Scoping Out the Audio Foundation

Originally we all wanted to have water features incorporated into the design using perspex plastic, but we soon came to the conclusion that incorporating these on the stairs would be next to impossible. And with all honesty, it would not have been unnecessary in conceying our idea to the audience (as awesome as it would have looked). We also had no idea on how we would go about placing the tubing on the stairwell, we took EVERYTHING into consideration including the ceiling. If we were to do this then we would have to construct a board that  would be able to support the weight on the pipes and suspend them above the audience. However, I anticipated that there would be a few drops of water falling from the tubes due to the holes of the keyboard hack. Not only was that a major con, but we also felt it neccessary that the audience be in close contact with the pipe and actually be able to see how it all worked. If we were to spiral the tubes down the railing it also gave off the idea that as people decend down the stairs, they are decending into a zone where the normalities of the outside world do not apply. We measured out the lengths and finally had a concrete idea to work off. It was only uphill from here on (or so I thought).
