Annea Lockwood will be joined in conversation with Crys Cole — sound artist and director of the Send + Receive festival in Winnipeg, Canada. We will also have a chance to listen together to some of Lockwood's electro-acoustic works.
Lockwood's installation 'A Sound Map of the Danube' — a surround ‘sound map’ of the entire Danube River, incorporating a wide variety of water, animal and underwater insect sounds, rocks from the riverbed and the voices of those whose lives are intimately connected to the river will be installed and available to experience at MDT's Studio 2 for the duration of the festival — no ticket/pass required.
Performances of Lockwood's concert works 'Immersion' and 'Jitterbug' will take place at Fylkingen on Saturday 9 February.
