Steve Peters (b. 1959) makes music and sound for various contexts and occasions using field recordings, found/natural objects, electronics, assorted instruments, spoken text, and explorations of acoustic phenomena. His work is primarily engaged with issues of place, presence, perception, attention, and duration. Since 2000 he has concentrated on site-specific installations for galleries, museums, and public spaces, either alone or in collaboration with visual artists. Having retired from solo performance in 2002, he appears occasionally with the Phonographers Union, a loose collective that improvises with unprocessed field recordings. Since 1989 he has been the Director of Nonsequitur, a non-profit org currently presenting concerts of adventurous music and sound art at the Good Shepherd Center Chapel in Seattle.
