AGP17 features three electroacoustic works by the Spanish composer Luis de Pablo, all created between 1974 and 1976, when de Pablo was working at the electronic music studio at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Luis de Pablo founded the first electronic music studio in Spain, in 1965, and composed a number of electroacoustic works starting shortly thereafter (in addition to his large catalog of vocal and instrumental works). These three have an intriguing reverberatory sound that can be a bit murky at times but conveys an atmosphere of mystery. Visto de Cerca is for three musicians and tape, the musicians singing as well as playing a variety of instruments. Chaman appears to be de Pablo's only published work for electronic tape alone. Al son que tocan is an homage to the great Spanish poet Antonio Machado, for voice, instruments, and tape. The LPs from which these were transcribed are in great condition except for a nasty scuff in the first 30 seconds of Chaman. I used the envelope tool in Audacity to take the edge off it. The included text file contains the Spanish liner notes from both LPs. Since I do not speak Spanish, they are an unedited output of my OCR program.
