Laurie Anderson presents a drone-based sonic experience utilizing guitars from her late husband Lou Reed‘s collection. The installation, curated by Reed’s former guitar technician, Stewart Hurwood, places the instruments in an arrangement against a group of amplifiers so that their tuned feedback creates an enveloping drone of harmonics that shifts and changes, depending on the audience location.
