	Newband Plays Microtonal Works (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Cage, LaBarbara and Drummond works were composed for the group.
		Newband is a new music ensemble dedicated to an instrument that goes by the unlikely name of the zoomoozophone, "a percussion instrument consisting of 129 aluminum tubes tuned to a 31-note scale in just intonation." Built in 1978 by Dean Drummond, a former associate of Harry Partch, its striking overtones give it unique properties.
		Joan La Barbara's "Silent Scroll" features a string bass mimicking and answering her trills, screeches, and melodic statements.

	Messa di Voce - Tmema / Blonk / La Barbara
		The performers adopt complementary roles: Joan, as a peculiar kind of animal; and Jaap, as an abstract narrator.
		Joan La Barbara [CV] has been called one of the great vocal virtuosas of our time.
		A pioneer in the field of contemporary and sound art, she has developed a unique vocabulary of experimental and extended vocal techniques, including multiphonics, circular singing, ululation and glottal clicks.

	Avantgarde Music. Joan LaBarbara: biography, discography, reviews, links
		Cresciuta alla severa scuola di Steve Reich, LaBarbara adotta nuove tecniche vocali, basate su un controllo particolare del respiro e delle corde vocali, sull'emissione simultanea di piu' note, e sulla simulazione degli strumenti a fiato; tecniche di cui fa sfoggio sull'album-ricerca Voice Is The Original Instrument.
		I respiri di LaBarbara sembrano in effetti vivere al di fuori del suo corpo, un'illusione dovuta in parte a caleidoscopiche variazioni di registro e in parte alle manipolazioni elettroniche.
		Il canto di LaBarbara diventa l'analogo musicale del flusso di coscienza: fluttua liberamente in uno spazio di contesto.

	Patty Waters - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Largely overlooked during her brief recording career in the mid-'60s, Patty Waters has come to be appreciated as a vocal innovator in not just jazz, but contemporary music as a whole.
		What really attracted attention were her avant-garde outings, in which she stretched and mutated her voice with contorted shrieks and wails that could be downright blood-curdling.
		Producing an unsettling effect that is definitely not for everybody, Waters has to be acknowledged as a vocalist who has tested the limits of what the human voice is capable of, in a similar manner as fellow pioneers Joan LaBarbara and Yoko Ono.

	selected reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		"(Garcia's) static, yet feverishly pulsating elegy, interpreted softly and impressively by Joan LaBarbara, to verses by the composer, may have very well been influenced in their essence by Morton Feldman.
		What relayed a minimalistic character at the onset, soon grew to a fretful threat containing a serious social-political message beyond its musical terse and sincerity" Hans-Theodor Wohlfahrt Allgemeine Zeitung Frankfurter 6/90.
		"(LaBarbara's) superbly executed gentle cantillations with minimum pitch changes, gossamer ins-trumental textures and leisurely pace were so at odds with the angry text that a kind of reverse irony developed carrying unexpected power." Herman Trotter Buffalo News 4/90.

		Its exploration of the sound and texture possibilities of electronic music is simply a variation on the two previous, and finer, compositions.
		Jacob's Room is a vehicle for Subotnick's wife, Joan LaBarbara to demonstrate why she is universally considered the master of extended vocal techniques.
		She leaps effortlessly from beautiful operatic tonality to microtonal notes and the gutteral animal noises requires an impressive control and technique.

	Ne(x)tworks May 28 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Inspired by the striking contradictions of Abe's abstract yet vivid imagery and text that is at turns comic, bleak, romantic, tragic, and hopeful, the work is a blend of both traditional and avant-garde vocal techniques, freely improvisational and strictly minimalist textures, an economy of movement and staging and yet an extremity of emotional expression.
		With a libretto by writer/singer/actor William Youmans and performances by groundbreaking vocalist Joan LaBarbara and innovative music group Ne(x)tworks, this work is a collaborative event that will suggest a new definition for the term opera while drawing on the rich tradition of the genre as well as each performer's unique musical background.
		Ne(x)tworks is a boundary-breaking group of performing composers generating totally original avant-garde music.

		Their debut album, Original Instrument (Kracfive, 2002), is a series of electronic/digital manipulations of the human voice in the tradition of Joan LaBarbara and Diamanda Galas.
		Coupled with massive distortions and spun around percussive noises, they become collages reminiscent of Oval's glitch-music but with a stronger rhythmic element (Bop Me, Nake).

		Those who like free improv with a female voice as an equal instrument would do well to explore this very tangible outfit.
		Ditto for those who appreciate the classical talents of Lucy Shelton, Bethany Beardslee or Joan LaBarbara in an improvisatory setting.
		The track sequencing is well done, too, building to the never-retreating building up in “attack and retreat” of voice and sax arm-wrestling for power, piano underpinning the struggle.
