Introduction to "Charles Amirkhanian", p.17. ISBN 0-8166-3832-2.] LP anthology "New Music for Electronic and Recorded Media" (1977).

Her sound poem "I Come Out of Your Sleep" (revised and recorded on "Sinopah" 1997 XI) is constructed from speech sounds in Louise Bogan's poem "Little Lobelia." According to the composer "a very soft dynamic level is an integral component of this piece. It is important to listen to it in the way it was composed, near the threshold of hearing." (liner notes) Her collage piece "SUM (State of the Union Message)" is included on the "Lesbian American Composers" collection (1998 CRI: 780). "SUM" and "DUMP" (1970), also a sonic collage, are her best known pieces. She calls her student of Zen, begun in 1990, "a natural extension of of my music," and cites as influential, especially on her interest in music and healing, composers Pauline Oliveros and Annea Lockwood.

Anderson received degrees in flute and composition at the University of Washington and later studied with Darius Milhaud and Nadia Boulanger in the 1950s and with Vladimir Ussachevsky and Pril Smiley in the 1960s at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. She wrote that after her exposure to tape manipulation she became open to the potential of, "all sounds...as material for music". She joined the staff at Hunter College (CUNY) in 1966 and created the electroacoustic music center there after being fired and rehired at the new Hunter College facilities in 1968.
