Joan La Barbara is a long recognized pioneer of extended vocal techniques and a champion of new music. She emerged from the New York Downtown scene to perform in the ensembles of Steve Reich and Philip Glass, including the premiere of Glass’ Einstein on the Beach. She has performed and recorded works by composers including John Cage, Robert Ashley, Morton Feldman, Philip Glass, Alvin Lucier, and Morton Subotnick.Composer/Vocalist La Barbara has created a rich body of experimental works, many initially produced on analog tape. This collection includes a first release of the award-winning CYCLONE, first presented at the ISCM World Music Days festival in Bonn, Germany in 1977. The other two works were initially issued on LP on the Wizard label, but now in new mixes. For this release, fresh 96khz/24-bit transfers were made from the original multi-track analog tapes. Then all new stereo and surround mixes were created under the supervision of the composer.
The stereo soundtrack is presented in uncompressed 24-bit PCM audio.
The surround versions are presented in 24-bit 5.1 Surround Dolby TrueHD and DTSHD
Master Audio.
NOTE: this is a high-quality audio Bluray. There is no video with the music.
