There's a timeless quality to Laurie Anderson 's experimental '80s synth music that continues to inspires many (electronic) artists up until today. The lush and dream-like sonics of her work also makes it ideal material for remixing and sampling. Beatmaster Dan "The Automator" Nakamura put his crafty hands on Anderson's sublime " From The Air " and turned up the drama of the original with heavier, hip-hop based beats and new synth effects that replace the horn-like sounds of the original. The San Francisco-based DJ is considered [...]
A month ago I wrote about the 25th anniversary edition of Laurie Anderson's Big Science album. A classic bit of experimental pop art, the album opens with the song From The Air, which is about planes falling from the sky. Dan The Automator has done a remix of the song. Art pop + hip hop = good. From The Air (Dan The Automator Remix) Good evening. This is your Captain. We are about to attempt a

This is the time. And this is the record of the time. Today brings the release of the re-mastered 25th anniversary edition of Laurie Anderson's debut LP Big Science. I lived in the UK when this came out and I can remember how amazed I was that O Superman almost topped the UK charts (it got to #2) - all 8 minutes (!) of it, with it's bizarre repetition and vocodered vocal samples and sounds. It

Putin visits Bush , AllofMP3 gets permanently shut down (until someone puts another quarter in that Whac-a-Mole) and Scooter Libby gets out of jail . We have so much to learn from each other!
Big Science is a classic. When this Laurie Anderson album was first released in 1982 people were lost for words in trying to describe its contents. A year before that the single O Superman was a surpise hit in the UK, reaching number #2 in the charts. There had been electronic music in the charts before, most notably German pioneers Kraftwerk , but Laurie Anderson was the first avant-garde artist to become a success outside the art world. People bought in droves. And now there is a 25th [...]
Photo credit: Rockstro Somewhere in between vocal and instrumental music there is music that simply uses spoken word. Often they tell a complete story - whether or not in some sort of poetry art form - or they simply use spoken word for sound effects. With music that includes singing you can sort of drift away with the sounds and melodies without ever paying real attention to the lyrics. But when there are only spoken words you can no longer escape from the meaning of those words. They are simply too upfront and outspoken [...]

I have been wanting an excuse to post this masterpiece of surreal New Wave - Art Rock since I started this blog. Laurie Anderson is an American performance artist and composer. Her work has incorporated graphics, lighting, sculpture, mime, slides, film, speech, music and many electronics, some of her own design. By 1976, her performances were featured prominently in museums and concert venues across Europe and North America. O Superman was released in 1981 and was a suprise crossover hit, reaching number 2 in the British charts. I came across this amazing record somewhat [...]
Ages ago I posted a lovely 1980's song by Laurie Anderson called O Superman. M.A.N.D.Y. vs Booka Shade have actually made their remix of it less minimal than the original was, that's saying something for the minimal maestros. Here's the original and their mix. Laurie Anderson - Oh Superman M.A.N.D.Y. vs Booka [...]
I'm always interested in the fine line between what is considered musical expression and what is considered noise. I consider it a very fine line, indeed. You can point to something like Hendrix's audio pyrotechnics or the soundscapes of Trent Reznor. Some Eastern musical instruments sound like a bunch of noise to Western ears. Or you can start with something very musical, such as the human voice, and do things to it. Slow it down, speed it up. Phase shifting, compression. For example, if you utilize a vocoder, at [...]
Perfection. And a field a photo resonates in passing. As orchids numerate, [square land] setting stems writhe into lyrics, moving pictures. Abstraction undermines an eye’s permission to clash detail branching vegetation, harmonial inheritance. A petal fuses the fringed purple breaths, [...]
