Helen Thorington on the Experimental Intermedia Series
"I lived in the country for a number and it was while I was there that I created my first sound works for radio and dance, and began to follow in the New York Times the strange happenings at this place called the Experimental Intermedia Foundation. When I returned to New York in 1981, the EIF was one of the first places I went. It became a regular night out; and it was there I met many of the wonderful composer/musicians I later worked with. EIF remains one of the happy experiences of my 80s and 90s sound life." - Helen Thorington 2011
