Blanco,Juan Nuestro Tiempo (Our Time) CD

Taking it's name from the group Blanco founded in the '50s to promote the arts in Cuba (Sociedad Cultural Nuestro Tiempo), this album brings together significant works from the span of Blanco's career. 'Cirkus-Toccata' (1983) blends Blanco's percolating prepared tape part with the percussion of Cuban legends Guillermo Barreto (timbales) and Tata Guines (congas). Created with only one oscillator, tape splicing, feedback and basic overdubbing techniques, 'Musica para Danza' (1961) is presented here for the first time, a revelation of lo-fi electronics. The most recent work is 'Espacio V' (1993), part of a series that features Leo Brower and Paquito D'Rivera following an electronic score created with the Jupiter 8 synthesizer.
