20250809 - River Agency with Annea Lockwood - Making Waves

What this episode covers

<p>Composer <a href="https://www.annealockwood.com/biography/" target="_self">Annea Lockwood</a> talks about her work with river sounds throughout her 50 plus years of composing. Her sound map installations of the Housatonic, Danube and Hudson Rivers (and others she has made recently) underscore the value of water in shaping life on earth. Rivers not only bring energy, but Lockwood points out that rivers also have an agency of their own. That agency pushes back against the western inclination to want to control and dominate the course of water flow. In the second half of the show we will listen to an excerpt of her piece <a href="https://www.annealockwood.com/compositions/a-sound-map-of-the-housatonic-river/" target="_self">A Sound Map of the Housatonic River</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Making Waves is a monthly one hour program about radio art and sound art produced by New Adventures in Sound Art's Artistic Director Darren Copeland in South River, Ontario, Canada. The show features Canadian, US, and international artists creating sound-based media art. It focuses on the techniques, processes, and motivations of the artists it features as well as individuals supporting the field through dissemination and curatorial activities. The show is a snapshot of what is happening in sound-based media art in the here and now from a northern perspective.</p> <p><a href="https://naisa.ca/" target="_blank">https://naisa.ca/</a></p>
