Solid (About the Relationship)

The traditional Chinese family relationship is viewed as intimate and manipulative, and often said to be ‘rightfully so’. In my opinion, “everyone has their own Chinese style”, so I interviewed many Chinese children and parents to collect their voices and thoughts as a novel memorial and record this kind of thinking and this way of transformation to the variety of Chinese families. 

Solid uses the voices of the interviewees about their Chinese families. The music is a Musique Concréte, which uses real-time vocal samples to implement the concept that all voices are created equal; the music is also combined with a large number of sine waves generated by an electronic sound oscillator. In my opinion, perceptual Electro-acoustic music in the abstract art of sound boosts the audience’s receptivities to the message artists want to convey.

Fluid (About Memories)

Memory is fluid and transformative. The intangibility and plasticity of memory allows us to communicate a new way of making memories visible through sound as it conveys information through its structure and content.

Fluid includes numerous natural samples with minimal remix variables to excite the feeling of depth in auditory perceptions and the fluidity of memory. The water droplets are especially interesting given that malleability of fluids can be fully expressed via the rendering of such. The audio sample is divided into three parts without a strong feeling of conclusion, conveying the idea of fluidity to an open ending.
