Annea Lockwood is known for her explorations of the world of natural
acoustic sounds and environments, in works ranging from installations,
through performance art to concert music. Many of her works for
acoustic instruments draw on the performer's personal sonic
vocabulary, as in "Duende" with baritone Thomas Buckner, a longtime
collaborator; or they draw on personal history, as in "Ceci n'est pas
un piano" which is centered on pianist Jennifer Hymer's feelings about
her hands and pianos she has owned and is combined with images of
Lockwood's 'Piano Burning' and other piano transplants. Currently she
is working on "Jitterbug," a project in which David Behrman and John
King interpret rocks, transforming them into sound
through their own rich vocabularies.

Dion Workman + Barry Weisblatt: "Qing Zhong" a piece for pre-recorded
"singing" bowls and 16-channel playback.

Dion Workman is a native of New Zealand based in New York. His rare
solo work has gained him international recognition in the form of
prizes, commissions and reviews. Recently, Workman's sound work has
manifested as collaborative and anonymous large scale sound
"interventions" in public spaces. The premiere performance of Chen
Jung is a rare opportunity to hear one of Workman's "compositions."

Barry Weisblatt works extensive experiments with electro-magnetic
devices, solar technology and homemade and modified circuits for
application in sound generation/manipulation, audio engineering and
photography.
