Breaking the silence with the trolleys, the explorers search for sounds from the quiet copper wires with magnets; Witnessing the anonymous soundscapes as they become the protagonist in the search for auditory landmarks, with the ever-evolving maps inspecting the city's imagination, we unveil the auditory in both its grand scale and intricate minutiae.

15mins performance
Technical Support: Lazarus Chan
Year: 2024

The mini 15 minutes performance transcends traditional boundaries to merge audio-visual elements and offers an immersive experience for the audience. The sound clips are transformed from the very fabric of community ambient soundscape to audio-tech of signals that trigger the video images in LED video wall. The integration of sound and video in the screen showcase the hybrid forms of LED display technology and artistic expression.

Utilising audio-visual signals captured in the community, artists will showcase how their materiality, made audible through listening in response to atmospheric variations and tech aspects, can metamorphose into the very stage of performance that becomes the prelude of “Soundscape of Loudmouth”.
