In Focus: Annea Lockwood

With Annea Lockwood

A bona fide pioneer of sound, New Zealand born Annea Lockwood transfixed the music world in the '60s and '70s with her "piano transplant" series, taking upright pianos and lighting them on fire, drowning them in bodies of water, and placing them in overgrown gardens, all while recording the audio of the process. She continues to work today, continuing a lifelong body of work that has used sound and field recording to reflect the dynamism and strangeness of the natural world, as well as question music as a solely human-made art form.
