Sound installations and other sorts of entertainment/educational experiences that involve sound could be quite challenging and rewarding. Projecting sound in a physical space with physical props/objects/nontraditional means rather than through a regular TV or theatre is a different sort of fascinating beast.
This month of June 2017 we would like to highlight any and all sorts of “sound installations and theme park experiences.” Please share with us your thoughts with this medium outside of our usual realm of coverage.

I am a young live sound engineer and sound designer. I am definitely interested in working any kind of sound job, in a theme park. Living in Florida, I am not too far from the “theme park capital of the world”. Does any one have any experiences they may have, of working at a theme park? Thank you.

multi-channel sound installations at pubic swimming pools above and below the surface… not a theme park but a theme place… for sports and recreation. The music is directed towards a feeling of displacement changing the context of the space underwater
Hi Jack!
For my art degree show I created an 8 channel sound installation. Having experceived works like “Momentum” by United Visual Artists (at Barbican, London, UK) I think sound installations are a fantastic way to immerse audiences in sound experiences. More and more contemporary art galleries are seeing the potential sound has an art medium which I think is very exciting. Maybe there could be an article on this?
Hope you’re having a great day :)
