Twin Avant-Garde Biographies

Even if you occasionally struggle to listen to Avant-Garde music it can make a fascinating read. It struck me recently that these two books are conceptual twins. Both written with the close co-operation of their subject (a unique qualification in both their cases). The Oulette, which came to me via a recommendation of David Toop's, is almost certainly "OOP". However the Matossian, which is absolutely fascinating, gripping even, i've noticed has just been reprinted. Definitely worth picking up a copy if you come across it.
