Singer/avant-garde vocalist Joan La Barbara is well known for her interpretations and recordings of music by Cage, Feldman, Lucier, Glass and Subotnick — to name a few. La Barbara is also a very active composer, and this release features 3 of her early multichannel tape experiments.

Joan La Barbara’s early creative work (early to mid 1970s) focuses on experimentation and investigation of vocal sound as raw sonic material including works that explore varied timbres on a single pitch, circular breathing techniques inspired by horn players, and multiphonic or chordal singing. In the mid 1970s, she began creating more structured compositional works, some of which include electronics and layered voice sounds.

For this release, new 96 khz/24-bit transfers were made of the original analog tapes, which were then remixed with the composer. A major work of 30 minutes, CYCLONE is released here for the first time, the other two having been released on LP in different mixes.
