I love the Internet. You can stumble upon
the most wonderful and unexpected
things. Like this, for instance, from an interview that appeared in
Forced
Exposure #15...

DIAMANDA GALAS: Yeah. I'm not interested in developing a lexicon of
vocal
sounds for the 80s or 90s. My work really comes more from Ayler and
Ornette
and Coltrane. Meditations is a beautiful record. And I used to play in
a band
in Pomona with Stanley Crouch and Butch Morris and David Murray and
Mark
Dresser and all those guys. In 1974.

No comment necessary, I'm guessing.

NP - Company, live in NYC 1983 (cd-r)
(... trying to figure out who's who on here and suspecting that
Diamanda was
the vocalist, thus the web
search...)
If its
from the shows I saw at the Shambala loft in 83,it's Joelle Leandre
singing and playing contrabass, Brotzman on Sax, Ernst Reyseiger on
cello, Gerry Hemingway on drums, Hugh Davies on electronics, along
with Derek.
