Switched On: The Dawn of Electronic Sound by Latin American Women listening session
Jacob Lindgren @ 2024-10-29 11:46:38 -0500Join us on Saturday (November 2nd) at 5:30pm for a talk and listening session surrounding Switched On: The Dawn of Electronic Sound by Latin American Women with editor Alejandra Cardenas (also known as Ale Hop). 🔊 🧰 🌎 The book, published by @contingentsounds, presents a collection of perspectives, essays, interviews, archival photos, and work reviews centered on the early electronic music production by Latin American female creators, who were active from the 1960s to the 1980s—destabilizing the "official" history of 20th-century avant-garde electronic music, one predominantly narrated from the point of view of Anglo-American and Western European experiences and largely remained focused on its male protagonists.
Alejandra will talk about the background of the composers found in the book and play sound examples to make Latin American music history experienceable. 🎛 🌀 ¡Nos vemos!
