Spatialisation for Installation and Performance Week 9

This week’s class introduced site-specific work. 

My current work is a short film of 4:49 length, produced in stereo and 5.1 channel. I don’t think either of these versions is really suitable for the gallery space. If I were to present the work as an exhibition, I would make a surround sound version, about eight channels. The ideal space I envisage is a small and dark room with a chair or single sofa in the middle of the room. Behind the chair would be a vinyl record player, with only the sound of vinyl rubbing against stylus, no music. Eight speakers are in a circle around the chair, with a screen in front of it. The room is not completely dark, there is one light in the each corners of the room. There is a dim warm yellow light source in the each corner of left and a dim cool blue light source in the each corner of right.
