She is completely brilliant. The thing that struck me most, seeing her live, was the sound effects mixing on the fly. It was gorgeous. I had always assumed that most of that had to be done while mixing an album and it was so interesting to see her talking while turning buttons and pedals and playing keyboards. I was thinking (lest you missed the upcoming TMDR connection) that it must have been similar watching the "40" sessions. I am fascinated. - -- ______________________________________________________________________ Dr. Barbara Cohen, lunatic bcohen@higp.hawaii.edu Hawaii Institute of Geophysics & Planetology (808) 956-3901 (office) University of Hawaii at Manoa (808) 956-6322 (fax) Honolulu, HI 96822 http://www.higp.hawaii.edu/~bcohen/ ______________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2002 20:13:17 -0800 (PST) From: Robin Thurlow Subject: Re: Alloy: Laurie Anderson This fascinates me too! She's like a one-person, very well rehearsed orchestra. She adjusts these things to her liking so fluidly it's like breathing air to her, probably. It makes me think it must have been very much the same watching Thomas in his days as a one-man show, getting things synchronised with all the equipment (which wasn't anything like what Laurie Anderson has available to her) I will *always* wish I could have witnessed Thomas in performance juggling all that crazyquilt technology he was working with then. I was lucky enough to see Laurie Anderson several years ago at a small theater at Harvard University & I loved it. It was also amazing to me how many people were dressed in "80s" regalia.. it made it seem like some sort of cult gathering! xxxx Robin T Barbara Cohen wrote: The thing that struck me most, seeing her live, was the sound effects mixing on the fly.
