Martha Mooke’s Dreaming in Sound: An Experiential Performance

Dreaming in Sound is an immersive large scale work for electric viola and electronic processing with interactive video (created by pioneering software artist Scott Draves).  Dreaming in Sound is inspired by the sleep stage REM and the concept of lucid dreaming which evokes the chaotic state vs. orderliness of the dream realm.  The score includes data collected from the audience to create a collaborative dream score.
