A fantastic insight into this amazing and intruiging man. Robert Ashley is an amazing composer with some very intersting idea's. I'm currently studying an MA in opera and music theatre and this has been a great help.
Many Thanks for this great show!
Congratulations!
Thanks
Ashley
How have I missed Robert Ashley? Such a surprise to hear something one has never heard before. Thank you!
Were Laurie Anderson and Robert Ashley separated at birth? Did she study under him? Learn everything she knows from him? Was it just me, or did you catch how very much it seems his work has influenced hers?
