Landfall Double Vinyl

Description

This new album is based on Laurie Anderson's personal story during Hurricane Sandy and features pieces composed by the violinist and adapted for string quartet.
Laurie Anderson, avant-garde singer and violinist from New York, has designed software that generates text from music notes.
For its part, the Kronos Quartet, a reference quartet for the American minimalist repertoire, adapts and plays with this unprecedented musical language so that computers and traditional strings completely merge.
Incorrigible innovators, Laurie Anderson and the Kronos Quartet create a captivating marriage of sound and story in the grand tradition of American minimalist music.
Two avant-garde forces both born at the dawn of the 80s, the California ensemble and the New York multimedia artist demonstrate here that their thirst for creation is far from diminished.
