Save Our Sounds is a BBC World Service Programmes on urban soundscape, endangered sounds and sound design. In the end of Episode 1 and in Episode 2, you will find me and other Hong Kong artists talking about urban soundscape and endangered sounds....
Episode 1: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p003jk13 (currently on-line)
Save our sounds: In the first programme, acoustician Trevor Cox joins a soundwalk in central London and explores the world of acoustic ecology. Trevor meets artists and city planners to discuss how sound influences our lives and affects our well being. Are cities getting noisier or is it just that we're losing the quieter places we once had – the back streets and urban squares where citizens can go for a respite from the wall of noise? How has the soundscape in London changed and what sounds are in danger of being lost in the future?
Episode 2: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p003lqz3 (will be available next week)
Trevor Cox continues his exploration of the urban soundscape as part of the BBC’s Save our Sounds project.
Today, Trevor meets scientists from the Positive Soundscape Project attempting to influence the future sounds of our cities; and he travels to Hong Kong to meet artists campaigning to save the acoustic heritage of old neighbourhoods, under threat from for commercial redevelopment.

Parallel Audiosphere - on different approaches to music & sound creation
多媒體講座系列
平行音域 － 音樂 / 聲音 創作的不同方向
Parallel Audiosphere - on different approaches to music & sound creation
主持：袁智聰
不同的創作方向，發現不同的聲音從各自的創作領域，到影響他們的聲音、音樂及藝術帶你經驗再不一樣的聆聽國度
領域一
聲影共同體 – 實驗聲與畫之間
In Sync – Exploration on audio visual collaboration
講者： S.T. (蔡世豪)
25.07 (六) (粵語主講)
今時今日，當幾乎所有音樂演出都加入錄像作為背景的時候，聲與影之間的合作，還有什麼可能？回溯聲影結合的源頭，從音樂遇上錄像、從首個以幻燈片製造視覺效果的音樂會說起，到Club House舞池必經的VJ時代、以至互動概念多媒體包羅萬有的聲影結合現場表演，追蹤聲影如何交叉感染，交纏發展。S.T.單人匹馬，同時包辦音樂與影像創作於一身，他將會展示創作上的探索，同時分享他的至愛作品。
* * *
領域二
聲之錬金術 - 釋放平凡物件的不凡聲音
Sonic Alchemy - Releasing unusual sounds from usual objects
講者： Sin:Ned (黃仲輝)
26.07 (日) (粵語主講)
手機、Gameboy、收音機會發聲，不足為奇。但搖遙控器和滑鼠，以至其他估不到的電子器材，原來通通都會發聲，而且當樂器演奏。將慣見的樂器及演奏器材惡搞一番，以另類玩法發揮它們的潛在可能，產生的聲音亦可叫人驚喜。Sin:Ned沉迷於發掘不同的發聲器具與技巧，他將即席示範，並介紹更多同道瘋狂創作人如何以破格的想像力，實驗出更多更奇異的音樂形態。
* * *
領域三
不只音樂，非但劇場 – 找尋音樂與劇場的不同接合點
More than Music, Not Just Theatre – Finding new possibilities in connection between music and theatre
講者： 龔志成
01.08 (六) (粵語主講)
音樂介入劇場，豈只古典歌劇與百老匯式音樂劇，現代音樂與劇場在過去幾十年的不斷碰撞，以音樂接合戲劇舞蹈文字錄像舞台裝置等多元媒介，使「音樂劇場」在過去三十年裡，成為前衞表演藝術的重要流派。回顧重要的音樂劇場作品，包括Robert Wilson 及 Laurie Anderson等，在探索前衞音樂劇場演進的同時，龔志成將以創作人的角度，分享他如何實驗結合不同音樂類型的予劇場表演。
* * *
領域四
玩聲工程 – 以有限音響技術實驗無限聲效可能
Sonic Fascination - Expanding the canvas for music composition
講者： 袁卓華
02.08 (日) (粵語主講)
未知科技是否改善了生活，但它絕對改變了創作及聆聽音樂的經驗。音響器材及錄音技術對流行或現代音樂都帶來舉足輕重的影響。音響技術帶來創作上的方便，亦會帶來另一番局限。創作人以實驗精神，發掘意想不到的方法去把玩這些音響技術，結果製造出超乎想像的音效。袁卓華將從他在音響設計及建築聲學上的研究作介入，展示音響工程這一門藝術，如何不斷突破本身的規限。
* * *
領域五
不一樣聆聽 – 從田野錄音探索環境以至不同聲域的經驗
Ways of Listening - Environmental sound and our relation to the sonic world
