Laurie Anderson's songs of duality
Manage episode 408206966 series 2610854
Laurie Anderson is bucket list. The artist, violinist, and poet has been exploring the world in her unique way for decades. She caught our breath releasing O Superman, and has continued to bring play, humour, and curiosity into all she does.
Laurie was also the yin to Lou Reed’s yang, as a life and creative partner; putting on concerts for dogs, and most recently feeding her and his writing into a supercomputer to see what AI would spit out, in their voice.
That was the catalyst for me asking Laurie to Take 5; and her work in AI as an artist over the past few years explores all the questions we’re having today about machine learning. Settle in, this is such a poetic conversation, full of great wisdom and plenty of laughs as well. I loved speaking with Laurie about music, and loved how much she embraced the theme I gave her, of duality. From Marianne Faithfull to Maggie Rogers, this is an extraordinary conversation with an all time great.
- Marianne Faithful – Falling in Love Again
- Ornette Coleman – Lonely Woman
- Lou Reed – Magic And Loss (The Summation)
- Bob Dylan – Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright
- Maggie Rogers – Alaska
