NOTHING IN MY POCKETS

Nothing In My Pockets was originally a sound diary conceived for French radio and was kept between July 4th and October 4th, 2003. In that new and innovative experimentation, Laurie Anderson unfolded her daily life as an artist, microwaved it and presented herself as more than a diarist: she became the electronic sound architect of her own existence. The sound diary that Laurie Anderson presents here (2 CD) also offers unpublished visual documents through the pages of a book. The opportunity is for an intimate journey into the personal universe of the artist through a series of daily leaps: from her New York studio in Tribeca to the numerous travels and landscapes she crossed over the whole three month period.

American multimedia artist and musician Laurie Anderson (born 1947 in Glenn Ellyn, Illinois) is an essential figure of the New York artistic scene since the early 80’s.
