Gill Russell’s art Installation in the Scottish Highlands - “Where Long Shadows Fall”

December 20 2011

Audioposts have worked with Gill Russell several times on her outdoor art installations on the Isle of Skye and in the Scottish Highlands. Gill's most recent artwork 'Where Long Shadows Fall' has certainly been the most demanding and required a six channel audio system that was to be powered by batteries, installed outside and operate reliably in the severe Scottish winter weather and at the press of a button. The system also needed to be loud enough to over come the noise of the wind so as to create impact at the centre of the installation. Gill flew six speakers from trees around a central light installation that is buried into the ground but which shines up into the trees at night when activated. The system that we designed turns itself off when not in use and uses very efficient amplifiers to achieve the battery life that is required. Installed by Gill and her colleagues in the snow during November, the installation is best experienced at night. More information about the installation can be found here http://www.longshadows.co.uk . Take a torch and wrap up warm!

Here's what visiting artist Leo Du Feu said about the installation.. here... http://longshadows.co.uk/?cat=3

SÒRN : Audio behind the scenes

Audioposts Ltd have created the audio  hardware for  several of Gills outdoor art installations in the Highlands. They have come up again and again with ingenious, cost effective, high quality and reliable site specific solutions.

In addition, they have provided helpful general technical advice which has proved invaluable in the creation of our innovative audio projects.

The requirements for Sòrn have been the most demanding so far, requiring a  six channel audio system powered by batteries, installed outside to operate reliably in the severe Highland winter weather environment….. and at the press of a button. The system also needed to be loud enough to overcome the noise of the wind in the trees.

The surround sound was  created by Gill using SONAR software and panned around the  six speaker system which is mounted in the trees in a circle surrounding the central light installation.

The audio system turns itself off when not in use and uses very efficient amplifiers to achieve the battery life that is required.  It has already survived severe gales, floods, snow and temperatures of –10 deg.

Once again, we are delighted with the work of our colleagues at Audioposts !
