Musician and philosopher David Rothenberg recently sat down for a public lecture with Laurie Anderson at the venerable Explorer’s Club in New York City.
In their conversation they discussed a wide variety of topics including the minutiae of the calls made by male humpback whale, whether or not music is a language and on exploring the edges of human culture through music. The entire proceedings have been preserved for posterity at Vimeo. If you want a diversion equal parts maritime and philosophy of culture, this hits the spot. (Video below.)
