Bouzouki Dub [demo]

Audio piece for the the Soundctuary [音廟] (www.facebook.com/soundctuary) 

Re-verb is a concept that explores new ways to tell stories with significance such as testimonies, historic events or personal memories. It alters the format, by which a story is told by mixing the pure data or story with contemporary music and sound effects, aiming at creating a more contemporary medium to appeal to younger generations and reach a wider audience. The concept goes hand in hand with the story-telling live performances at the Soundctuary, bringing together storytellers with sound artists on stage.

This first concept of Re-verb transforms a list of victims of unjust trials and executions from Taiwan's darker past into a contemporary poem. It hopes to contribute an alternative way of reading a black-on-white list of names. The musical format is inspired by a traditional religious prayer chant, the accompanying sound effects add further emotions that help one imagine the circumstances of those drastic events.

〈殘響〉是一個概念，它探索新的方法去講述具有重要意義的故事，例如證詞、歷史事件或個人記憶。它改變了講述故事的形式，將純粹的數據、故事與當代音樂和聲音特效混合在一起，目的是為了創造一種更現代的媒體，吸引年輕族群，並吸引更廣泛的觀眾。此概念與音廟的敘事表演密切相關，企圖把說故事和聲音表演結合在同一個舞台上。

〈殘響〉的首要概念——將臺灣晦暗的歷史中，不被公正審判且被處決的受害者名單，轉化為當代詩歌。希望能用另一種方式來解讀白紙黑字的名單。音樂形式的靈感來自傳統的宗教祈禱聖歌，伴奏音效增添了更多的情感，以助於人們設想那些劇烈事件的情狀。

Out In Space [demo outtake]

Although being omnipresent in our daily lives, we gradually became accustomed to city noises or chose to ignore them, without questioning their impact on our mental well-being and the overall sonic environment. Noisegate is a collage of irritating noises recorded in Taipei and altered to the extent that it overdoses the listeners perception and resets it -- leading to a state of sonic voidness in the mind, in which one may reflect on our urban environment.

Funfact: the sounds were recorded during the summer of 2021, when the city was relatively quiet due to Taiwans first C19 wave.
