There was also an upstairs where there was a solo experience available for each visitor.

This was provided by SONIC ARMCHAIR :

a 1950's armchair with 8 speakers installed inside it, and a remote control for each sitter to play a specially made work by Kaffe. The piece for this show was "....for Doris Whincopp": deep-layered and circular, which vibrated through and around the sitter massaging in shifting layers and patterns. A penetrating bass underneath, with two patterns gliding left to right at different speeds across the shoulders and the lower back and kidneys, the high frequencies buzzing circular around the ears. Visitors queued on the stairs all day to have a ride.
"This magical armchair, successfully perverts an every day object and action into an extraordinary journey.
Every home should have one. "

The Glasgow Herald
July 1997
