Live In New York (Laurie Anderson)
''Live in New York'' is a live album by performance artist Laurie Anderson released as a double-CD by Nonesuch Records in 2002. The album cover reads ''Laurie Anderson Live at Town Hall New York City September 19–20, 2001''. Recorded soon after the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York City, the album was produced during Anderson's tour of the United States featuring a mix of pieces from earlier in her career and newer works. Following so close to the attacks, Anderson makes several statements about them in her recognizable style. The performance is highlighted by a rendition of "O Superman," the song that launched Anderson to stardom in 1981, with lyrics that offered new resonance following the attacks. The song "Progress" is a retitled performance of "The Dream Before" which Anderson debuted in her 1986 short film ''What You Mean We?'' and later featured on '' Strange Angels''. The original release of the album included an insert with a short piece written by Anderson ab ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Strange Angels (Laurie Anderson Album)
''Strange Angels'' is the fifth album overall and fourth studio album by performance artist and singer Laurie Anderson, released by Warner Bros. Records in 1989. With this release, Anderson attempted to move away from her previous image as a performance artist into a more musical realm. Although music had always been part of her performance, it was never brought to the fore as much as it was on ''Strange Angels''. Anderson did more singing on this album than she did on previous albums. As a result, completion of this album was delayed for nearly a year when Anderson decided that she needed to take singing lessons; in the process she discovered that she was a soprano. The album includes contributions from vocal artist Bobby McFerrin. Its cover photo was shot by Robert Mapplethorpe, who died several months before the album's release. One of the songs on this album, "The Dream Before" (also known as "Hansel and Gretel Are Alive and Well") had been introduced several years earlier in ...

What You Mean We?
''What You Mean We?'' is a 1986 American made-for-television musical short film starring the performance artist Laurie Anderson, who also wrote and directed the piece. Overview Originally produced as a segment of the PBS arts series ''Alive from Off Center'', the film runs a little less than a half-hour and is broken into several segments. The film begins with Anderson being interviewed on a faux talk show (the interviewer's voice is provided by Spalding Gray), talking about how her popularity and workload has become too much for one person to handle. So, after speaking to some scientists, she has cloned herself. The Clone is introduced: due to some complications in the process, however, the Clone is only about half the size of Anderson, and has distinctive male characteristics (like a mustache) and an electronically distorted voice. Anderson plays a dual role as the Clone, and the voice distortion she uses is the same as that which she often used in her early 1980s performance ...

O Superman
"O Superman", also known as "O Superman (For Massenet)", is a 1981 song by performance artist and musician Laurie Anderson. The song became a surprise hit in the United Kingdom after it was championed by DJ John Peel, rising to #2 on the UK Singles Charts in 1981. Prior to the success of this song, Anderson was little known outside the art world. First released as a single, the song also appeared on her debut album '' Big Science'' (1982) and as part of her live album ''United States Live'' (1984). The song topped the 1981 ''The Village Voice'' Pazz & Jop singles poll. Structure In writing the song, Anderson drew from the aria "Ô Souverain, ô juge, ô père" (O Sovereign, O Judge, O Father) from Jules Massenet's 1885 opera ''Le Cid''. She got the idea after seeing the aria performed in concert by American tenor Charles Holland. The first lines ("O Superman / O Judge / O Mom and Dad") especially echo the original aria ("Ô Souverain / ô juge / ô père"). Susan McClary suggests ...
