Voice Is The Original Instrument was the first record released by Joan La Barbara in 1976 on Wizard Records. This is the first time the original LP, with artwork, has been made available again. It 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. The works on Voice is the Original Instrument were some of Joan's earliest compositions, researching the possibilities of the voice, in two rigorous études, "Circular Song" and "Voice Piece: One-Note Internal Resonance Investigation", and the more free-form "Vocal Extensions", which uses live electronic processing. "My reason for producing the LP was to get my music out to the world beyond NYC and the major cities in which I was playing concerts," she says. "At that time, Carla Bley and Michael Mantler had started JCOA/New Music Distribution Service which handled small independent labels, so there were quite a few artists in the NYC area who were producing their own albums and distributing them through that service." Just out of college and living in a Soho loft in New York, Joan began playing shows in New York with jazz and rock musicians, and with those in the new music scene. "I did commercials, which, strangely enough, led me to Steve Reich," she says. "A composer I was working with, Michael Sahl hired me to do some radio commercials and suggested me to Reich who was looking for singers who could imitate instruments, which was something I had been working on for some time and was part of my exploration of the voice. I worked with Reich on the development of "Drumming", imitating the marimba."

Fast charger
Style: Qi2 Charging Mount
Simple to install. Holds tightly and has enough adjustment flexibility to get your phone positioned the way you want it. Fast charger and mag holds tightly. Only downside is where to plug in the charging cord. But that would be a problem with any external charger.

charger works, not the adhesive on the ring.
Style: Qi2 Charging Mount
The metal ring adhesive was destroyed by the unit's heat in a few weeks. Do not buy it if you need the adhesive ring to hold the phone. The blinking light ring is annoying - why is it needed.

LOVE this Charger!
Style: Qi2 Charging Mount
This is one of the best chargers I have ever had! My phone stopped charging via the cord and this was my solution and what a awesome one it is! It charges very fast! I also LOVE the way it looks attached to my Tesla screen. Its like having a second screen. I can do Waze on one screen and Tesla navigation on the main screen. I can also control Sirius XM without having to subscribe to it separately for my tesla - which by the way is ridiculous if you already have a subscription…just make sure you done have Allstate DriveWise or other haptics that track weather you’re using your iphone while driving.

Nice Phone mount
Great phone mount—stable, easy to use, and gets the job done!
I’ve been using this phone mount for a few weeks now, and it’s exceeded my expectations. It holds my phone securely, even on bumpy roads, and the adjustable arm makes it super easy to get the right angle. Installation was a breeze—took less than 2 minutes. The grip is strong without scratching the phone, and it feels sturdy overall. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable mount!
