In the Huachichil culture, the word Tangamanga means land of gold and water. In the past that was the name of the city of San Luis potosí, México. But today is the name of a public park in the same city.

Video for an experimental soundscape composition by Iván Sánchez. Video by: Omar Bernal.

The Tangamanga landscape composition was realised with sounds recorded at a native community near the municipality of Aquismón, located at the Huasteca Potosina, with the help of the local inhabitants and the support of the institutions FECA and CANTE from Potosí San Luis.

TANGAMANGA, a work in progress, was based on theories of Eco-Composition and the search of a more personal language, where the original sources and their process directed the composer in the development of the work.

This is the 15 minute stereo version with video by Omar Bernal. There is also a version of 40 min. and a 5.1 mix by the artist Israel M.

Iván Sanchez - composer and guitarist, has composed for bands like RADIO KAOS, EL MONOLITO, and orchestral settings such as the Choir of the Symphony Orchestra of San Luis Potosí.

At the moment Sanchez directs the Laboratorio de Arte Sonoro at CANTE as part of the Center of Arts in San Luis Potos, teaches classes in arts and culture at the ITESM and undertakes productions in his own sound studio.

At CANTE, he is involved in composition, artistic production and education, and coordinates the sonorous and electronic arts festival: TEMPO.
