Page "Laurie Anderson" Paragraph 1

Anderson is a pioneer in electronic music and has invented several devices that she has used in her recordings and performance art shows.

In 1977, she created a tape-bow violin that uses recorded magnetic tape on the bow instead of horsehair and a magnetic tape head in the bridge.

In the late 1990s, she developed a talking stick, a six-foot-long baton-like MIDI controller that can access and replicate sounds.
