New Zealand–born American composer Annea Lockwood performs for the first time in Los Angeles in decades at Zebulon, alongside Australian composer Lawrence English, within a special multi-channel audio installation.
World Rhythms consists of a nine-channel diffusion and live performance including sounds of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, radio waves, geysers and pools, and tree frogs. These sounds represent the physical energies that are often unnoticed yet affecting the natural rhythms of our bodies. The event features a completely revised version of Annea Lockwood’s legendary work, first performed in 1975, remastered by Lawrence English under Lockwood’s guidance.
The performance will be diffused by Lawrence English and accompanied by Annea Lockwood on tam tam.
Pasadena-based artist Ian Wellman will perform a piece constructed of recordings of Southern California. The recordings, made in the Angeles National Forest, the neighboring deserts, and the streets of LA, represent shared listenings from our local environments that may unknowingly shape our daily lives.

Annea Lockwood brings vibrant energy, ceaseless curiosity, and a profound sense of openness to her music and performance works. Her lifelong fascination with the visceral effects of sound in our environments and on our bodies—the way sounds unfold, and their myriad “life spans”—serves as the focal point for works ranging from musical compositions to performance art to multimedia installations. Since the 1970s, American sound engineer Bob Bielecki has developed unique instruments and interfaces for artists including Laurie Anderson and La Monte Young.
Co-organized by Fulcrum Arts, Chapman University, and Zebulon, Annea Lockwood: World Rhythms is presented as part of Energy Fields: Vibrations of the Pacific.
