Audio

There are up to three different audio sources in a mid to large scale installation:

• The sound from the individual computer stations during website viewing,
• The three 'Dreadful Songs' (CD), which play in a loop. This CD is provided as part of the exhibition, and is to play continuously as a form of ambient sound when the gallery is open to the public,
• The sound from one additional computer station or projection that contains Artists in Residence, Frenkel's CBC radio work introducing and providing context to The Institute™.

The Institute™ provides all audio equipment for the computer stations, and the gallery is asked to provide a small portable stereo system on which to play the "Dreadful Songs" CD.

As with lighting, sound balance is usually fine-tuned right up to show opening, striving to achieve an ambient mix of music, voices, and other sound sources.
