A series of programmes about the spiritual dimensions of sound and the emotional intensity of current music.
The theme of part 42 is: The Lovely Blue Danube; part 2; by Annea Lockwood.
Annea Lockwood is an American composer who was born in New Zealand. She taught electronic music at the Vassar College. She often uses outdoor recordings in her work. She is also inspired in her work by the Fluxus movement like with her burning and drowning pianos. Lockwood studied composition at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. Next she continued her education at several different institutes in Europe. At the end of the sixties, beginning of the seventies she worked a lot in Europe and she settled in London. Her compositions contain a lot of non-conventional instruments like glass tubes and burning pianos. Because she integrates public and space more and more into her pieces, her work grows more and more into performance art. She also starts to use more and more the sounds of the surroundings (outdoor recordings).
In her recent work she primarily uses electroacoustic and native instruments which she combines with multi medial techniques.
