Joan La Barbara - voice and electronics



(She was, and remains, the definition of bad-ass. A microphone, a mic stand, an amp, and a speaker on a chair. No room for improvement.)

badass indeed, and still feisty.
she was here in Buffalo in march - i ran lights at
a concert that one of her compositions
was being premiered at - she wasn't singing,
alas ... i ran home and
got my copy of tapesongs & got her
to autograph it.

a great record - thanks for posting it!
