Biofeedback artworks
Her artistic persona on this release has been described as "a Linda Ronstadt for the avant garde". She would collaborate again with Rosenboom (and percussionist William Winant) in 1979–80 on the song cycle Daytime Viewing (released 1983), which uses the framework of soap operas to deal with themes of commercialism, family, fashion, and abuse. She enjoyed a longstanding working relationship with the avant-garde opera composer Robert Ashley. She was married to composer David Rosenboom, and they were divorced in 2012.
In the 1970s Humbert created several artworks based on biofeedback devices while in the research lab of David Rosenboom at York University, Canada: Alpha Garden (1973), Brainwave Etch-A-Sketch (1974) and Chilean Drought (Rosenboom & Humbert, 1974).
