A very interesting show is taking place at Artengine in Ottawa right now where Tim Hecker and Marla Hlady have been commissioned to create 5.1 surround audio compositions for a 45 min bus tour. Nite Ride is a "permanent sound installation for car stereos" that plays "over the course of a specific driving route which the artists have mapped out for the audience."

Marla Hlady Surround Sound Loop Experience 8PM and 10PM, October 24th-31st
