Annea Lockwood: Ear-Walking Woman - Lois Svard - DVD

About

Experience Annea Lockwood's prepared piano from the inside - with a close-up view during performance of the detuned strings, the superball mallets, the buddhist prayer gong, the water glass, the cedar balls, screws, ceramic pestle, and all of the other implements that create the "otherworldly" sounds in this 1996 work that is destined to become a classic. Drawing on the prepared piano tradition of John Cage, Lockwood has fashioned an entirely new musical terrain in which pianist Lois Svard explores a sound landscape that is mesmerizing, eerie, and remarkably beautiful.
