Multiple images, glimpses of old films, abstract images in the midst of an electro-acoustic sound field of tape loops & analogue synthesizers
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.

Joan La Barbara presents works exploring the colour spectrum of a single pitch resonating in her skull, an evocation of bird song and circular singing.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
