Oren Ambarchi (AU)
Crys Cole (CAN)
Jana Winderen (N)

For the 10th edition of Scaniaparken S.S. presents a sound installation by norwegian artist Jana Winderen created from field recordings made on site both over and under water. As last years installation by Lucier/Wellmer directed our attention to the inaudible sounds of the spheres, Winderen inverts the parabolic of the park to an ear towards the depth of Öresund.

The unique event will host two concerts and a duo performance by the influential Australian guitarist Oren Ambarchi and the canadian sound artist Crys Cole on electronics. Ambarchi has a well stated reputation performing with Keiji Haino, Jim O´Rourke and Sunn O))) among others. Cole is an improvising musician from Canada, playing with people like Keith Rowe and experimenting on the border between intentionality and unintentionally. As a coincidence, this is the principal idea of the concert series, directing the attention of the audience to the relation between the natural sounds of the site, the landscape and the music of the performers.

Welcome! The concerts are free of charge.
The installation runs until 2 october (plays 24 hours)

Park History

1991 Designed by landscape architect Jörgen Carlsson for Malmö Stad
1995 Addition of a fire pit due to peoples need of making fires..
1999 Addition of the sound system by Bosse Andersson as public space intervention (playing jazz/pop music)
2002 The first live performances initiated by F Gillberg
2004 The first sound installations initiated by Mathias Holmberg and F Gillberg (for sound magazine LAIKA)
2006 The first site specific music selection in the permanent soundfeed by F Gillberg

The setting, general observations
The Scania Park is an approximately 900 meter long strip along the very edge of the new peninsula of Malmö. The park is narrow consisting of a approximately 75 meter wide lawn with an edge of shrubberies towards the inland and containing geometrically shaped earth volumes. The park lacks any imitation of natural shapes and appears as a sculptural and artificial landscape. The very core of the park, and the secret to be discovered as you conquer the large walking distance (approximately 250-500 meter from parking and housing) is a large earth mound at the peak of the peninsula featuring the hidden sound system. The setting is generally percieved as still, focused and isolated. The mound has the clear gesture of an observatory, enhancing perception in general. Its parabolic shape is collecting distant sounds while shutting out the sounds of the most immediate surroundings. The system is 2x Stereo (LL-RR), each featuring 6 Bose outdoor speakers reproducing a surprising sound. As the speakers are hidden in the grass, the sound appears detached from its reproducing speaker system, more experienced as a part of the site itself.

The Landfill
The whole peninsula is a landfill built in different sequences during the last decade. This was paired with the industrial expansion and the needs of the shipbuilding company of Kockums who were in close cooperation with the city of Malmö. Of importance is that this specific territory was filled out as recently as in the 1980s, marking the turn of industrialism. This fact is emblematic to the area and denotes this land as a new experimental territory, an heterotopia which gives symbolic and emotional bias to the experience of the site.

Scaniaparken Permanent Soundfeed

Since 2006 a special mix is prepared for the mound by Starfield Simulation / F GIllberg.
The selection of sounds and music are all aiming for a site specific resonance with the landscape image and the environmental sounds of wind, water, airplanes, voices etc.. The mix can be heard every day, all year around.
