The title of this continuous, almost three-hour-long spatial sound work is aida which in Japanese means \u201cthe space between things\u201d or simply \u201cbetween\u201d. In Lithuanian, \u201caida\u201d is the feminine form of the noun \u201cecho\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the vast space of the exhibition hall this soundtrack was played on a very low volume, barely detectable by the visitors, who mainly reported that the sensation of the sound\u2019s presence was something of a ghostly emanation from the visual artworks on display. During the opening of the exhibition, the chatter of the crowd completely absorbed the soundtrack, once again raising the question of functionality of the accessory sound design in a visual art show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cronicaelectronica.org\/234\/\">Aida<\/a><\/em> is now available to stream or download from Cr\u00f3nica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aida was created as a ten-channel soundtrack for the exhibition Beauties, Ghosts, and Samurai: The Japanese Pop Culture Tradition from Edo Ukiyo-e to Manga, Anime, and S\u016bp\u0101 Furatto in the 20th and 21st Centuries (curated by dr.
