Laurie Anderson belongs to the musical record as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Laurie Anderson as American artist and musician (born 1947).
Laurie Anderson was born at Chicago in 1947. Her recorded nationality is United States. She trained at Barnard College and Columbia University.
Broadcast radio, the LP and the touring circuit made this the first era in which a musician could reach a mass audience without ever meeting it.
She worked as composer, singer and poet.
The instruments recorded are violin and voice.
Her work is classed as performance art.
She performed with Phi Beta Kappa Society.
Music outlives its context more reliably than any other art, and usually for reasons its makers did not predict.
Recognition followed: Rome Prize and Wolf Prize in Arts (2017).
That the work came out of United States shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
