Annea Lockwood: Becoming Air Performed by Nate Wooley
Her first-ever piece for trumpet, Annea Lockwood’s Becoming Air completely inhabits the concept of the FOR/WITH festival. It was composed through intimate collaboration with Wooley, using much of his improvising electro-acoustic vocabulary. And, yet, it is absolutely an Annea Lockwood composition: performative, shamanic, and with an attention to the naturalness of sound that makes the audience rethink their aural surroundings.
The second evening of the series opens with the world premiere of Becoming Air by Annea Lockwood, followed by Library on Lightning by Ashley Fure, Felipe Lara’s recent composition Metafagote, and the premiere of the duo rendition of Wadada Leo Smith’s Red Autumn Gold.

Annea Lockwood: "I Give You Back" Performed by Kristin Norderval
Annea Lockwood’s 1995 composition I Give You Back, performed by Kristin Norderval, is a lament for unaccompanied mezzo-soprano and is set to a text by celebrated Mvskoke poet Joy Harjo. The score notes evoke the piece as “the simple image of one woman onstage, barefoot, letting loose great octave leaps and glissandos peaking in sharp cries, projecting a beautifully unfettered freedom.”
Annea Lockwood: Bayou-Borne, For Pauline
FOR concludes with a performance of Annea Lockwood’s Bayou-Borne, for Pauline. The piece is dedicated to the late Pauline Oliveros (1932 - 2016) and follows a score based on a map of the six bayous converging near Houston, Texas. The work is performed by Christian Wolff (percussion), Ross Karre (percussion), Nate Wooley (trumpet), Michael Pisaro (electric guitar), Megan Schubert (soprano voice) and Jessica Pavone (viola).
September 30th, ISSUE presents WITH, the second night of FOR/WITH. The evening premieres Michael Pisaro's Stem-Flower-Root and features works by Annea Lockwood and Christian Wolff, as well as a roundtable panel with the mini-festival's composers and performers.
