From the author’s liner notes: ”Chamber Music is a series of sound installations derived from a single recording made in the empty spaces in which they are later presented. No people are present during the recording (including myself), although some sound inevitably leaks in from the outside world. That source recording is filtered to isolate and amplify certain of the room's resonant frequencies, creating a series of drones which are the only sound materials used; no musical instruments are involved. The finished work is then played back in the space at low volume.
Between 2005 and 2013 I made ten pieces in this series, each somewhat different than the others in terms of form and technique. I think of them as being related to light as much as sound – the way natural light moves through a space, the shadows and hue of the room shifting subtly throughout the day.”
Steve Peters' sound art is completely out of the box and free. His research addresses the intimate essence of the sound of nature and things. For him every place is an instrument - in the literal sense and in the musical sense of the word. A place where sound already exists, or where it can be made to exist. In the form that the place suggests and that the artist's inspiration receives and regenerates. You can call it sound art or compositions, installations or maybe songs. Either way, it's a whole new world of sound sensations.
John Cage was the first to clear the sound of nature (and also of human activities) as "music", and after him many other artists followed him. Following this path Steve Peters found his original voice in the places he's been and traveled. Most of his music has a strong connection with the environment: it’s made of it, it’s connected with it, it’s inspired by it, it’s derived from it.
This BOX edition (limited to 50 copies) includes, a full CD (also published as a stand alone release as #AG26 - see here ants4.bandcamp.com/album/chamber-music ), a substantial booklet (80-page with texts and images of the installations) and a USB drive key containing the complete versions of all the Chamber Pieces, as well as several other related works created using the same basic process in other contexts, for a total of more than 12 hours of music.
Steve Peters composes music and sound for concerts, recordings, art venues, public places, dance & theater, radio, and moving image. His work is often site-based, combining location sound with voices, instruments, electronics, and found or natural objects. He performs with the Seattle Phonographers Union and in various improvising situations, and frequently collaborates with artists in other disciplines. He’s also a freelance producer, writer, and curator. His work has been released by 12k, Cold Blue, Palace of Lights, and several other labels. He’s the Director of Nonsequitur, a historical non-profit organization presenting adventurous music and audio art, currently via the Wayward Music Series at the Chapel Performance Space in Seattle.
