Abstract

This article presents an approach to the figure of the Argentine musician Adolfo Reisin (1936-2020), still unknown to the general public and the musicological community. Firstly, Reisin’s work for theatre in Argentina in the 1960s is explored, where he was part of the Teatro de los Independientes. The main international figures that influenced his aesthetics (Pierre Schaeffer, Luigi Nono and Iannis Xenakis, among others) and how Reisin evolved towards the practice of collective free improvisation are analysed below. Reisin’s main contribution in this area was the so-called “corporal-gestural solfeggio”, which is explained combining the analysis of archival sources, recordings and personal interviews with the author.
