Laurie Anderson

Bran is joined by Laurie Anderson, a legendary avant-garde artist, musician, and filmmaker who has been a leading force in multimedia performance for over five decades. Originally trained in violin and sculpture, she became a fixture of the 1970s New York experimental scene before achieving unexpected global fame with her 1981 hit "O Superman," which reached number two on the UK charts. Throughout her career, Anderson has blurred the lines between high art and popular culture, casting herself as a storyteller who uses everything from electronics and visual imagery to poetry and photography to explore the human experience. As a pioneer of electronic music, Anderson is well-known for inventing her own instruments, such as the tape-bow violin and the talking stick, which she uses to manipulate sound and language in real-time. Her vast body of work includes ambitious stage productions like "United States I–IV", the acclaimed 1986 concert film "Home of the Brave", and the award-winning 2015 documentary "Heart of a Dog". From serving as NASA's first artist-in-residence to receiving a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 2024, Anderson continues to push the boundaries of creative expression through technology, AI, and social commentary.

Laurie Anderson leads a meditation on death and rebirth, guiding you through the Buddhist understanding of death, the bardo, and a joyous rebirth. These tracks come from Songs from the Bardo, an album inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Meditating on death is a powerful Buddhist practice that enhances gratitude, helps you embrace impermanence, and increases mindfulness. Laurie Anderson is one of our greatest living artists. Her work includes spoken word and performance, top-charting albums and music videos, digital art, film, virtual reality, and the invention of ingenious instruments like the tape bow violin and the talking stick. She’s won the Grammy Award and many other honors, and is currently the subject of a fantastic solo show at the Hirschhorn Museum in Washington, D.C.

Hello Talkhouse listeners! Instead of new episode this week, we've revisiting a great chat from several years back between artist/musician/many other things Laurie Anderson and filmmaker Darren Aronofsky ( Pi , Black Swan , The Whale , etc.). The reason? Anderson has a new album out in a couple of weeks called Amelia , and it's all about famed aviator Amelia Earhart. If that sounds odd, it probably is, and in the best ways: Anything Anderson touches is worth your time. We'll be back next week with a new episode. Enjoy! Note: This episode originally aired on January 26, 2016. On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Film podcast, in a special conversation recorded after a screening of Laurie Anderson's documentary Heart of a Dog , the acclaimed musician, artist, and filmmaker talks onstage with fellow New York director Darren Aronofsky, best known for his films Pi , Requiem for a Dream and Black Swan . The pair discuss Anderson's new film, which ponders questions of love, death, and language, and touch on such other diverse subjects as Herman Melville's discussions with his editor about Moby Dick and the problems that can come from putting batteries in one's mouth.

From her garage gym in McKinney, Laurie Anderson is helping others achieve their fitness goals, even those they once deemed unattainable. If you've faced challenges maintaining fitness or are curious about incorporating exercise into aging gracefully, this episode is for you. According to Forbes, nearly half of all New Year’s resolutions focus on improving fitness. However, by April 1st, over half of these resolutions have already been broken, with only a mere 6% of people staying committed to their goals. Despite our best intentions, why do we often give up? Fitness is an ongoing journey without an age limit. It's not something to abandon or dismiss as we grow older. Like many worthwhile pursuits, consistency and perseverance are vital. Yet, sometimes, we require support and guidance along the way. We need advocates to join us in the trenches and lead us forward. Great people like Laurie Anderson, who is enabling people to accomplish feats they once deemed impossible.

This week, Shane Harris talks with pioneering multi-media artist Laurie Anderson. A retrospective of her work, called “The Weather,” is currently showing at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC. Several of Anderson’s works explore themes of security, terrorism, and surveillance. Her piece “Habeas Corpus” is a monumental scale video and sculpture installation about Mohammed el Gharani, who was imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay for seven years. Anderson talks about her life in New York during the pandemic, her creative influences, and the surprising ways that her storytelling intersects with national security. For instance, her biggest musical hit, “O Superman,” was inspired by the Iran hostage crisis. Chatter is a production of Lawfare and Goat Rodeo. This episode was produced and edited by Cara Shillenn of Goat Rodeo, with engineering assistance from Ian Enright. Podcast theme by David Priess, featuring music created using Groovepad.
