The Avant Garde Project: Online Audio Resource
world wide web

The Avant Garde Project is a series of recordings of 20th-century classical, experimental, and electroacoustic music digitized from LPs whose music has in most cases never been released on CD, and so is effectively inaccessible to the vast majority of music listeners today. An avantgarde project favors experimental aesthetics; that is, anything "out of the box". That basically defines the mission of this site: to encourage readers to wake up from the dream that has kept them bound to zombie-hood and explore areas outside the conventions. Originality is what sets this world into motion. You'll find a guide that will allow you to explore the unexplored, to start hearing the voices of those artists that have refused tradition and led the way for others . . .
