“From the beginning I’ve felt attracted by the way Laurie Anderson takes her androgyny for granted and the sober, natural way she embraces it, on and off the stage. In my search for things we share or perhaps things that set us apart, what became apparent was our love of reduction, of a certain simplicity. Apart,from that I realized that Anderson’s music is unrelentingly hypnotizing and comforting at the same time, like someone explaining that life doesn’t last forever, and that that’s a good thing.”
