The artist leads students into the community, using recording equipment to collect and document sounds from Lek Yuen and the urban environment. Beyond learning sound recording and editing techniques, students participate in creative sound design, jointly conceiving and producing their own “Lek Yuen Sound Map”. The recorded results will be shared on the international sound map platform Radio Aporee, allowing people worldwide to hear Lek Yuen’s local sounds and stories. In the workshop’s final phase, students will combine recordings with personal imagination to create a series of distinctive sound installations scattered throughout the exhibition space, inviting audiences to rediscover and listen to their own community in new ways.

Artist Introduction

Peter Wong Tsz-kin

Peter Wong Tsz-kin is an audio engineer, sound artist, and field recordist rooted in Hong Kong. He graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) Degree in Theatre and Entertainment Arts, majoring in Sound Design. Peter firmly believes that sound is a powerful tool for experiencing the world, and on this foundation explores various possibilities for creating novel and moving artistic works. In 2021, Peter founded WAVINCITY – Hong Kong Urban Soundscape Recording Project, capturing and documenting human soundscapes through field recording, allowing listeners to experience the urban landscapes produced in different scenes while making the recordings available as creative material. In 2023, he transformed two years of collected field recordings into “Echoes of Urban Memory”, a sonic installation experience designed and arranged with his team, constructing a unique journey exploring the relationships between sound, memory, and identity. Subsequently, in 2025, Peter created the soundscape installation “Reverberations and Illusions”, reinterpreting and reconstructing urban soundscapes through spatial audio systems and real-time generated imagery. The installation explores the possibility of seeking tranquillity amid the clamour and guide audiences to reconsider the meaning of sound then reflect on their own perception and experience in urban environments. Additionally, Peter creates instrumental music with the name Same Departure, he composes and produces tracks—he released the mini-album “The Journey Begins Here” in 2019. He is also a member of local post-rock band CHAN is Swimming, which released their self-titled album “CHAN is Swimming” in 2023.
