Red Lake Radio

Prod1-Im3

We call it Red Lake Radio because it was developed for a museum in Red Lake, Canada. The scene is 1929 in a wilderness 200 kilometers North of Lake Superior. On the last day of the prospecting mission, as yet unsuccessful, a storm hits and uproots a tree right beside the camp. Low and behold, soapstone! And where there's soapstone, there's gold! This fairy tale event leads to one of the biggest gold rushes ever. Bush plane aviation was invented to service the boom town. Red Lake was the busiest commercial airport in the world that year, believe it or not. Our job? To create some ambience of the boom town life while delivering information. Solution? To set the scenes with radios fitted out with modern technology to sound, and work like, an old radio. Using Mp3 players mixed with on chip sound generators the visitor tunes several channels with noise in between channels. A nice effect, and an electronics challenge.
