LP 3490 JPY

A new album from Annea Lockwood — New Zealand's foremost legendary female experimental composer, ecological environmental sound artist and field recording maker — has arrived on BLACK TRUFFLE, a label on a great release run! Gatefold sleeve with liner notes included.

Two pieces are included. Side A, "Becoming Air" (sample 1), from 2018, is a collaboration with trumpeter Nate Wooley that atomizes his trumpet playing through delicate electronics before building toward a climax of roaring distortion. Side B, "Into the Vanishing Point" (sample 2), from 2019, is a collaboration with the New York piano-and-percussion chamber quartet Yarn/Wire, inspired by news of the decline in the world's insect populations; through scraped piano strings, chime tones and a gentle, soft, exquisitely delicate sound world, it conjures images of nature — insects and frogs, wind blowing through trees, the wings of birds taking flight. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
