Conceived as both an artwork and experiment in sound engineering, Book of Dreams: chapter sand is an electro-acoustic performance installation featuring environmental design and sound-reactive video by GLMMR and an electronic composition by David Adam Moore, created to interlock with vocal composition by David T. Little. Performed without microphones, it explores uncharted sound worlds by creating a symbiosis between un-amplified vocals and an electronic accompaniment that is precisely engineered to integrate with the acoustic properties of an operatically-produced voice at high volume levels. The text by poet Sonja Krefting depicts a strange world of sand, mirrors, and scorpions; a dream labyrinth that foretells, and perhaps forges a connection with the afterlife. The music itself reflects this strange world: dynamics bob and weave and scansion is sometimes askew; fragments blow by quickly, or become the subject of obsession. It premiered to a sold-out audience at National Sawdust in a performance described by contemporary music journalist Jeremy Hirsch as "unpretentious and utterly enjoyable while it effectively told a treacherous story.”
