Polonio – Acaricia La Mañana – LP + 7″

Munster Records/Geometrik

Eduardo Polonio has been one of the key names of Spanish music since the late 1960s, especially as a pioneer in the field of electroacoustic music. He was a member, with Luis de Pablo and Horacio Vaggione, of Grupo Alea Electrónica Libre (1970- 1972), the first Spanish group to play electronic music live; and he was one of the main figures of Barcelona’s Laboratorio Phonos since 1976. He was also a founding member and president, between 1988 and 1994, of Spain’s Electroacoustic Music Association.He is responsible for an absolutely personal body of work, without any kind of stylistic debts, which has often gone beyond the recording tape in order to establish a dialogue with physical space and other artistic creations, as testified by his numerous collaborations with sculptors, video artists, painters, experimental cinema directors, stage designers, and his own work in the field of installation art.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that “Acaricia La Mañana” is a classic and essential record in the history of Spanish electronic music. This facsimile reissue of the 1984 LP released by Unió Music includes a bonus 7″ featuring four previously unissued tracks recorded by Polonio during the same period of 1976-1984.
