Pasamos de LAURIE SPIEGEL a LAURIE ANDERSON. El nombre de LAURIE quedará marcado a fuego en la historia del Medio Musical Electrónico.
Al grano...
Buscando material por Soulseek, me he topado con esta recopilación no oficial de trabajos de LAURIE ANDERSON. No consta sello alguno, ni portada, ni aparece en San Discogs. Sea como fuere es un buen puñado de material de coleccionista de la artista estadounidense, anterior a la explosión de "O SUPERMAN" y del inolvidable "HOME OF THE BRAVE". La lástima es la calidad del ripeo, pero seguiremos buscando a ver si encontramos mejores digitalizaciones de esta compilación.
Recordemos que Laurie Anderson nació el 5 de junio de 1947 en Glen Ellyn, Illinois, Estados Unidos. Cantante, violinista, poetisa, dibujante y artista experimental de performance, en los que combina música minimalista, diapositivas y reflexiones irónicas sobre el lenguaje, la política norteamericana, el rol de los sexos y la civilización occidental moderna en su conjunto.
Ha inventado varios instrumentos, entre ellos el violín de arco de cinta, el cual tiene un cabezal magnético en lugar de cuerdas y una cinta de audio en lugar de las cerdas del arco, y un traje con sensores que disparan diversos sonidos de batería electrónica.
Estuvo casada con el cantante Lou Reed hasta la muerte del músico el 27 de octubre del 2013.
El trabajo de Laurie Anderson se aproxima a la crítca política y social pero sin determinar una línea explícita de decisiones a tomar frente a la obra, se nos presenta como una mixtura de diferentes expresiones artísticas y medios. Sin embargo es una crítica con carácter, ella nos puede explicar y determinar cada uno de los mensajes, pero también nos dice que son ambivalentes.
Disfrutad con LAURIE ANDERSON...

Your women in electronic music posts have been exceptionally varied and detailed - one of the best surveys I have ever seen a blog undertake in fact. I still remember being about 11 or 12 here in the UK and buying O Superman and loving the b-side Walk The Dog as much as the a-side - the fact that it went to number one here in the UK (and presumably elsewhere) is a real testament to the diversity of the musical imagination at the time (I think people who file it under the 'novelty' tag really miss the point, namely, a song has to resonate at a mass level to sell as much as it did).
ReplyDeleteThis is such an incredible collection of tracks - well worth a download for anyone with even a passing interest in electronic music.
Thanks for posting this. I've been looking everywhere for the tracks from "The Record Of The Time". Could you post the other two tracks from that one?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the version of "Walk The Dog" you posted is the version from "United States Live". I have the version from the O Superman B-side if you want it, it's quite different.
Thanks for posting Laurie Anderson! Does anyone have her United States LIVE? I can request :-)
ReplyDeleteMany, many thanks! Ausgezeichnet!
