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.
