In 1984, Música Electroacústica Mexicana was released as the third volume in the series Colección
Hispano-Mexicana de Música Contemporánea, co-curated by Antonio Russek and artist Ángel Cósmos. This
anthology served as a tableau of the contemporary state of Mexican electroacoustic music, featuring works by
Russek, Raúl Pavón Sarrelangue, Roberto Morales Manzanares, and Vicente Rojo Cama. It marked the first-ever
electroacoustic music release from Mexico. Although experimental compositions had existed since the early 20th
century—such as Julián Carrillo’s Sonido 13—this was the first electroacoustic release compiling Mexican artists.
The album was originally sold in a black PVC sleeve with a screen-printed cover featuring a graphic by
renowned painter Vicente Rojo Sr. (father of Vicente Rojo Cama) titled México Bajo la Lluvia (“Mexico Under the
Rain”). Only 1,000 copies were pressed, many of which were damaged due to PVC off-gassing. This has contributed
to the album’s rarity and its status as a sought-after artifact among enthusiasts of experimental music, historical
electroacoustic work, and rare Mexican pressings. (The new reissue features a poly-lined sleeve and a standard,
non-PVC jacket.)
A perfect representation of the experimental music scene in Mexico, the album fits within a series that
sought to highlight the diversity and richness of music in Mexico and Latin America. Aurora Central Records
proudly presents the first-ever reissue of this unique and powerful album—nearly two years in the making—with
updated bilingual biographies by Pablo Dodero and newly remastered audio by Antonio Russek, sourced from the
original master tapes
