In that Laurie Anderson talk, she mentions a track that Lou Reed (her late husband) created by processing recordings of wind over the Hudson River, where she lives. This became their Tai Chi music. And of course, YouTube had it..

This will be available as a replay tomorrow afternoon for 24 hours and is the first of three talks. I saw the second one when it was presented live. It was mind blowing. As the blurb below says, she is known for her multimedia presentations. She rocks a zoom meeting in a way that I haven’t seen in my admittedly limited Zoom experience.

24 HOUR ACCESS: A recording of The River, Laurie Anderson’s Norton Lecture from February 10, 2021, will go live on YouTube at 5pm EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) on Thursday, September 16, 2021 and will remain available for the next 24 hours, until 5pm EDT on Friday, September 17, 2021.

Laurie Anderson is one of America’s most renowned â and daring â creative pioneers. Known primarily for her multimedia presentations, she has cast herself in roles as varied as visual artist, composer, poet, photographer, filmmaker, electronics whiz, vocalist, and instrumentalist.

I’m a period outside the quotes kind of guy. i always chalked it up to being a programmer and this is how it makes sense there. Didn’t know it was a American/British difference.

FORTRAN is not dead. It was the first language I used from my college training in a paid job situation in 1981.

Recently, I saw an animation that showed, over the years, who it was that still used FORTRAN. Currently it seems it’s largely places like McDonnell Douglass and Raytheon, but I have seen Fortran code getting compiled in machine learning applications.

Just for fun, a few months ago I downloaded and installed it on a Linux host of mine, wrote a “hello world” program, and declared to myself and the dog, “i’ve still got it!”
