Music:
All of our music and audio sequences are programmed into a central controller and backup computer.
The FM Stereo transmitter will start broadcasting its 10 microwatts of power from 9:00pm until 11:30pm each night. The radio transmitter has a range of approximately 100 metres (plus/minus 1km). The outside speakers will switch off automatically at 10:30pm.
The table below shows a selection of music that is planned to be broadcast each evening.

Showtime:
Showtime lasts approximately 45 minutes before the sequence starts again. We deliberately wanted a reasonably large number of pieces of music, so that we don't get sick of it as well... Believe me, in programming each of the lighting sequences we have become intimately aware of every beat of the music, hearing them over and over and over again...
