The sound for 'Smedaholmen Tourist (with Amplifiers)' consisted of organ-like chords, bowed guitar (an electric guitar bowed with a small violin bow), and a small spun speaker. The harmonic material for the organ-like chords (guitar chords through a guitar pedal that sounds like a cheap organ) are generated from a number of Norwegian Hardinger fiddle tunings, using only the notes from the sympathetic or resonant strings that form the chords. These chords, a total of six different pre-recorded tunings, were heard out of the right and left buoys as a stereo sound. The bowed guitar was amplified by the middle buoy and by the swinging-speaker. Swinging a speaker on a short cable creates an effect similar to a Leslie speaker's use of the Doppler effect (the swinging-speaker was four inches in diameter and was powered by a small guitar amp).
