A brief history of electroacoustic music vol. 1 (1937-1958)

Luciano Berio

A
bbiamo già indagato, in minima parte, la nascita dell'avanguardia elettroacustica, nei due versanti, concreto (Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry, Edgard Varése con l'appendice di Luigi Russolo e della musica futurista) ed elettronico (Early gurus of electronic music, Early modulations vintage volts). 
Qui presentiamo un'antologia rappresentativa dell'avanguardia dai primi passi negli anni Cinquanta sino al pieno sviluppo.

  2. Dear Friend, thank you for all your amazing posts and carefully curated selections.

    I have a question about this Musica elettroacustica post. I eagerly downloaded them all but every track finishes 'early'. I checked the track times against those on discogs and they seem shorter. Is this perhaps a problem with my downloading, or is it something you've done deliberately to provide only a "sampler" of material to avoid "copyright issues".

    I would love to find full versions of many of the compositions, but I understand if you cannot post these.

    Warm regards,
    Malone

    1. You'll find full versions in the future in special posts about single authors (you can download Schaeffer, Henry, Varése, Russolo).
      This is a brief anthology and, you're right, 'part' of the tracks are "shorter" (it's impossible to list everything because some tracks are not so shorter).

      Elimina
    2. Wonderful, thank you!
      And thank you also for taking the time to respond to my query, I really appreciate it and your generosity in sharing this great and important music.
