Originally released by Lovely Music in 1989; 2003 reissue. Annea Lockwood, recording, mixing; the Hudson River. "An aural journey from the source of the river, in the high peak area of the Adirondacks, downstream to the Lower Bay and the Atlantic Ocean; Lockwood traces the course of the Hudson through on-site recordings of its flow at 15 separate locations. Annea Lockwood has recorded rivers in many countries to explore the special state of mind and body which the sounds of moving water create when one listens intently to the complex mesh of rhythms and pitches. The listener will find that each stretch of the Hudson has its own sonic texture, formed by the terrain, varying according to the weather, the season and downstream, the human environment whose sounds are intimately woven into the river's sounds. 71 minutes 33 seconds."

Nineteen years later, we are proud to present A Sound Map of the Danube, her largest river recording project to date.

Title:	Thousand Year Dreaming/Floating World
Label:	POGUS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	POGUS 21045

"'Thousand Year Dreaming' (1990) was commissioned by Essential Music and was written with the musicians on this recording, their particular strengths and inclinations, very much in mind. It grew out of an improvisatory piece, 'Nautilus,' which Art Baron, Scott Robinson and Lockwood realized in 1989. They found that the sound of conch shell trumpets, didjeridu and frame drums really flowered in the resonant spaces they were using for the piece. Lockwood started imagining the sonorities possible with four didjeridu's, gongs, conches and trombones and frame drums, all shaped by the penetrating and sensuous edge of oboes and clarinets. floating world (1999) is an immersion in place and transience. The composer invited friends who work with environmental sounds themselves, and who have a strong sense of place, to make recordings for her in places of personal, spiritual significance to them, so it is a collaborative work. From their field recordings (edited but not processed), and other sounds Lockwood wove the slowly shifting texture forming floating world." Performers on Thousand Year Dreaming: Art Baron (conch shell, trombone, didjeridu), Libby Van Cleve (oboe, English horn), Jon Gibson (didjeridu), Annea Lockwood (voice), J.D. Parran (clarinet, contrabass clarinet), Michael Pugliese (tam-tam, clapping sticks), N. Scott Robinson (conch shell, frame drums, pod rattle, tam-tam), John Snyder (didjeridu, waterphone), Charles Wood (tam-tam, stones), Peter Zummo (trombone, didjeridu).
