Editorial Reviews
Kyle Gann, The Village Voice
The roar of a Hawaiian volcano, the prolonged boom of an under-ocean earthquake, the quick blips of a pulsar in the Vela Supernovathese are the more exotic sounds Lockwood has wovenintoher tapestry "World Rhythms." What separates her work from musique concrte is that the attention is drawn, not to the sound construction she's made, but to the universe ouside our perceptual framework, no matter how sensuous the results. As you listen, reality overwhelms you. the fact makes her a more importand electronic pioneer than she's yet been given credit for. Anderson's "i come out of your sleep" is no horror-flick soundtrack, but a meditation piece of slowly whispered phonemes at the threshold of hearing."

Andy Hamilton, The Wire
"This is not an album of environmental sound for relaxation," proclaims the sleevenote, but don't let that keep you awake. Lockwood's 45 minute peice began as a ten-channel live improvisation, mixing environmental sounds plus tam-tam. sounds include a volcanic eruption from hawaii, various rivers, tree frogs from the Mississippi, and a bonfire with crows from Essex. There's a parallel here with the 'electroacoustic nature photographs' of Luc Ferrari.
