This is a work, written in 2016, for six improvising musicians who are reading a map of the bayous flowing through Houston as a score.
The work is dedicated to Pauline Oliveros, who grew up in Houston, and was created in response to a celebration to honour Oliveros's 85th birthday.
Lockwood writes: "I knew Pauline for many years and treasured our friendship and her seminal contributions to how we listen and respond to sounds and to one another."
