Voice Is The Original Instrument

Voice Is The Original Instrument to niemal ikona w eksperymantalnej muzyce wokalnej.

Po 40 latach doczekalismy się na winylowe wznowienie tego krążka.

Voice Is The Original Instrument is the first of two crucial Joan La Barbara reissues incoming this spring on Arc Light Editions. It was the first record released by Joan La Barbara in 1976, and has since become iconic as one of the initial examples of extended vocal techniques in experimental music. The human voice is the only instrument on the recordings, which were made live at the University Art Museum in Berkeley, CA.

Recorded in concert at University Art Museum, Berkeley, California, February 26, 1976.

Originally released on LP in 1976 on Wizard Records.
