A week to go before we, the production team behind the Boy You Turn Me sound installation, test the audio set up for the piece inside Birmingham’s Pavilions shopping centre ready for this October’s Birmingham Book Festival.
This week is all about gathering the most appropriate equipment: 8 high quality speakers, a DVD player, an amplifier and loads of cables, leads and bits and bobs are needed. Having never worked on such a techie art project before I am relying on the expertise of our sound technician Peter.
He knows loads about setting up sound installations having worked with local radio stations in Birmingham including setting them up in schools as well as festivals and live music events.
So tasked with Peter’s recommended list I am off to purchase the goods – Birmingham has some great resources for this in Superfi and Digital Village. Off I go to see what deals they can do…
