Saw Laurie Anderson (singer, violinist, composer, photographer, film-maker and occasional ventriloquist(!)) in Salisbury last night. A really simple show, just spoken word and violin/fx with a bit of laptop backing, but so well done. She has a unique ability to take seemingly innocuous situations and phrases and draw out of them universal themes and questions. Can't decide whether that's a Digitech or Eventide processor on her violin. Maybe several of both. Inspiring. Think I'll be on a creative high for the next couple of weeks.
