Amy as Contributor
A smattering of recordings Amy is pleased to have been involved with.
Hologramatron by Barry Cleveland (2010)

Another by Herb Heinz (2004)
Amy contributed backing vocals and production assistance to this beautifully executed psycho-art-pop masterpiece. Listen or buy on CD Baby.
I Only Want Love by Hmmm… (2002)
Amy provided backing vocals and production assistance on this album of unapologetically strange songs. Hmmm… (Mark Briggs and Herb Heinz) invents audio experiences which employ radically clashing styles to instruct, confuse and sometimes offend listeners. Listen or buy on CD Baby.
Apocalypse Mañana by Guillermo Gomez-Peña & Guillermo Galindo (2002)
Music by Guillermo Galindo with cameos by Juan Ybarra, Randall Wong, Amy X Neuburg, Jennifer Ashworth and others. “Cut-up sound clouds of opera, speed metal, and urban noise — a jagged electro-ambience that converts the Hotel California into ‘la mansion de la muerte.’ ” — Josh Kun. Purchase from Calaca Press.
Failure by Herb Heinz (1998)
Amy provides backing vocals on this dark art-math-rock weirdness. Herb draws upon his interests in experimental and electronic music, surrealist cinema, musical comedy, and self-referentialism to create music which demonstrates, by example, how (not) to be. Listen or buy on CD Baby.
Improvement (Don leaves Linda) by Robert Ashley (1992)
Amy sings the role of Mrs. Payne’s mother and in the chorus in this Robert Ashley classic. A haunting and unforgettable spoken and sung opera, and an influential experience for Amy! Listen or purchase from Nonesuch.
