Joan La Barbara - Autumn Signal

''Autumn Signal was my first "soundance". Inspired by the shifting words of Emmett Williams' textwork "Sweethearts" and the multiple viewpoints of Merce Cunningham's choreography, I used the Buchla synthesizer to alter my own text and to spatially locate and move sounds in space. Adding a live vocal part over the tape, I premiered the work in concert, for Walter Bachauer's multicultural Metamusik Festival in Berlin'' (liner notes by Joan La Barbara).
