Laurie Anderson’s Amelia comprises twenty-two tracks about renowned female aviator Amelia Earhart’s tragic last flight. Anderson wrote the music and lyrics for this subjective narrative piece. On the album, she is joined by the Czech orchestra Filharmonie Brno, conducted by Dennis Russell Davies, and Anohni, Gabriel Cabezas, Rob Moose, Ryan Kelly, Martha Mooke, Marc Ribot, Tony Scherr, Nadia Sirota, and Kenny Wollesen. “I spend a lot of time in the studio by myself doing stuff ... with a bunch of instrument panels, and I felt like I was making something that was gonna go somewhere somehow, so I had a feel for her,” Anderson tells author and journalist Jonathan Cott in a conversation about the project and her connection to Earhart. You can see what else she had to say in that conversation and one with Dennis Russell Davies, as well as archival photographs and film, and songs from the album, in this video on the making of Amelia, made by Robert Edridge-Waks.
