"Politicians
are essentially storytellers. They describe the world as it is and also as they
think it should be. As a fellow storyteller, it seems like a really good time
to think about how words can literally create a world."
Politics, desire, portraits of cities and people combine with Anderson's hallucinatory use of language to make up an epic description of America's volatile landscape.
This evening will include solo violin pieces, such as the Grammy-nominated "Flow" from Homeland, mixed with fuller electronic soundscapes to create an intimate look into the songwriting style that has made Anderson one of America's most original songwriters.
