about this album
Laurie Anderson and Kronos Quartet’s Landfall was inspired by Anderson’s experience of Hurricane Sandy. It juxtaposes electronics and strings with Anderson’s descriptions of loss, from water-logged pianos to disappearing animal species to Dutch karaoke bars. The original multimedia stage production also included projected text that was triggered by the live instruments through Erst, a software developed by Anderson and programmed by Liubo Borissov. Examples of this text are included in the official music videos for the album.
