Marisa Anderson is an American guitarist and composer based in Portland, Oregon. She is primarily known for mixing American primitive guitar with various genres from throughout the United States and the rest of the world, and for her largely improvised compositions. Though primarily known for playing acoustic and electric guitars, she has also played keyboards and other instruments on her albums. Anderson grew up in Sonoma, California, and after dropping out of college, travelled around the United States and Mexico for several years before settling in Portland.

She has released 11 albums under her own name since 2006, including two collaborative albums with Jim White and one each with Tashi Dorji and William Tyler. She was also previously a member of the bands the Dolly Ranchers and Evolutionary Jass Band, releasing multiple albums with each act. She has toured with all three collaborators, as well as with acts such as Emmylou Harris, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Thurston Moore.

Early life

Anderson was born in Northern California and grew up in Sonoma. When she was young, she listened to church music and classical with her mother, and country – notably Doc Watson and the Oak Ridge Boys – with her father.{{Cite news |last=Blackley |first=Laura |date=May 1, 2014 |title=Folk singer Marisa Anderson plays the Mothlight |work=Citizen Times |url=https://www.citizen-times.com/story/entertainment/music/2014/05/01/folk-singer-marisa-anderson-plays-mothlight/8562821/ |access-date=December 10, 2022}} She started playing guitar at age ten.{{Cite news |last=Jurek |first=Thom |title=Marisa Anderson Biography |work=AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/marisa-anderson-mn0000891138/biography |access-date=December 10, 2022}} In her teen and young adult years, she took lessons from fellow California guitarist Nina Gerber.

Style

Anderson's music has been described as falling into the American primitive guitar style introduced by John Fahey in the 1960s, and she has been called a "neo-Americana guitar outsider".{{Cite news |last=Levinson |first=Leah B. |date=June 22, 2016 |title=Marisa Anderson - Into the Light |work=Tiny Mix Tapes |url=https://www.tinymixtapes.com/music-review/marisa-anderson-light |access-date=December 10, 2022}} She mixes in influences from various other genres such as gospel, country, Appalachian folk and blues,{{Cite news |last=Gotrich |first=Lars |date=June 16, 2016 |title=Review: Marisa Anderson, Into the Light |work=NPR |url=https://www.npr.org/2016/06/16/480605326/first-listen-marisa-anderson-into-the-light |access-date=December 10, 2022}} jazz, circus music, minimalism, electronic, drone, and 20th century classical, while also including global influences such as Tuareg and Latin music on Cloud Corner{{Cite news |last=Monger |first=Timothy |title=Marisa Anderson - Cloud Corner |work=AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/cloud-corner-mw0003161101 |access-date=July 5, 2022}} and flamenco on Still, Here.{{Cite news |last=Cush |first=Andy |date=September 26, 2022 |title=Marisa Anderson: Still Here Album Review |work=Pitchfork |url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/marisa-anderson-still-here/ |access-date=December 11, 2022}} On some albums, her music is also referred to as experimental.{{Cite news |last=Horowitz |first=Steve |date=May 19, 2020 |title=Jim White and Marisa Anderson's The Quickening Takes an Experimental Journey |work=PopMatters |url=https://www.popmatters.com/jim-white-marisa-anderson-quickening-2646026906.html |access-date=July 6, 2022}}{{Cite news |last=Haver Currin |first=Grayson |date=December 23, 2015 |title=The Best Experimental Albums of 2015 |work=Pitchfork |url=https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/9773-the-best-experimental-albums-of-2015/ |access-date=December 10, 2022}}

She is known to improvise music rather than compose it on many of her recordings, including the entirety of her album The Quickening.{{Cite news |last=Jarnow |first=Jesse |date=May 18, 2020 |title=Jim White / Marisa Anderson: The Quickening Album Review |work=Pitchfork |url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/jim-white-marisa-anderson-the-quickening/ |access-date=July 6, 2022}} On the subject, she has said she likes "to think about improvisation as a conversation" and that it's "really just an art at being literate and expressive no matter what language you are in... I am trying to be very present with the music and to make my intention realized with every performance." When asked in an interview how she got into improvisation, she said {{quote|I grew up playing classical. In classical music, there's a boss. What's on the page is the boss. What the composer intended, that's the boss. In classical music, you're not your own boss ever. That's fine, that's for a reason. Any song that's sung tends to lend itself to having a structure that you have to follow. Words are the boss, a lot of times. They're the boss of how a song goes, when it starts and when it ends, and what order the emotions lay out in.{{Cite news |last=Silverstein |first=Jeffrey |date=November 21, 2022 |title=Composer and guitarist Marisa Anderson on the benefits of being a late bloomer |work=The Creative Independent |url=https://thecreativeindependent.com/people/composer-and-guitarist-marisa-anderson-on-the-benefits-of-being-a-late-bloomer/ |access-date=December 10, 2022}}}}

{{quote|I'm not against structure. I'm not even against doing things the same way. But in the creative process, I like to be free. Once it's the performance, there's room for all of it in my music. Some things I do exactly the same, and that's its own fun thing, is to adhere to that. Some things I do differently. In performance, what changes is the dynamic in the room.}}

Anderson's main instrument is the guitar, both acoustic and electric, but she has also employed other instruments across her albums such as lap steel guitar, pedal steel guitar, and Wurlitzer electronic piano on Into the Light; and charango and requinto guitar on Cloud Corner.{{Cite web |title=Cloud Corner |url=https://www.thrilljockey.com/products/cloud-corner |access-date=May 6, 2023 |website=Thrill Jockey}} Her instrument collection also includes a Dobro from the 1930s, a terz guitar, a nylon-string parlor guitar, a custom Warmoth Telecaster with Lollar P-90 guitar pickups, and a Gibson ES-125 from the early 1940s.{{Cite news |last=Kimpton |first=Glenn |date=December 15, 2022 |title=Marisa Anderson on the art of improvisation versus composition and the everlasting allure of a sustaining electric guitar |work=Guitar World |url=https://www.guitarworld.com/features/marisa-anderson-still-here |access-date=December 18, 2022}}
