Is that a Korg M1 at around 0:16? The factory presets of the M1 are everywhere in The Ugly One with the Jewels.

Yes, good old M1 :)

Now THAT'S how technology should be used! To enhance and facilitate creativity, not obscure it, or hide one's lack of talent. Laurie is SO cool!

Where can I find this song?

[Sjobeck7]

She still had the Roland VP 330 Mk1 Vocoder Synth that she used so heavily on O Superman... Didn't see the Oberheim OBXa also from the same era however...

I wonder, do you think she still has most of this gear?

@LeonardRockstein

In response to your question of how did Laurie Anderson get her dough for her gear....

Dimples.

@PIlotrcm - For about $3k you could stuff a home studio filled with old gear from this era, no problem. A Korg M1 for example recently sold on Ebay for $300.

In the 80s, Laurie's studio however was probably in excess of $1m. Her Synclavier alone was likely around $100k.

@rg2027x I think she breaks it down into smaller, simpler pieces, that in the end becomes a more complex unity. Music is not hard if you can pinpoint each part of it, individually.

[PIlotrcm]

Whats disturbing is not the fact that she has this kinda of equipment, it's that I've seen people on Youtube with more equipment that she has...how the hell they afford it is beyond me.

[hybryds]

immense EXPENSIVE material for a home studio in the 80 ties !!!!!

[LeonardRockstein]

How'd she get the money for this kind of a setup...she's a deadbeat

Laurie knew how to work it. Wish we had visionary, truly creative artists like her in today's 'music'....(sigh)
