The video installation St Cecilia comprises the following two video projectors suspended from the ceiling each projecting separate one left one right side by side videos that meet in the center The videos are on two DVDs that play on Pioneer Industrial DVD players Also hung from the ceiling are a pair of Audio Spotlight speakers each playing separate soundtracks the tracks can be heard clearly only when standing directly beneath the speakers The videos are synched with a Dave Jones synchronization unit The two videos contain footage of a choir singing as do the soundtracks All of the aforementioned equipment was acquired specifically for this piece per the artists instructions A subwoofer speaker placed at the wall directly beneath the projected video plays the low end of the soundtracks making the choirs voices audible but the words indiscernible as one approaches A floor rug is positioned beneath the speakers both to aid acoustics and to tacitly lead audience members to stand on it and therefore discover and listen to the separate soundtracks
