“Into the Lucid Chamber” was composed to be first performed at the Georgetown Steam Plant in Seattle, which has unique acoustic character—rich reverberation, resonant frequencies, and the surprising musicality of its materials when awakened. This piece treats the space not merely as a venue, but as a collaborator. Field recordings made in and around the Steam Plant form the basis of an electroacoustic composition projected throughout the building via a multichannel distributed speaker system. The sounds are transformed in real-time using an accelerometer-based control system, drawing both performer and listener into a shared sonic field. In a sense, the space begins to “play itself”: its resonances processing the very sounds it once generated.  The machine dreams on, and we eavesdrop—just for a moment—on the echoes of its past. The concert version of the piece recreates the reverberation of the steam plan using a multichannel speaker system.