講者： Cedric Maridet
09.08 (日) (英語主講，附主持人部份粵語介紹 )
從城市到大自然，其實每刻都充滿聲音，只是有些聲音可能從沒被察覺及聆聽得到。以不同的田野錄音方法及技術伸展人們的耳朵，Cedric Maridet 將會展示不同聆聽環境聲音的方式，讓你重新經驗這個充滿聲音的世界，發現從未聆聽過的聲音，與及如何以此作為起點去創作聲音藝術作品。他會以不同的聲音藝術創作形式及作品作引入，同時介紹個人的聲域探索和實驗。

About Lona Records
Set up in 2003, Lona Records is an independent label in Hong Kong preoccupied with producing alternative/experimental music.
In December 2005, we launched a series of 3" CDR singles as an attempt to explore the aesthetic boundaries of experimental sound. Each 3" CDR or 3" DVDR features musical/multi-media works by independent artists from across the world, including the U.K., U.S., Italy, Sweden, mainland China, and Hong Kong etc. Each volume is released in a limited numbered edition of 50. From droning to clicks n' cuts, from glitch to avant-garde, from ambient to extreme noise, we venture off the beaten path and bring all sorts of exciting sounds to a worldwide audience.
Alongside the 3" series we also release CDs in larger size and quantity, which include the official album Hou Guan Yin of FM3 + Dou Wei from Beijing , the first official album She Traded Her Leg of Jeffrey Bützer from the United States, and the debut EP and album of The Yours from Hong Kong.
成立於2003年的獨立音樂廠牌Lona Records，由資深獨立音樂人Alok主理，一直旗幟鮮明地專注於實驗／另類音樂的製作及發行。自2005年底，Lona Records開展了一個3吋singles的系列，四出招惹世界各地的實驗音樂人，讓他們發表自己的實驗成果。在短短一年間，這系列的出品已累積至20多張，合作過的音樂人來自五湖四海，包括英國、美國、意大利、瑞典、挪威、中國大陸等，當然也少不了來自香港本地的朋友。在3吋系列以外，亦出版了多張官方專輯，包括FM3和竇唯的《后觀音》、Jeffrey Bützer的《She Traded Her Leg》和The Yours的首張EP《Abraham》。

Review of Ghost Feeding Vessel & LINGK
Two Nice reviews from Heathen Harvest:
Sin:Ned / Nerve - Ghost Feeding Vessel
This is a split release between Sin:Ned and Nerve.
This split album from Hong Kong locals Sin:Ned and Nerve is a recorded performance on the eve of the Chinese Ghost Festival as accompaniment to a multimedia installation of video projection by two other artists at the Para/Site Art Space. It is a spatially haunting piece endemic to both region and intention – discernibly Asian and noticeably supernal.
The quality of the single track that sheds skin and phantasmagoria over a little less than forty minutes is to be commended for a live recording, the electronics so pristine they finely shave away all low-fi or hazed excesses yet despite the digital crystallisation is not frigid.
Intended to serve as a bridge those in this world and those in the next, ‘Ghost Feeding Vessel’ is thankfully not a dolorous drone of decay and depression for it is far too electric and chaotic. Bell chimes limn the air like the fragrance of jasmine, delicate and almost imperceptible; flutes flit and dart in Asian scale tones down to their quarters as swift as the smallest of winged birds; gongs explode showers of golden dust; even the more electronic oscillating susurrations are treated with a light deftness and inveigle the senses. Sounds coalesce and crescendo in attempt to force embrasure.
