Recital presents a book and CD homage to the New Zealand-born American composer
Annea Lockwood
(b. 1939). The unique concept for this album was conceived by artists
Noel Meek
(New Zealand) and
Mattin
(Basque Country), who each share a deep admiration for Lockwood. A longform Skype conversation between the three artists was arranged at the end of 2020. They discussed politics, aesthetics, and Annea's compositional practice among other things. Noel Meek and Mattin had from the beginning decided that the conversation itself would be used as a score for this album,
Homage to Annea Lockwood
. Each piece on the album reflects her prismatic compositional practice: sound maps, scores that unfold temporally or environmentally, synchronous with nature, and pianos transplanted to exotic locations (often engulfed in flames). Meek and Mattin maintain a playfulness and curiosity of Annea's sound world; from electronic verbal fizz, a recording of lighting a laptop on fire, hydrophonic diaries from underneath an old oak tree in New Zealand, to a polyphonic choral piece which concludes the album.
Homage to Annea Lockwood
is housed in a hand-numbered paperback book, which carries a full transcription of the conversation, in this case: the score, along with lush photographic documentation, and ending with a lovely afterword written by Annea Lockwood. Recital is working with Annea again years later, after publishing her 2014 album
Ground of Being
. What a joy it is to celebrate Annea, and how appropriate it be done through the ritual of music.
