Laurie Anderson will present a four-episode BBC Radio 6 Music Artist in Residence series December 16–19, 11pm–12am GMT. The themes of Anderson's four playlists: the real world; love and energy; loneliness and change; and the dream world. “It’s been a blast being your DJ and I hope you like the things I put together for 6 Music," she says. "I always wanted to have a late night radio show for people who are somewhere between awake and asleep. But even if you’re out and about—I hope you have a good time listening to some of my favorite music." Anderson is on BBC World Service's In the Studio, offering a front row seat as she put the finishing touches on her new album, Amelia, at Miraval Studios in southern France, with engineer Damien Quintard.
Laurie Anderson, whose new album, Amelia, was released on Friday, will present a BBC Radio 6 Music Artist in Residence series—a journey into an artist’s musical soul over four episodes, with each based around a different theme or mood—December 16–19, 11pm–12am GMT. The themes of Anderson's four playlists, featuring music from gospel to jazz, ANOHNI to Lou Reed: the real world; love and energy; loneliness and change; and the dream world.
