While a long way off, I've started imagining the pieces of the installation suspended from the ceiling with most of their production requirements underway. What I haven't thought until this morning was about the back of the piece.
When prototyped at BWAC, I used speaker fabric purchased from Speakerworks. The price was excellent and the product seemed to work out fine. However, its elasticity made it sag horribly no matter how tightly it was stretched. I was told by a fine speaker manufacturer that is the idea of the material: that it should stretch around curves and cones depending on the design of the speaker.
So now the quest is to either find a way to use this particular fabric, perhaps stretched over a frame or finding another material that allows sound to pass with minimum filtration.
