Besides using her voice and analog electronics, Barbara loves collecting sounds, inventing sound textures and non-linear storytelling. In 2009 she published as a soloist Anti-Gone, a concept album inspired by the figure of Antigone. In the same year she began a collaboration with canadian cellist Julia Kent : Parallel41 a musical/visual/improvisatory project published in 2012 by the french label Baskaru. Her sound works include Whimsical Cartography -in commemoration of the earthquake in Irpinia; Re_di_Sound , a tribute to Marcel Duchamp (Call for Revolutionary Sounds) and Crossings for Radia Network (Radio Papesse).
She has also curated a series of podcasts entitled "The Cat Cinderella" with the aim of promoting the dissemination of works by women artists on the brink between net_art, sound art
and audio documentary. At the end of 2012 she started to collaborate with french visual artist Aude Francois: they conceived Self Made Worlds a performance for voice, electronics, and visual explorations [liberally adapted from ”House of Incest” by Anaïs Nin]: a dialogue between the organic body depicted in video and the sounds and voices present on the stage. Her new solo album Body Maps {out on december 16th 2022 on Folderol Records} has been inspired by Jean Luc Nancy’s Corpus. A blend of spoken word, electroacoustic textures and instruments, found sounds and voice; these tracks evolved from a series of improvised recording sessions held in Italy between 2018 and 2021. Barbara is working on a new project making use if rediscovered private memories [old photographs, letters from strangers, sounds of objects no longer in use, semi-forgotten nursery rhymes, etc] .
