| AGP58 collects works by
Pauline Oliveros, Lucia Dlugoszewski, Ben Johnston, and Toshi Ichyanagi
from five LPs released by American labels in the 1970s. Oliveros is
represented by a live electronic composition (I of IV) a choral work
(Sound Patterns) and a work for flute, percussion, and string bass
(Outline). The two compositions by Dlugoszewski are for chamber
ensembles. Ben Johnston's Casta Bertram is for string bass and other
nonsense (see notes), and was discovered in my stacks after the release
of AGP9. Ichyanagi's Extended Voices is from an Odyssey LP of that name
that also features John Cage's Solos for Voice 2 from AGP56 and
Oliveros' Sound Patterns. The other compositions on that LP are all
available on CD. Two of the works in AGP58 have been released on CD but are now out of print. These tracks were transcribed from LPs that are in excellent condition, but there are varying levels of pressing noise. While I would describe the pressing noise as only light on most tracks, it is clearly audible in the quietest passages, and there is more such noise than on the last several AGP releases. The installment includes a text file containing notes from the five LPs from which these works were transcribed. To download
