UR PRE SSMEDDELANDET
Med början 6 juni 2006 installeras en specialkomponerad ljud- och musikmix för Scaniaparken som kommer att spelas varje dag mellan 10-12 och 22-00. Musiken är sammansatt av växelverkande electronica, stråk-, pianomusik och elektronisk ljudkonst i dialog med platsens egna
karaktärer. Musiken utvecklas långsamt i samspel med parkens ljudbild, dess väder- och vindskiftningar
och förmedlar en ny upplevelse av platsen och utforskar sambandet mellan musik, landskap och landskapets bildliga representationer. Scaniaparken är en helt unik plats som här ges möjlighet till ett fullt uttryck. Som konstskribenten och radiomannen Tor Billgren skriver i Nöjesguiden
2005: “De som varit på Starfield Simulations konserter förstår att platsen har stora outnyttjade potentialer, sensationsvärdet här är lika stort som stenbrottsoperan Dalhalla i Rättvik eller som Mimerlaven i Norberg. Vilken annan konsertlokal har samma förutsättingar?”

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 and Gunnar Ericson as public space intervention (playing jazz/pop music)
2002 The first live performances initiated by Frans Gillberg
2004 The first sound installations initiated by Mathias Holmberg and Frans Gillberg (for sound magazine LAIKA)
2006 The first site specific music selection in the permanent soundfeed by Frans Gillberg
The setting, general observationsThe 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.
