Laurie Anderson is on the latest episode of the Talk Art podcast to talk with hosts Russell Tovey and Robert Diament about her music and art. "She's just constantly inspired and constantly experimenting and expressing all these things throughout her work—beauty, time, reality, memory," says Tovey. "She does that constantly, and that is why I think she's such an important, critical artist." You can hear their conversation here:

Laurie Anderson's NPR Tiny Desk (Home) Concert premiered yesterday and can be seen here. The set featured songs from her 1982 debut album, Big Science, which returned to vinyl for the first time in thirty years with a new red vinyl edition, released April 9 on Nonesuch Records. The album foresaw the future, mixing performance art, pop, and electronics, most hauntingly on the hit single, "O Superman." "It's worth considering how readily Big Science stands alone, untethered from time and place," says Uncut. "And how, over the course of its near-40-year existence, it has been a record that has come to acquire new resonance with each generation, now standing as one of the most influential albums of the past four decades."

    David Longstreth’s Song of the Earth, a song cycle for orchestra and voices, is due April 4. Performed by Longstreth with his band Dirty Projectors—Felicia Douglass, Maia Friedman, Olga Bell—and the Berlin-based chamber orchestra s t a r g a z e, conducted by André de Ridder, the album also features Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie), Steve Lacy, Patrick Shiroishi, Anastasia Coope, Tim Bernardes, Ayoni, Portraits of Tracy, and the author David Wallace-Wells. Longstreth says that while Song of the Earth—his biggest-yet foray into the field of concert music—"is not a ‘climate change opera,’” he wanted to “find something beyond sadness: beauty spiked with damage. Acknowledgement flecked with hope, irony, humor, rage.”

Steve Reich and Musicians gave the world premiere performance of Drumming at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC in December 1971. Their 1987 Nonesuch recording is included in the forthcoming Steve Reich Collected Works, a twenty-seven disc box set, due March 14.
