Jianhong is at the leading edge of Asian avant-noise. Hailing from Zhejiang Province in China (before moving to Hangzhou) he formed the avant-rock group "Second Skin" and now manages 2pi Records. He lays waste to the retrograde psychedelic guitar landscape and trivializes the petty cartoon violence and shock tactics so popular within too many harsh noise projects. P.S.F. records describe him as "China's hottest, loudest and most psychedelic avant-noise guitarist". I can't add to that.

White - first live (at the 13Club) (10'50) release notes : I spent six month in China from February to July this year. I came on the invitation of a school, to be a music teacher, but never worked with them, actually they had no music room, no piano, no students... So I played in some jazz clubs, some really boring old school jazz. I also went to many shitty rock and pop and electro concerts. The music scene in China is really conservative, and most of the time it's designed to fit the need of the whites entertainement. Or perhaps I'm totally wrong. Instead of being a music teacher, I turned to be some kind of student, trying to speak chinese, trying to understand chinese people, trying to save my face and not to loose my temper... And I've seen some great performances by noise artists in Beijing and Shanghai, like White, D!O!D!O!D!, and Torturing nurse, and played with them (as Keplerslaws) in the NOIShanghai festival. I began to play noise music one year ago, but this was a totally different experience. I think I learned a lot from those noise artists, they were into something really different from anything I've seen before. There is no compromise in their music. They can play one hour of some really violent stuff, almost injuring theirself by rolling on the floor or destroying things around, and then turn instantly to be some nice, almost shy people. They are not into being stars or even professionals. They do some genuine stuff in a world of fake. Or perhaps I'm totally wrong. I wanted to release something from them. I thought primary of a "chinese artists only" compilation, but then I decided it was stupid, so there are artists from many countries. I just asked people to send me a track for a noise compilation inspired by China and noise. Then I felt confused with some tracks, because they are not pure harshnoise, so I made a crescendo playlist. The first tracks are still into some electroacoustic experiments, D'incise's one is a kind of axis, then it turns to harshnoise. The last track is the end of the first concert of White, in Beijing, and it's the first nice thing I've seen while I was in China, in february. This is also the second anniversary release on eDogm, and running this netlabel is another great and disturbing experience. Or perhaps I'm totally wrong. - Johann Bourquenez, Paris, August 14th, 2006 http://www.edogm.net/releases/edo013/index.html |

Avantgarde Project 43 PIERRE HENRY loudav's notes: ======================================= AGP43 is the second of two installments of early out-of-print works by Pierre Henry. It is transcribed from an LP devoted to Pierre Henry in the rare and legendary Philips Prospective 21st Siecle series from the late 1960s and early 1970s. The first side of the LP is devoted to the original, long version of Henry's Voile D'Orphee (written in 1951-53 and described as "probably the first major work of symphonic concrete music"), with the edited version starting the second side. The remaining two tracks are short electroacoustic works from 1960 and 1965. The torrent includes a text file containing the liner notes from the LP from which these works were transcribed. Equipment used for A/D conversion: Lyra Helikon phono cartridge, Linn LP12/Lingo turntable, Linn Ittok tonearm, Audioquest LeoPard tonearm cable, PS Audio PS2 preamplifier, Kimber PBJ interconnect, M-Audio Audiophile USB A/D converter. NOTE: Actually, track 04 is ripped from an out-of-print CD release on Harmonia Mundi that also included Variations for a Door and a Sigh. I was originally going to include that latter work in AGP43, but it is available in another CD release through Amazon.fr.

hbj, you are correct, piratebay/mininova user loudav is Lou Davenport, father of the Avant Garde Project. The 24-bit FLAC transcriptions he has created with a $7000 turntable/analog/digital converter rig are legend. Which brings me to: kindly reseed (again for me) Jacques Duphly Stehlin Harpsichord on FLAC? Don't know what happened last time I tried, but I haven't managed to get a byte yet. Thanks! |

