More recently, she was invited to work as a visiting artist with students in India to produce a site-specific installation exploring local history in Bangalore. She has also written and delivered papers on this area. Her previous electroacoustic music works have explored the metaphorical use of space and gesture as a compositional parameter. Other works include compositions and sound design for large-scale outdoor theatre productions, film and video soundtracks, live performance and installation work. She is currently engaged in research into live audiovisual performance and the design and development of new software tools. This page: Cathy Lane recording in Iceland Much of this recording trip to Iceland was spent investigating the environment in microphysiological detail and texture. Chance encounters provided unexpected material.

She is currently Professor of Music at Vassar College, New York. Lockwood describes her work as exploring ‘the poetic potential of sound, particularly the rich and unpredictable nature of acoustical sound’ and ‘blending sound with movement and images to create philosophical and sensual explorations of the natural world.’ This page: ‘A Sound Map of the Danube’ This 2006 installation was presented at the Stadthaus, Ulm. It is a multi- channel sound installation with an accompanying map of the river, a time display and a tactile element – rocks taken from the riverbed, which have been shaped and incised by the river’s force. Between 2001 and 2004 Lockwood travelled from the river’s sources to its delta, recording the river itself (surface and underwater), and its inhabitants (human and animal), then mixed these site recordings and interviews into a three-hour work. Listeners can identify sites by correlating the time display with the map, which identifies each site and the time at which it can be heard.This is the most recent in a series of river installations Lockwood has composed since the early 1970s.

During that week, five backpackers absconded with it briefly, thinking it abandoned; later a storm blew in from the Indian Ocean, leaving lid and legs strewn along the beach and the piano body half filled with sand and seaweed, but still producing sounds. This was the final piece in Lockwood’s series, Piano Transplants (started in 1968). Image courtesy of Heuchan Hobbs.
