總結:This article follows the installation of a sound art project titled Pleasure Garden in a historic garden in Sydney, Australia. Discussing various activities, from laying cables to mixing the installation, I argue that an ethnographic perspective can deepen our sense of what is meant when sound art is described as a "practice."
