Hello all,

Apologies for the ot post; I've got my final thesis show coming up in early April and I'm doing all sound work using Pd. The gallery space I am using is actually quite poor for acoustics, as it's got a concrete floor and metal roofing. It's relatively small though - two hallways each about 10 feet by 30 feet large (3 by 9 meters if you like) making a "T" shape. I would like to do two 4 channel sound installations, perhaps one for each hallway.

I know there are many sound scientists and artists on the list so I thought I would ask if anyone knows of resources to look at for dealing with these kinds of issues? How are other artists sorting these things out? Any links or recommendations would be very helpful. Low ends tend to get very muddy and the highs and mids spill all over the place. Are there certain tricks I could use in mixing or placement/kinds of speakers to preserve the highs and mids better in a difficult space? This might be a difficult question since you can't hear the piece in person, but even general advice would be very helpful.

Also if any of you have documentation of your own installations, I would love to see them.

Thanks! Kevin
