Live performance in Lacking Sound Festival.

Insomnia

It's heavily raining. Raining in time flow, raining in timelessness.

Summer, August 2009. 
For recording the most important ritual "homeyaya" of Tsou (Aboriginal people in Taiwan), my collaborator Yannick and I were stranded in the mountain (Alishan) because of Typhoon Morakot, which is the most serious typhoon in Taiwan during fifty years.

No electricity, no water, lack of food, more and more people were sick, more than 100 tourists (people who are not Tsou from outside) were stuck in the mountain, sharing very few food with more than 2000 Tsou people in the same village.

It kept raining overwhelmingly for three whole days. The sound of flood and the sound of heavy rain falling on the iron roofs stopped all the other sounds. What we could hear was only the sound of landslides, stones rolling in the river. The river didn't sound like a river. Until the third day or fourth day, birds and insects started to sing again, animal sounds made us feel alive.  

Rain destroyed all the roads connecting Tsou tribes with outside, rain broke down some houses, rain brought away bridges, farms, tea gardens, stones, fishes… This rain changed the mountain a lot. A birdwatcher friend told us: "The god of land will have his way to deal with."

Time is running with rain and flood. Time is stuck in the rain and flood as well.

觀音 GuanYin (On Site Festival 2015)

*《水上樂園》於台北國際藝術村展覽現場紀錄（節錄），原為多聲道裝置。
* The documentation of my solo exhibition  'Waterland' at Taipei Artist Village, please note it's an excerpt from multi-channel sound installation.

I create my art works mainly with field recordings, and I am fascinated with water sounds. For example, the ocean sounds vary with different landforms, weather, dates and time. Not only in my own works, but also dance pieces I made sound design for, I often use water sounds.

When I undertook my artist residency in Fremantle in 2015, I lived nearby the sea. The Captain told his long distance sailing story. He felt peaceful and fear in the middle of the sea. All one could see is water.

Watching the stars moving in the sky with their patterns like sun and moon. When the moon is strong, you can see the constellation clearly. Leo, Taurus, Orion. Orion is sailors’favorite, because Orion can guide them the direction without electronic equipments. ‘You know where you are, and you are very small.’ the Captain said.

I listened to that sea days and nights. The sea of Western Australia caused me think of Taiwan, but from all kinds of clues, I know, it’s the sea I’ve never experienced. I started to think about a big issue – As an island as Australia, what’s the relationship between Taiwanese and ocean? From outer and inner perspectives.

Before I finished my residency, I held the exhibition Waterland for the first time at Fremantle Arts Centre. This year, I bring Waterland back to Taiwan with new materials and creation. It’s my exploration for now. Waterland 2016 will exhibit a new work with other previous related works, and aim to interweave some dialogues with water and living beings (including human). This is a topic going to endlessness.

以田野錄音為主要素材創作的這些年，我最著迷於各種水的聲音，譬如同樣是海，在不同地形、氣候、日期、時間下，海本身或者海與周遭環境、存在生物的互動，都造成聲音或大或細微的相異及轉變。不僅在自己的作品中，水聲不是要角也很常成為不可或缺的要素；在合作的舞蹈作品中，也常以水來應對舞蹈的意涵或身體。

2015年在西澳Fremantle駐村期間，在海邊生活了三個月。老船長說著遠洋航行，來到了黑暗無邊的、海的中心，畏懼也平靜，看著星星在天上如同日升月落的運行軌跡，月亮的照映下星座清晰，獅子座、金牛座……，航海人最愛獵戶座，指引他們毋需倚賴電子儀器就能知道方位，「你知道你在哪，而你非常渺小。」他說。

日夜聽著那片海。西澳的海讓我想起台灣，卻又從各種線索都能清楚知道，那是一片我未曾經歷的海。我開始思索一個龐大的議題：同為海島，台灣人與海之間的關係如何？外在及內在的。

駐村結束前，以西澳的素材，在Fremantle Arts Centre首度辦了展覽「Waterland」，今年以相同主題回到台灣重新蒐集素材重新創作。作為階段性的探索，聯同過去幾年在不同機緣下創作的相關作品，希望交織出水和靠水生活的生物（包括人）之間的一點對話，一起想想。這是一個不會完結的主題。

