Inspired by research into the ritual function of music, the piece explores the possibility of evoking ancient communal memories through sound. Breaking entirely with the dynamic language of the musique concrète tradition, Lockwood uses a select palette of mainly unprocessed sonic elements chosen for their mysterious and erotic characteristics (a purring cat, a heartbeat, gongs, slowed down jaw harp, a tiger, a woman’s breath, a plane passing overhead), presenting at most two sounds at once. As one sound flows organically into the next, their shared characteristics are highlighted, opening a space of dream logic and mysterious associations between nature and culture, the ancient and the modern. The B side presents two pieces for percussion recorded here for the first time. \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmazonia Dreaming\u003c\/em\u003e (1987), performed by Dominic Donato, uses unaccompanied snare drum and voice to evoke the nocturnal soundscape of the Amazon rainforest. Unorthodox techniques and materials (marbles, chopsticks, a plastic jar lid) transform the snare into a resonant field of sensual textures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_lblDescription\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eImmersion\u003c\/em\u003e (1998), performed by Donato and Frank Cassara, is a slow-moving exploration of gentle beating tones, performed on marimba, tam tams, and gong. Like the other two works presented on this LP, it provides captivating proof of Lockwood’s belief in the complexity that deep listening can reveal within seemingly simple sounds.” — Francis Plagne\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_lblDescription\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComes in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with archival pictures and liner notes by Annea Lockwood; Includes the score to \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmazonia Dreaming\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_lblDescription\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLP design by Stephen O’Malley; Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates \u0026amp; Mastering.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlack Truffle, 2017\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"naturestripstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42603309072625,"sku":"BT028","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8859\/0065\/products\/alockwood_tigerbalm.jpg?v=1653624609","url":"https:\/\/naturestripstore.myshopify.com\/products\/annea-lockwood-tiger-balm-amazonia-dreaming-immersion-lp","provider":"naturestripstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
