The Peruvian composer César Bolaños went to Buenos Aires in 1963 on a fellowship to the CLAEM, the Latin American music center of the Di Tella Institute, where he was put in charge of building its first electronic music lab. The computer pieces among the nine works on this two-CD set from Pogus are Sialoecibi and Canción sin palabras, both from 1970, which he made with the mathematician Mauricio Milchberg, backed by Honeywell Bull and Olivetti Argentina. Bolaños called them ESEPCO, “estructura sonoro-expresiva por computación” (sound-expressive structure by computation).
