Mr. Dal Farra received permission from 33 Latin-American composers to post an additional 200 audio files on the Foundation’s Web site. In all, 231 electroacoustic pieces are now available online, which translates into more than 40 hours of music.

From the forward by Ricardo Dal Farra:

Latin American electroacoustic music has a long, interesting, strong and prolific history, but it’s a history that is little known even within the region itself. Many composers born or living in Latin America have been very active in this field, going back as far as some 50 years in some countries, but the availability of electroacoustic music recordings and information in Latin America has been a problem for educators, composers, performers, researchers, students and the general public.

In an effort to preserve, document and disseminate at least a portion of the electroacoustic music created by Latin American composers, an archive has been developed at the Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art, Science, and Technology. Currently, the following resources are available:

+ + An historical introduction describing the creation of electroacoustic music in Latin America and the process used to develop this music archive.

+ + A selection of 231 compositions created using electroacoustic media by Latin American composers between 1957 and 2007, available for listening online.

+ + Bios and interviews with composers.

+ + Graphic material including scores and pictures.

+ + Finding Aids in the collection: 392 composers, 1,723 compositions (2,264 digital audio files).

+ + Printer friendly PDF files in english or spanish.
