World Rhythms
by Annea Lockwood
(@room40.bsky.social 2026)

room40.bandcamp.com/album/world-...

A note from Lawrence English 
In late 1975, Annea Lockwood realised her composition World Rhythms. It represents one of the first creative works exploring the potentials of field recordings in a multichannel setting. It is a landmark work and a composition that, on its 50th anniversary, has gently carried forward over the decades, but arguably now is only starting to come into true focus, and be understood for exactly how revolutionary it was.

World Rhythms was a work concerned with a practice of sustained listening into the world, and beyond. It expanded outward from many of the compositions and themes Annea Lockwood had been exploring since the 1960s. It sought to take those learnings and apply them to a new set of terrains and circumstances. Moreover, it suggested a sensing of sound that was drawn from profound curiosity, matched only by patience.

In 2019, I reached out to Annea and started a conversation about a revisitation of World Rhythms. My initial proposition was a simple one: a re-issue that was remastered and touched up, reflecting Annea’s thoughts on the piece in this moment.

The conversation quickly spun outward though, and before long Annea had asked if I might be interested to revisit the master tapes with the thought that the work could be revived and prepared for performance presentations going forward into this century.

On listening to the materials, during the period of restoring the audio from the original master tapes, I was struck by the profound dynamism of the recordings. Each of the sound-fields held an attentive flux, a rhythmic pulse that was breathing. Each one a story of the pulses of the world, and our universe, that spoke to a possible reading of reality that sits in excess of our everyday capacities. A poetics of pulse if you like.

Here then is the result of those conversations and also the presentations of the piece that followed - several of which Annea has overseen herself. On this newly rendered imagining of World Rhythms

This was honestly a joy. Lawrence at @thetonearm.com , was open to covering some wide terrain including my proposal of Acid Nostalgia, listening and weight lifting, surprise, and the joys of collaborating with people like stephen vitiello.

Went to a pan-Asian supermarket today.

Can’t be that rare, they were three rows deep!

Really though, curious what this was. Curious what a LOT of things were. Definitely need to go back.

New tape! Pre-order link in profile. Drops Tuesday. More in the alt-text

Today I am very excited to announce the pre-release of our new album Modern Folk Band in a limited edition of 50 cassettes from Bud Tapes. The pace of our releases has slowed down, but I feel like each one means more, and this one means a lot. It’s our first album recorded in a studio with an engineer - Skyler Pia, who did a beautiful job helping us sound our best. MF has never been represented in this kind of fidelity before. It’s a clear snapshot of where our ever shifting band was at last summer, and we are proud of it. The Planet of the Apes cover art is by Zack Barbery. As always, thanks to the band and Emmet for continuing down the MF path with me. Album drops on Tuesday, the original music day.

All proceeds from digital sales or anything beyond the $8 cost you spend on the tape will be donated to Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition

fully ruined by this; Oren Ambarchi introduces us to the lesser-known work of guitar god (and instrument builder) Hans Reichel, an early influence who helped shape Ambarchi’s sound and would later be sampled by 0pn- among many, many other things. 10/10✨