2015 舞蹈秋天 Dance in Autumn
安娜琪舞蹈劇場《去自由》Anarchy Dance Theatre - In Freedom

What's freedom? 
自由是什麼？和編舞者在過程中不斷討論。
自由是有限制的；在自由裡，是有框架的。
在自由裡，嚮往、去向自由。
最後一段，片段回溯了整支舞蹈的聲音。
聲音、燈光、肢體，互相影響、獨立自由、奔向各自的自由時，可能帶領，也可能侷限了他人的自由。

編舞：謝杰樺
表演：邱鈺雯、劉俊德、洪紹晴、蔡冠伶、林貝霓、廖婉琳

去自由 In Freedom

Sound for theater piece 'Ghost: Jhih'. (A cross-cultural collaboration of Australia and Taiwan. In development.)
Improvised with Tristen Parr at Bundanon Trust in 2017.

'She herself is a haunted house. She does not possess herself; 
her ancestors sometimes come and peer out of the windows of her eyes and that is very frightening. 
She has the mysterious solitude of ambiguous states; 
she hovers in a no-man's land between life and death, sleeping and waking.' (Angela Carter, The Lady of the House of Love)

Co-creator/performers: Laura Boynes, Yilin Kong, Yiching Liao, & Hsaio Tzu Tien.

《Baisin 之歌》Song of Baisin 

收錄於同根生樂團同名專輯《同根生》
The piece is included in the album 'Rooty Mental' by A Root.
Inspired by the peom 'Song of Baisin'

詩文/吳緯婷 Poem by Wei-Ting Wu

最近土地瘋長 
就是不長 
所需要的東西 

這一季播種
長出死貓 
下一季播種 
長出野狗的屍骸

Malin 啊 Baisin 
惡靈出沒的 
不潔之地 

界碑走動
山水逆流 
在不知道的地方
趕千里路

不要再搭起一座橋 
不要再倒下一棵樹 
黑暗裡升起 
無數的眼睛

Malin 啊 Baisin 
昏聵的眾星 
紊亂流光之地

平原之人，消失在平原之上 
在自己家裡
蓋上手印
甘願為憑

Malin 啊 Baisin 
太陽依舊升起在 
南方之地

Recently, the land has produced 
Numerous plants except for 
The needed crops.

This season, the seeds we sow Grow into dead cats;
Next season, the seeds we sow Grow into the bodies of wild dogs.

Malin, O’ Baisin, 
Unclean land
Haunted by evil spirits.

Boundary tablets travel and 
Rivers in the mountains flow reversely, 
Hurrying on their ways in nowhere 
For thousands of miles.

Do not build a bridge again, 
Do not cut down a tree anymore. 
From darkness Countless eyes rise.

Malin, O’ Baisin,
Faint and decrepit stars,
Land of glowing moonlight in disorder.

People of the plain disappear from the plain, Staying in their home and 
Stamping their handprints
As a proof of consent.

Malin, O’ Baisin, 
The sun still rises from 
The land of south.

漢人拓墾蘭陽平原，以武力、以風俗巧取噶瑪蘭人土地，噶瑪蘭族因此逐 漸移居花東。如於夜間挪移界碑;或於土地上放置貓狗屍體，噶瑪蘭人相信有 屍體的土地是惡靈汙染之地，稱之為 Malin 或 Baisin，便自動放棄而遷徙。
While cultivating and settling down on Yilan Plain, Han people seized Kavalan people’s land by force and tricks, compelling Kavalan people to gradually migrate to Hualien and Taitung. These tricks include moving boundary tablets and placing cat or dog bodies on their land. Kavalan people believe that a piece of land is polluted by evil spirits if a body is found on it. They call such land “Malin” or “Baisin,” and would give up the land and migrate to other places.

Song of Baisin

Improv in the studio before the day playing with Chris at Mojo's. When I was doing artist residency in Fremantle, Western Australia in 2015. Listening to this sound again reminds me that humid summer.

Recording & editing during the residency in 2012Cheng-Long Wetlands International Environmental Art Project

這是一支雲林縣口湖鄉成龍村的聲音紀錄片，以村裡的養殖漁業工作之聲、溼地聲音及環境音編輯而成。加上現下的聲音與村中長輩的俗諺、詩歌唸唱，試圖回溯一點成龍村產業/生活型態的轉變：外傘頂洲討海，農村，以至於現在的養殖、水產品分級包裝。希望透過對成龍村的再次聆聽，能對這環境與生活有更多注意與想像。

All sounds are recorded in Cheng-long village, Yunlin County, Taiwan.
