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.

Colin Fisher - Eternity

Soundtrack to the screenprinted book by Erik Ruin. Music composed by Julius Masri.
A Threnody for the Dispossessed is a sixty-foot long screen-printed scroll/accordion-book that impressionistically interweaves the experiences of people displaced by war in the Middle East, Europe and Latin America. Images and experiences flow freely into another, the trails of tear gas morphing into the mists of limbo. A "wailing ode", a chorus of voices drawn from historical accounts and contemporary interviews accompanies the book, part of an original score  by multi-instrumentalist Julius Masri.
