Annea Lockwood composed in 2016 the piece "Bayou-borne" - for improvisation guided by graphic imagery - as a tribute to Pauline Oliveros who was born in Houston Texas.
"I created a graphic score from a map of the six bayous which flow through the city to Galveston Bay, thinking that she would have known one or all of those rivers intimately as a child – swimming, wading, river mud between her toes. She was a superb improviser, so it is scored for six improvising musicians with each player reading one of the rivers as a guide. Their lines move independently at first, coming closer together at the confluences to form duets and trios, before converging at the red star, the whole sound darkening as they approach Houston in memory of the devastation and deaths caused by Hurricane Harvey in 2017." Annea Lockwood
"Bayou-borne" is performed by Maze:
Anne La Berg (flutes, electronics), Dario Calderone (double bass), Gareth Davis (bass clarinet), Yannis Kyriakides (electronics),
Wiek Hijmans (electric guitar), Reinier van Houdt (piano, eletronics). Now published on a limited edition's CD (300 copies) .
