EN GARDE FOR AVANT-GARDE is a webradio dedicated to experimental, contemporary and avant-garde music :

We selected hundreds of compositions covering a wide range of music styles (classical, electro, whale songs, unclassifiable noises, etc.) and some are from THE AVANT-GARDE PROJECT files.

Are you ready to seat back, relax and enjoy the ride to brand new sonic landscapes ?
