Influences/collaborators: Andy Kaufman, William S. Burroughs, Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed, Jean-Michel JarreLaura Phillips "Laurie" Anderson (born June 5, 1947 in Glen Ellyn, IL) is an American musician, performance artist and composer who has been well known for her work in different fields of the avant-garde since the early 1970s. She played in the Chicago Youth Symphony and trained as a sculptor, and began doing performances in the 1960s and throughout the 1970s. While, understandably, not a "pop" artist, she is best known for her 1981 single, "O Superman," which hit Number 2 on the UK charts.She befriended Andy Kaufman in the late 1970s, and used to play the straight man in some of his routines, including being his opponent when he challenged women to wrestle him.After dating Lou Reed for 16 years, she was married to him from 2008 until his passing on October 27, 2013.A couple things to note: one of her most well-known albums, 1983's United States Live, was a truncated version of her prominent performance art show recorded over two nights in Brooklyn; it contains the live (pre-single) version of "O Superman" and runs for nearly four-and-a-half hours (edited down from the actual, full length live show - which was eight hours long). She's also made several shorts, as well as two feature films. First was a concert film called Home of the Brave in 1986. This was followed nearly 30 years later by the critically-acclaimed Heart of a Dog in 2015, a collage-like rumination on life, loss, and modern American surveillance shown mostly through the experiences of her beloved late rat terrier, Lolabelle. (The latter is available from The Criterion Collection, spine #846.) | |

The Cameo: She appeared on "This is the Picture (Excellent Birds)" on Peter Gabriel's So, which hit Number 2 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, making it her highest ever appearance on an American chart. (Gabriel performed on a version of the song that appeared on Anderson's album, Mister Heartbreak, released two years before So.) Provided a character voice for The Rugrats Movie. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Laurie Anderson (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Strange Angels, which reviewers have commented seems to have been her interpretation of a straightforward pop album. She actually sings far more on this album than she does on any others (to the point of taking actual singing lessons during pre-production when she felt her skills were not up to par). Although unconventional, its sound is of a piece with the kinds of albums other artists like Peter Gabriel (with whom she had previously collaborated) were putting out in The '80s. This "new sound" didn't really take and she went back in the direction of spoken word in her later career. | |

Performance Artist | |
| Laurie Anderson (Music) / int_31fd8c52 | comment |
Performance Artist: The Real Life straight female version, as, along with her music, she has presented various installations. Her concerts incorporate films and dances along with the music. One of her earliest performances, Automobile (1969), was a symphony performed on vehicle horns, and she first came to the public's attention by way of performances she'd give in which she'd play violin while wearing ice skates and standing on a block of ice; when the ice melted away, the performance ended. | |

Power Makes Your Voice Deep: She often uses a voice filter to make her speaking voice sound like that of a deep-voiced man. She used to call it the "Voice of Authority" until Lou Reed suggested he be called "Fenway Bergamot". | |

Naked First Impression | |
| Laurie Anderson (Music) / int_735b3587 | comment |
Naked First Impression: "Say Hello" was accompanied in live performance by a picture of a Pioneer Plaque, which were gold-adonised images of a naked man and woman (along with other symbols) that were affixed to the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 spacecraft as a way of identifying to any extra-terrestrials life forms where the spacecraft came from. Anderson comments of the man's gesture (hand uplifted, palm out) that it's how humans say "Goodbye", but it's also how they say "Hello", so on our planet, "Hello" looks just like "Goodbye". | |

| Laurie Anderson (Music) / int_8c00118f | comment |
Spoken Word in Music: All the time. Although she sang occasionally, and her very first single from 1977 was fully musical, it wasn't until her 1989 album Strange Angels - the recording of which was reportedly delayed so that she could take proper singing lessons - that singing became a regular part of her performances. In recent years, however, she has tended to focus on spoken word more. | |

Rearrange the Song | |
| Laurie Anderson (Music) / int_b24ce4b2 | comment |
Rearrange the Song: Happened twice with "Excellent Birds". The first instance was for the song's music video, featuring a more elaborate, electro-funk instrumentation that de-emphasized some of the more overtly avant-garde elements of the album version (this version incidentally would debut on Good Morning, Mr. Orwell before the album version released). The second time was for its inclusion on co-writer and co-vocalist Peter Gabriel's 1986 album So, which took the music video version of the song and made it even denser, orienting it more in the direction of World Music and featuring Nile Rodgers on rhythm guitar. | |
