Annea Lockwood (born July 29, 1939, in Christchurch, New Zealand) is a New Zealand-born American composer and academic musician.

[1] Her range is vast and often includes microtonal, electro-acoustic soundscapes and vocal music, as well as recordings of natural found sounds.

[2] Her composition studies continued with Peter Racine Fricker at the Royal College of Music from 1961 to 1963; with Gottfried Michael Koenig at the Darmstädter Ferienkurse from 1963 to 1964; and at the Hochschule für Musik Köln.

Three Short Stories and Apotheosis (1985) used what Lockwood named the Soundball, which was a foam-covered ball made of six small speakers and a radio receiver.

Thousand Year Dreaming (1991) used four didgeridoos and blends images of the Lascaux Cave as part of the performance.

Her piece Piano Burning has been replicated multiple times, including as the closing track of the 2019 album There Existed An Addiction To Blood by the experimental hip-hop group clipping.
