The radiation room.

An insulated, closed small space with Jay and Bhakti enduring small amounts of radiation from blacklights and playing dueling drumsets for three straight hours. The drumming can be heard loudly in the main space as the sound travels through the air duct and reflects off of the diorama creating an area of surround sound.
