Description

On December 20, 1972, composer Annea Lockwood appeared live on Ode To Gravity. She was interviewed by Pauline Oliveros, who began the discussion by relating a number of dreams that she had had involving Annea, although they had never met before. The two composers go on to discuss their mutual interest in meditation, and in particular sonic meditation. Later a gathering of 30 composers and performers executed Annea’s serenity-inducing event for multiple hummers. Among the many guests were Don Buchla, Barry Conyngham, John Lifton, Joanna Brouk, Tony Gnazzo, Richard Friedman, Allen Strange, John Dinwiddie, Tom Zahuranec, and Annea’s husband at that time, Harvey Matusow. Also heard on this program is a 1972 tape piece by Annea titled “Windhover”.
