"The full title of this landmark collection, Otra Musica: Tape Music, Fluxus
& Free Improvisation in Buenos Aires 1963-70, says a tremendous amount this
overwhelming package in & of itself. Though he has only recently come to
international attention through his recordings for Hatart as a leader and
with Franz Koglmann, Argentinean clarinetist and alto saxophonist Guillermo
Gregorio had a fascinating earlier artistic incarnation in Buenos Aires.
Heretofore totally unknown, these recordings bring to light an incredibly
sophisticated sound-world of proto-electronica, Fluxus-oriented performance
art and very early free improvised music, all from a virtually secret
enclave of South American experimentalism. Sixteen tracks, none ever
released before, with various groups including Movimiento M�sica M�s,
totally free duets with trumpeter Carlos Miralles from '64, an astounding
solo alto piece from the same year. Painstakingly researched and lavishly
documented, with an in-depth essay by John Corbett, loads of great photos
and reproductions of two of Gregorio's 1960s paintings, Otra Musica: Tape
Music, Fluxus & Free Improvisation in Buenos Aires 1963-70 will stand as one
of the great archival unearthings of creative music."
