Hello all,
I am looking for examples of permanent multichannel/surround sound audio
installations in museums. Does anyone know of any examples. I am interested
in any that have at least 4 channels and not a stereo file diffused over 4
speakers etc. If possible please state the number of channels used ,
speaker positioning , spatialisation techniques used, their application and
the location of the installation,
thanks,
Gus
Hi Gus,
You should look in to the work of the following architectural soundscape
designers: Les Gilbert, Nigel Frayne, David Chesworth, Sonia Leber, all
of whom who have worked for the museum sector at least since the late
80s if not earlier. They have all deployed many large-scale multichannel
soundscape installations, usually working in conjunction with architects
and building designers. The works that I am aware of often have
24+channels of diffusion. Some works accross whole buildings, with
spatialisation paths traversing levels. The works often involve
algorithmic/generative sequencing. You could contact each of them for
more details regarding specific works.
