Laurie Anderson is a true icon of modern music, creating a sound unlike any other that brings together cultural observations, acute humor and ambient textures. She is the poet laureate of the digital age, the first digital diva. In the 1970s she virtually defined the concept of performance art and her song, ”O Superman”, was a fluke hit in the UK in 1981. Her debut album, Big Science, remains a signature, and oft referenced work. Following the death of her husband, rock musician Lou Reed in 2013, Anderson is hitting a new period of creativity with large scale works like Landfall, Habeas Corpus and her new album, and film, Heart of a Dog.

Wow…I dozed on the couch with the radio on and I just woke up from the most intense guided meditation-like experience throughout Laurie Anderson’s interview and the following song Dreams (well, I now know what I was listening to once I looked up what program was on the radio!). Thank you!
I was driving home on I-95 from the Thanksgiving holiday when I came across this unique music station. They were playing something from a Norweigian band called Green Isac Orchestra. I don’t remember the name of the song, and I don’t see it listed here, but I loved it.
Glad you enjoyed the show. Here’s a link to the playlist you heard, with Green Isac Orchestra on it: https://echoes.org/2015/11/24/tuesday-november-24th-2015-echoes-program-1547b/
