Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson is a performance artists who uses a combination of her improvised story telling and autotuned music. I really like her single "O Superman". When we first listened to it in class I knew that I was going to like pretty much anything Laurie Anderson created.

When she did her live performance art pieces she used intruments that she created herself to suit her style. For example one of the instruments she created was a tape bow violin that used magnetic tape instead of horse hair. She also created a talking stick that resembled a baton but could  imitate and record a variety of different noises.
Anderson was really great for combining technology and art; electronic music.
