LOCKWOOD, ANNEA - GLASS WORLD (CD & BOOK)

"This recording celebrates many things, amongst them Lockwood's willingness to allow single sounds to resonate, fully. Across each of the twenty three vignettes captured here, Annea Lockwood invites us to lean into the material nature of sound with her. Glass World shimmers with an almost fanatical incandescence. It radiates a vibrational intensity that holds as strongly today as it did upon its original release in 1970 on Tangent Records. I had the privilege to re-master these recordings, under the guidance of Annea, and sitting with them so intensely was nothing but a delight. In tandem with this project, Annea and I have undertaken a long-form in conversation, which is collected in the book which sits alongside this edition. The conversation splays outward from Annea's work on Glass World and it deliberately seeks to visit upon her interests and passions, and through doing so revel a certain perspective that has guided her ways of being, and ways of making. It's an honour to have the opportunity to share this edition with you. I hope you too can catch Annea's resonate curiosity and be as captivated by these sounds as I (and many others) have been." (Lawrence English) Matte laminate sleeve, insert card and artist book featuring a wide ranging in conversation between Annea Lockwood and Lawrence English as well as previously unseen documentation of her works including Piano Transplants, World Rhythms and more.
