Laurie Anderson – Music for Dogs (Video)

A so-called “high-frequency concert” composed by überartistic husband-wife team Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed occurred over the weekend in Sydney, Australia for a thousand-strong crowd of dogs and their owners. While Reed himself didn’t perform at the “Music for Dogs” event, Anderson led a 4-piece band through twenty minutes of abstract (to our human ears, anyway) auditory canine treats.

If you’re curious to “hear” these pet sounds, check out two clips from the concert below. Meanwhile, Homeland, Anderson’s excellent new album for the Homo sapien set, is now streaming in full at NPR.
