Joan La Barbara - Twelvesong

Complete album:    • Joan La Barbara — Voice is the Original In...   " 'Twelvesong' was commissioned by and recorded at Radio Bremen, produced by Hans Otte. It was the first of my 'sound paintings', a sonic fabric which reveals itself over its twelve minute duration much as a painting is experienced: one takes in the whole and gradually, over time, notices more intricate detail. I placed the sounds onto tape much as a painter adds certain colors, gestures and strokes. I experience much of my vocal material visually before and as I produce the sounds, and many of my scores consist of or contain graphic elements'' (CD liner notes by Joan La Barbara). .................................................................................. *For an organized overview of JLB's work, please check    • Joan La Barbara - Rarities      • Playlist      • Joan La Barbara - Albums   I do not own any copyright.
