Huang Home Soon is a self-reflective and performative sound piece based on British Chinese citizen Huang Lei and his journey to Syria in 2015, to where he is today, in the city of Afrin. 

The piece explores his arrival to northern Syria by sea, his act of solidarity across borders and sense of duty to protect the Kurdish people from ISIS and now shockingly the Turkish state. 

In Afrin with the People's Protection Units (YPG) and Women's Protection Units (YPJ), on the dawn of an attack by the Turkish fascist state, the performance traces Lei's ambitions of going home, back to Manchester, after the liberation of the Kurdish people.

The performance uses a soundtrack by British Vietnamese-Chinese rapper Triad God, YouTube field recordings, the sound pocket archive, improvisation and a Yamaha PSS-170 (purchased at Shiroto No Ran recycle shop - a stone's throw away from Nantoka Bar where Nusantao Soundscapes was streamed from).
