S(urr)ounding Project
As its title – ‘S(urr)ounding’, including three words: sound, your, and surrounding, this project is focused on the discovery of soundscape around us, besides, to transform it into music with the original, musical quality of soundscapes. Instead of “sampling” the sound and cut it into pieces, this project attempts to retain what we really hear, maintain the atmosphere of the space and preserve the original sounding environment. Let the music arrangement grows on the irregular rhythm of the nature soundscape. It’s based on digital composing, however it’s highly expected to create connections to the listeners through their awareness, imagination and common memories.
聲音環境的組成是複雜的有機體
自然存在我們之間 因為貼得很近而不被注意
於是想建一座音樂的橋 拉開它和日常的距離
也得以走進各地 用聽的風景
