Laurie Anderson

Viophonograph, 1977

The needle mounted in the bow is lowered onto the record on the turntable built onto the violin. The record consists of several tracks of violin notes and phrases. For the exhibition the instrument has been automated.

Handphone Table, 1978

Powerful drivers which compress and amplify sound are embedded in the
table. The listener can only hear the tape sound source by placing elbow in the depression of the table's surface and covering the ears. Sound is conducted from tape through driver, screw, elbow, skull. The cranial cavities effectually become speakers.

Laurie Anderson

Whirlwind, 1996
A dish eight feet in diameter fitted with forty eight speakers is suspended from the ceiling. The listener stands directly below and hears sound that is focused in the center. In "Whirlwind" the sound moves in circular as well as vertical patterns.

Wordfall, 2005

"Wordfall" is an electronic artwork that was commissioned by World Expo 2005 in Aichi, Japan. Japanese phrases are animated in a downward falling sequence on a panel. The English translations of the phrases appear to fall into an electronic pool, generating concentric waves of words. Synchronization is controlled by custom made software.

Jad Fair (Half Japanese)

I bought one of his paper cut-outs at a show a few years ago and somehow managed to lose it before I got home.

Tape-bow violin

The tape-bow violin is an instrument created by Laurie Anderson in 1977. It uses recorded magnetic tape in place of the traditional hair in the bow, and a magnetic tape head in the bridge. Anderson has updated and modified this device over the years. She can be seen using a later generation of this device in her film, Home of the Brave, during the "Late Show" segment in which she manipulates a sentence recorded by William S. Burroughs. (This version of the violin discarded magnetic tape, and actually used MIDI-based audio samples, triggered by contact with the bow.)
[edit]

Talking stick

The talking stick is a six-foot long, batonlike MIDI controller. It was used in the Moby Dick tour in 1999-2000. She described it in program notes:

The Talking Stick is a new instrument that I designed in collaboration with a team from Interval Research and Bob Bielecki. It is a wireless instrument that can access and replicate any sound. It works on the principle of granular synthesis. This is the technique of breaking sound into tiny segments, called grains, and then playing them back in different ways. The computer rearranges the sound fragments into continuous strings or random clusters which are played back in overlapping sequences to create new textures. The grains are very short, a few hundredths of a second. Granular synthesis can sound smooth or choppy depending on the size of the grain and the rate at which they’re played. The grains are like film frames. If you slow them down enough you begin to hear them separately.

I always liked Charles Manson's music.

Or, Uncle Charlie as I affectionately like to call him. Here's one of his paintings.

Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound is an amazing visual artist; easily as good as his musical side. I don't really feel like trolling the web for proof, but trust me on this one.

One can detect a bit of a Van Gogh influence there in the self-portrait, and a collaged reappropriation of Pollock in the next.
