A note: A number of the tracks here are taken from live
recordings that were not necessarily intended for release. While
our best efforts have been made to reduce the original broadband noise,
we found it necessary to allow some to remain in order to preserve
clarity.
This new Pogus 2 CD compilation, curated by Luis Alvarado (writer,
journalist, sound poet), presents some of the most important pieces of
the Peruvian musical vanguard of the 1960’s and 70’s, offering a
representative sample of works and composers from this important period
in Peruvian music. This release also includes a 24-page booklet – in
both Spanish and English – with an essay giving an overview of the
works, the composers, and a brief musical and social history of Peru
during this time.
Thirteen works by thirteen different composers – 5 tape pieces and 8
instrumental works – give an excellent introduction to some fascinating
composers who are known outside of Peru in varying degrees, if at all.
These composers explored serial, electronic, electroacoustic, and
aleatoric music during a time of tension between politics and the
avant-garde in academic music in Latin America. The 1960s and 1970s
were particularly difficult years for Latin American social movements,
and a time when the concepts of vanguard, revolution and universalism
enter into complex interactions. These works and their composers ask
not how much experimentation occurred, but what the use of these
techniques represent and to what extent did these musicians and their
music engage critically with modernity?
Our hope is that the listener will find some or all of these composers
and their works of interest, and will further explore the music made by
these fine composers as it hopefully becomes more available over time.
