Re: [microsound] text and context

Some of you might enjoy this book I found used titled "The Theory of the 
Avant-Garde" by Renato Poggioli, I have not had a chance to really dig into 
it yet, but the chapters sound interesting, I have read the one on 
technology and the avant garde, but really need to read it a few more times 
to understand it, the book was written in 1968 if that provides any 
historical context.