JACQUES DUPHLY
Stehlin Hapsichord (24 bit/44.1 KHZ FLAC) loudav's notes: This is a recording of harpsichord pieces by Jacques Duphly (1715-1789), a French harpsichord composer. Duphly is not as well known as his predecessors Francois Couperin and Jean-Philippe Rameau, but the music in this selection is excellent. It was recorded on May 19/20, 1977 in the Hall of Musical Instruments, National Museum of History and Technology, Washington, DC. It was engineered by the always capable Marc Aubort and Joanna Nickrenz. The instrument, built by Benoist Stehlin in 1760, has a lovely complex tone characteristic of late French harpsichord design. It's one of the most altogether satisfying recordings of a harpsichord I've heard. 01 - Allemande, Courante, Le Vanlo [11:29] 02 - Rondeau, La Tribolet [7:05] 03 - Rondeau, La Damanzy, La Cazamajor [8:56] 04 - Le Forqueray [5:43] 05 - Chaconne [7:01] 06 - Le Medee [3:59] 07 - Le Pothouin [5:13] Complete scores of Duphly's pieces for harpsichord can be found at: http://imslp.org/wiki/Pi%C3%A8ces_de...ly,_Jacques%29 This is one in a series of LP transcriptions I'm uploading, using an analog rig that is near state-of-the-art (the turntable, tonearm, cartridge, pre-amplifier, and cables together cost about $10K). As a result, there is virtually no surface noise or tracking distortion, and much finer resolution of detail than you may be accustomed to in LP transcriptions. The sound is sweeter, richer, and more natural. The LPs I'm selecting for these transcriptions were brilliantly recorded and are in excellent condition, so the transcriptions do full justice to the additional resolution provided by 24-bit quantization. The performances are among my favorites. The files have all been properly tagged and titled, according to WHAT.CD standards. The torrent includes a PDF file with scans of the LP covers and liner notes, including pictures and technical drawings of the instrument. Lyra Helikon phono cartridge Linn LP12 turntable with Cirkus upgrade and Lingo power supply Linn Ittok tonearm Audioquest LeoPard tonearm cable PS Audio PS2 preamplifier Kimber PBJ interconnect M-Audio Audiophile USB A/D converter all plugged into PS Audio P300 Power Plant (regenerative AC synthesizer) Live Lite 4 for M Audio 4.0.4, 24-bit/44.1 kHz ClickRepair 3.0.1, DeClick=1, DeCrackle=Off, Method=Wavelet, Pitch Protection (lowest possible settings) FLAC, level 8 Note: Some people have questioned my use of a relatively inexpensive M-Audio A/D converter with such a high-quality analog rig. But I can testify that the M-Audio produces excellent results. The output (D/A) side of budget components like the M-Audio is the main weakness, because outputting an analog signal requires pre-amplification, which requires good electronics to do well. But the input (A/D) side receives an already-amplified analog signal and merely has to digitize it. This is done by the Texas Instruments (formerly Burr-Brown) chip in the M-Audio, which has nothing to be ashamed of. All the M-Audio has to contribute is a minimal signal path (RCA connector, wires) to the chip and the DC power that the chip runs on. The quality of the DC power in this case is considerably enhanced by plugging the M-Audio into a PS Audio P300 Power Plant, which regenerates pure AC power through amplification of a 60 Hz, 117V signal. The resultant 24-bit files differ from the analog original only slightly.

Li Jianhong - 鸟 [Bird] (2pi, 2007)
A solo work of Li with 8 guitar tracks, most of which were recorded from improvisational playing during September of 2007 and the others were even earlier. Compared with previous guitar solos which are more psychedelic and noisy, Bird is closer to totally free. Although his sound is still full of feedbacks of guitars, electronic currents and noises from pedals, this album is only a improvise flying with no aims. http://www.mediafire.com/?h4u2uc507d7sufq (not my rip) Li Jianhong / Huang Jin / Ji Mu / Li Tieqiao - Live in Nanjing [2pi] A live recording of Li Jianhong (guitar/effects/vocal), Huang Jin (drum/percussion), Ji Mu (live electronics) and Li Tieqiao (alto sax) in Nanjing on Sep. 9th, 2006. http://rapidshare.com/files/45719422...jing__2pi_.rar Pisces Iscariots (Dajuin Yao + Li Jianhong + Yan Jun) - Live at 2pi Festival 2004 [KwanYin Records, 2006] Dajuin Yao - laptop Li Jianhong - tape recorder, laptop, effector Yan Jun - singing bowls, sound forks, i-pod, MD, CD, voice http://rapidshare.com/files/45720055...tival_2004.rar |
Li Jianhong, Douglas Lee, VAVABOND, Huang Jin - Improvisitional Plan No 1 [2pi]
During the April of 2007, artists of 2pi records make their 2nd Shot of "ChuShen" tour in Chengdu and Chongqing of Sichuan Province. Li Jianhong, Douglas Lee, VAVABOND and Huang Jin decided to make an album by using the opportunity. The initial idea was to make a high-volum noise album without any restrictions, but the result was dissatisfied. Therefore, they went out to eat for a break in the deep midnight. It was the time the idea came out to Li Jianhong that he suggested to use the garbages in the rehearsal room - dumped plastic bags, instrument strings, plastic bags, paper, steel pipes - together with playing of instruments to make a recording freely and improvisationally. That is how this improv album was given to birth Li Jianhong: Guitar, Surmu (22-30cm), plastic bags, electric fan, steel pipes, vocal, empty plastic bottles, other garbages. Douglas Lee: Sumu (22-30cm), Surmu (32-40cm), Erh, vocal, cucurbit flute, plastic foam, empty plastic bottles, other garbages. VAVABOND: Lap-top, garbages. Huang Jin: Percussion, drum, bass strings, vocals, other garbages http://rapidshare.com/files/45719786..._Plan_No_1.rar That's my lot for now, I have to go grocery shopping. |
BRIAN ENO
"Music for Prague" (A Generative Music composition, 1998) 01. Music for Prague 58:44 This release is from a one-off CD of sound sketches made by Brian Eno while working on his 1998 installation with Jiri Prihoda in Prague. During the installation itself, the music played on 12 CD players on random shuffle and repeat modes. In January, 2001 the CD was donated to an auction in aid of South London Arts and raised £400. More information about the installation, including a downloadable brochure, can be downloaded from here: http://www.jiriprihoda.cz/start.htm    Download link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/2od2wd |
