Octophony

"Laholms Ljudpark" consisted of 8 separate loudspeakers set at 100 to 400 meters from each other along the river bed.
Depending on where the listener was standing the rhythmic relationships changed and calculations involving the speed of sound had to be included in the composition process.

In "Laholms Ljudpark" custom built megaphones with extremely high coefficient of direction were used. This was a requirement for taking advantage of all of the possibilities that the octophonic soundscape could offer.
