This LP reveals the extraordinary diversity of research -- almost all hidden -- by Spanish musicians in the '50s and '60s. Those pieces were composed while the country was under the tyranny of
Francisco Franco
. It is truly the ultimate grail, developed by musicologist
Miguel Álvarez-Fernández
: he is its curator, editor and commentator. This undoubtedly marks a major step in the approach and understanding of this music which had to fight to exist before the death of Franco in 1975. Miguel Álvarez-Fernández (Madrid, 1979) is a writer. He hosts the weekly radio broadcast
Ars Sonora
-- dedicated to sound art and experimental music, and offering hundreds of freely available podcasts on
Radio Clásica
(Spanish National Radio).
Five Spanish Pionniers of Eletronic and Experimental Music
aims to present five composers who most often work outside the rules and without the possibility of help from their own country.
Jose Val del Omar
(1904-1982) is essentially a creator, a filmmaker developing a dreamlike art -- not without links with
Federico Garcia Lorca
or
Luis Buñuel
.
Eduardo Polonio
(b. 1941) has published, in forty years, more than a hundred works.
Josep Maria Mestres Quadreny
(1929-2011) joined the Manuel de Falla Circle in 1952 and in 1974 he founded the Laboratori de Música Electroacústica Phonos. During his life he collaborated with
Joan Miró
and
Antoni Tàpies
.
Juan Hidalgo
(1927-2018) participated in the music festival XII Internationale Ferienkurse Fur Neue Musik in Darmstadt in 1957. The following year he met the American composers
John Cage
and
David Tudor
. A member of
Fluxus
, in 1966 he participated with
Gustav Metzger
,
Otto Muehl
,
Wolf Vostell
, and
Hermann Nitsch
in the
Destruction in Art
Symposium in London.
Cristóbal Halffter
(1930-2021) was soon considered one of the most important composers of his generation. As a lecturer at the Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik in Darmstadt, he worked with
Pierre Boulez
,
Karlheinz Stockhausen
, and
Luciano Berio
.
