Chambers involves audience participation, of several kinds, that the conductor will explain before the performance. The title refers to the interior quality of the music as well as to the chambers of our ears.

performed by Lisa Nelson, viola; Amanda Legner, percussion; David Flowers, synthesizer; David Vayo, conductor; and audience (see score) [Please note that this recording doesn’t give a complete sense of what Chambers will sound like to an audience member, since the audience covers and uncovers their ears to create filtering effects during several sections of the piece.]
