A Sound Map of the Hudson River

An aural journey from the source of the river, in the high peak area of the Adirondacks, downstream to the Lower Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Lockwood has recorded rivers in many countries to explore the special state of mind and body which the sounds of moving water create when one listens intently to the complex mesh of rhythms and pitches. The listener will find that each stretch of the Hudson has its own sonic texture, formed by the terrain, varying according to the weather, the season and, downstream, the human environment whose sounds are intimately woven into the river's sounds.

Thousand Year Dreaming

This piece takes as its inspiration the famous cave paintings at Lascaux, France. It is scored for blown conch shells (2), four didjeridus, clarinet and contrabass clarinet, oboe and English horn, frame drum, waterphone and percussion. The mood created by the instrumentation and compositional treatment is mysterious and subterranean. After a 1990 performance, Kyle Gann of the Village Voice raved "...[it] achieved more charmingly than any piece I've heard the conceit of a music uncorrupted by human society. It was the music cavemen (and women) would have played if they'd been contrabass clarinet virtuosos."

Tiger Balm

Originally created in 1970 as a music theater piece, the work incorporates live and taped sounds and actions evocative of ancient erotic rituals, traces of which still survive dormant in the communal memory and from which they may be evoked by sound.

Annea Lockwood

A composer with an unusual sensitivity to the poetic potential of sound, particularly the rich and unpredictable nature of acoustical sound, Lockwood's work frequently blends sound with movement and images to create philosophical and sensual explorations of the natural world. Born in New Zealand, Lockwood moved to England in 1961, where she studied piano at the Royal College of Music. She attended summer courses in New Music at Darmstadt for several years, and completed her training with a year in Germany and Holland, studying electronic music and instrumental composition. She lives in Crompond, New York and is professor of music at Vassar College.
