Laurie Anderson

Accommodating the consumer TV set's small scale for her first music video, Anderson used close-up shots, exaggerated silhouettes of her shadow-puppet hands, and her glowing face, illuminated by a tiny pillow speaker placed inside her mouth that emanated a prerecorded violin solo she modulated with her lips. She wired her head and performed a drum solo on her skull, turning herself into an instrument.
