(*) Laurie Anderson, Two Songs for Tape Bow Violin (single) Holly Solomon Gallery, New York, 1977. Produced by Bob George, was part of Laurie Anderson one-woman show at the Holly Solomon Gallery in New York, and was displayed in a juke-box. The show contained work which was considered part of the at the time very much acknowledged “narrative art”. Laurie Anderson carried this movement, which mainly used a combination of fotografy and text into the new context of analogue and electronic audiovisual media and their application in performance art.

-Giorno Poetry System- (1978)

* Este es el LP (doble), muy raro por cierto, que en el surco 2 del lado A suena el tema de Philip Glass "A Secret Solo".

.. En la carátula vemos a un joven Philip, aunque ya hacía una década que era compositor y músico profesional..Incluso ya había realizado su primer banda sonora "North Star" para la exposición-documental del escultor Mark di Suvero.
