Hi, for my project at university we have to 'create a map of a piece of music' and I've chosen O Superman.
I think this is the correct information?:
Laurie Anderson: vocals, vocoder, electronics
Roma Baran: Farfisa organ, Casio
Perry Hoberman: flute, saxophone
I just don't know actual musical instruments very well...and I've done my best, but I was wondering if you would be able to help me by telling me which parts of the song are the organ, casio, flute etc. Like I said, I think i know most of it like the sax, I just want to make sure I'm getting it completely right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. |

Hi there,

That is also what my record sleeves say...
only they don't mention extra "electronics" on Laurie's part.
I have a Warner EP 45 from 1981
and an earlier One Ten Records EP 33 from 198.
What kind of map will you create?
Best for your project, Angelika |

The repetitive "ah ah ah" and probably the birds as well come from a Fairlight CMI.
Also not mentioned is the bass at the end which is a Minimoog... |

Actually the repetitive "ah ah ah" was sampled in the Harmonizer H949 (which had a very short memory 0.5 sec.). I've read this in the liner notes in Big Science Cd reissue.
Other instruments played in O Superman: Roland VP330 vocoder (choir sounds), Farfisa, Casio, but not Minimoog. |
