Description

This 2021 Dialogo reissue of a 1978 Cramps LP holds La máquina de cantar, which the Argentine composer Horacio Vaggione made in 1971 on the IBM 7090 at the University of Madrid’s Centro de Cálculo (computing center), with technical advice from its director, Florentino Briones. His score went onto punched cards as numbers. A program called POPOVA turned them into sound inside the computer, and analog filters, an oscillator and an echo chamber then shaped the result. The other side, Ending, is a live piece for three Minimoog synthesizers and organ.
