*Jasmine Valandani and Steve Peters talk about their work
where: Anchor Art Space

Composer/sound artist Steve Peters will give a talk on his current sound installation at Anchor, "Chamber Music 9: Northern Light". The piece was made to accompany the current visual show by Jasmine Valandani and is based on a one-hour recording of the empty gallery, and references the mysterious phenomenon of "auroral sound" associated with the Northern Lights. In addition to discussing the work itself, Steve will also discuss the act of intentional listening, and will guide guests on a silent listening walk through the neighborhood, weather permitting.

Steve Peters  Site-specific sound installation by Seattle composer/sound artist       Chamber Music 9: Northern Light (for Julius)

Chamber Music is a series of site-specific listening environments derived from recordings made in the empty spaces in which they are presented. The process is fairly simple: an hour of room tone is recorded, then heavily filtered to extract an array of subtle resonant frequency drones, which are then mixed in various ways. No other sound sources or instruments are used. While the basic process remains consistent for each version, the results vary based on the architectural and acoustic features of the space and how the raw material is treated.
