Laurie Anderson is an American performance artist and composer, born on June 5, 1947 in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. Although she initially trained in the visual arts, her work incorporates a wide range of mediums including graphics, lighting, sculpture, mime, film, speech, music and electronics. By 1976, her performances were featured prominently in museums and concert venues across Europe and North America. Anderson's unique performances draw elements from storytelling, theatre, dance and popular entertainment.

In 1981, Anderson achieved unexpected crossover success with her single "O Superman," which reached number two on the British pop charts. This brought her a level of fame usually unavailable to avant-garde artists. Throughout her career, she has blended autobiographical and historical elements to create an idiosyncratic collection of words, sounds and images downloaded from various social archives.

Anderson's innovative approach to artistry has earned her greater visibility than most composers of her generation. Her work has influenced a diverse range of artists such as Meredith Monk and Brian Eno. She continues to push boundaries in the world of performance art.

Back In Stock

Five years after the release of 1989’s pop-oriented album Strange Angels, Laurie Anderson followed up with the avant-garde concept album Bright Red, a Brian Eno production exploring much darker territory. Eno also co-wrote four tracks; “The Puppet Motel”, “Muddy River”, “Poison” and “Tightrope”. For the recordings, Anderson was supported by Adrian Belew, who provided guitars on several tracks. Belew is best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist of King Crimson.

During the time of the recording of Bright Red, Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed just started dating. They collaborated on a number of recordings together, including the duet “In Our Sleep”, that is featured on Bright Red.
