>The Ultrasound of Therapy.

>
>Inspired by the ancient French hospital 'La Salle des Malades" the
>installation mimics a clinical environment. First visitors details are
>taken, then they will be admitted to a cubicle, complete with hospital bed,
>where artist 'doctors' and 'nurses' will treat their 'patients' with
>personalised sound therapies, ranging from relaxing, and energising to
>slightly disturbing. In addition to the individual therapeutic sounds, an
>overall acoustic is created for the whole space, unifying it into one
>immersive sound installation. This sound will be transmitted to radios
>mounted in the space, speakers in the room and to special bass shakers
>mounted under the beds.
>
>The installation will be launched at Cornerhouse on the 23 June to coincide
>with the launch of SAN Expo festival (23 June - 26 June). It will then run
>until the 30th July.
>
>Cornerhouse and Sonic Arts Network are calling for volunteers to act as
>'doctors' during the installation's run.
>
>Volunteers will need to be 'trained' during the Expo festival by members of
>Staalplaat Sound System.
>
>This is a rare opportunity to be involved in the staging of the UK debut of
>The Ultrasound of Therapy, an installation which is sure to make a huge
>impact as part of Cornerhouse and SAN's international exhibition of sonic
>art.
