Octave consists of 300 speakers projecting 300 different frecuencies which are distributed at equal distances and in ascending order at the length of one octave from Do to Do. Each one of the 12 panels in which the piece is divided comprises a semi-tone (one could say that they correspond to the 12 musical notes of an octave on a piano) : the speaker on the bottom left of the first panel makes sounds Do, the second panel Do#, the third Re, and so forth. Beginning with the speaker on the bottom left of each panel, the frecuencies augment with each one, as a result of the twenty-fifth part of a semi-tone, of each speaker precisely above it. Beginning with every speaker on the top of each column, the progression continues in the bottom speaker of the next column.
