An inspiring conversation with Annea Lockwood, New Zealand-born experimental sound artist and musician known for her boundary-burning explorations of the world of natural acoustic sounds and environments.

In this presentation from 1986, Lockwood discusses the nourishing and healing power of natural sounds, describes her projects with burning, submerging, and burying pianos, shares her experiments in recording and composing with environmental sounds (including “A Sound Map of the Hudson River,” recorded along the river all the way from source to mouth), and takes audience questions.
