Laurie Anderson launches an international spring and summer tour with a performance of her retrospective piece Transitory Life at the Donau Festival in Krems, Austria, tonight. The tour features performances of Anderson's latest work, Delusion, which received its world premiere at the Vancouver Cultural Olympiad in 2010, with stops at venues and music festivals in Germany, the UK, Spain, Portugal, Greece, the Netherlands, Israel, Norway, and Ireland. Anderson returns to her home city of New York to perform at the River to River Festival in June and performs at the Lincoln Center Out of Doors festival later this summer.

Anderson recently spoke with the BBC's Colin Grant for the BBC World Service program The Click, to discuss her use of technology in her art and music over the years. "The Laurie Anderson sound has evolved as she grasped new technologies," says the BBC, "adapting instruments and software to suit her genre-defining artistic vision."
