Virtuoso vocalist Joan La Barbara has explored the possibilities of voice and extended techniques such as multiphonics and glottal clicks since the '70s. She has performed with orchestras all over the world, from the New York Philharmonic to the Orchestra of the Hague, and has premiered operas including Robert Ashley's Now Eleanor's Idea and Jacob's Room by Morton Subotnick, the latter with whom La Barbara co-wrote The Misfortune of the Immortals. This piece (also co-written by Mark Coniglio) is an example of her work melding electronics and technology into performance. As a composer, she has also written chamber pieces and works for radio, television, and a number of film scores including the score for Anima (1991). ~ Joslyn Layne
Joan La Barbara has also released music as a member of Ne(x)tworks.
