Description
This project “In the Round” based on the idea of cracking sound, using sound to disrupt traditional notions of the gallery and our classroom space to interact with their surroundings. In this sound work, I will set up two different size speakers, that the lager speaker is setting in front of the listener, and the lower speaker will place on the back. Therefore, listener able to hear through sound timbre, texture, shape and spatial geometry of my object such as fracture magnitude, fracture location and spatial displacement. Sound is all around us, even when our environment is silent. Sound is all around us, even when our environment is silent. Among the most interesting things about this recording sound are the various sound properties exhibited by the rustling, the murmur and the crackle. In my work, the physical sound created in real time through the material itself is paramount. I recorded the campfire cracking sound; hammer breaking the wood; crushing noodle; plastic battle and can crush sound effect. On the other hand, they also embody a large abstraction, allowing for and even provoking - disparate associations. My work addresses both sound and composition, the physical creation of sound through materials, but also space and its transformation.

This project “Cage” based on the idea sound in the city, listening to the sound around me. Soundscapes are composed of all the sounds around us, the sounds we hear and the ones we make. In today’s cities, the focus is usually on sounds perceived as negative what we generally refer to as “noise”. In the soundscape, I try to layer and connect all the sound with our activates on the busy streets, such as traffic, traffic light, people yelling, and car engine starting, etc. Certain sounds may be very outstanding in my soundscape, I am using fast forward effect on the truck moving, that effect give me an interesting sound. However, I choose me sound piece that I am sitting on the car and the noise is coming from outside. I try to capture these unwanted sounds is blocking by special windows, that attempt to cancel them. Therefore, I am using the picture I photograph at Quarry Bay 'Monster Building' Hong Kong, 2017.  People and skyscrapers are on busy streets. In particular, a huge building provides amazing visual effects for its huge population. Its various units are stacked together to form a colorful. However, I want to bring out the apartments and other residential properties became densely populated, forming a concrete beehive in Hong Kong. In addition, I set the mood and contrast for the picture and soundscape with background music, but since it’s a slower, more sad tone. For this project, I am inspiring by "Blade Runner", 1982, thee is creating sound of the future, it will be out, jumbled, and wet metropolis. But it gives me this sense that creates an atmosphere, a mood tone.