Several movements collate ‘Ghost Feeding Vessel’ with the middle section less ghostly than the lead-in as electronic glitches patter little rhythms with the sampled noise of dust. The last movement, however, seems to step away from the realms of spirits and becomes mired in an urban maelstrom of squalling frequencies and rapid and uncontrolled leaps of percussion. This detraction seems to close more than open the aperture into the formless.
The album is a limited affair, one-hundred CDr copies are presented better than the average slap-together, with a black silk-screen coated disc (quite a rarity for a CDr) and heavy gloss card in full colour. An intriguing symmetrical icon burns an optical illusion with lens flare that has your pupils dilating. (symbolique)

No One Pulse - LINGK
The Hong Kong duo of Wong Chung-fai (Sin:ned, Music Colony Bi-Weekly Magazine) and Chau Kin-wai (Sleepatwork) recording as No One Pulse, specialise in conceptually minimalistic, but broadly-painted, soundscapes, utilising electronic blips, hums and squeaks. In their own terms these are micro-sound experiments and “freeform” electronics, collated and built from both studio-based and live recordings. There are hints of a certain formalism to some of the microstructural minutiae of the compositions, but above and beyond that the pair introduce elements of random interpolations and chaotic improvisation. This is not to imply any Stockhausen-style atonality is present – rather, in much the same way that matter behaves in the real world, structures are allowed to emerge out of the randomicity without attempting to confine the music into any theoretical straitjacket. What we have then could be said to mimic the natural processes, albeit on a smaller scale, that form the bedrock of material existence around us.
I have to advise that I use the word minimal very loosely here – the sounds employed are in essence very few in number, but stack themselves up in successive layers to produce a convoluted complexity. Random concatenations, microscopic detonations and explosions, sheets of accelerated particles, high-energy sonic excitations, and hums, clicks and squeals – these are the fundamental particles that surge and flow, that collide and split, and form the basis of No One Pulse’s musical discourse. It’s never loud or harsh, although sometimes the drones and squeals have a habit of drilling into the head, just like some neutrino ploughing through miles of rock.
Indeed, the sounds on here remind me very much of the ‘music of the spheres’, created through both macro and micro-scale processes, picked up and recorded by radio astronomers – the constant flux of creation caught in spectral sound. It’s like the pair have journeyed through the heart of star-fields and galactic nurseries, sailed into vast dust-clouds of energetic radioactivity or flown past extra-solar planetary systems, all the while pointing sensitive antennae at them and recorded the fluttering, the whistling, the crackling, the humming and the heartbeats of black holes and galaxies hidden in the airlessness of space. And in between the interstices of sound there is space, eternal light-years of hyperactive nothingness, bristling with unseen and unfelt energies. Above all one gets the impression, the certain feeling in fact, of vast limitless expanses, where the stars and galaxies are on the same scale to the universe as atoms and subatomic particles are to our human comprehension. Little islands of coagulated matter clump together here and there, accreting and spinning, before amassing sufficient to form new systems and worlds.
Simultaneously, one can also envisage a journey through the particle-rich quantum world, which in its own way can be considered as just another universe itself, albeit compacted into an infinitesimally small space, but still an analogue of the bigger one. Therefore I wouldn’t be surprised, should we develop sensitive enough instruments, that we detect a similar subatomic symphony, equally as energetic and equally as noisy. And No One Pulse’s entirely naturalistic soundtrack can just be as fittingly applied to that scale as it can to its opposite. In that sense, it’s truly a work that encompasses the entire spectrum of creation in its scope.
It would be true to say, then, that experimental music has not only a global reach, but in this particular case can actually encompass whole worlds, from the small to the galactic. LINGK contains it all, condensing the whole spectrum into a palatable form, while simultaneously moulding it into a work of abstract beauty. The near-lightspeed blasts of particles no human eye could possibly ever see, the lightyears-long tendrils of starstuff left over from supernovae or the massive columns of gas and dust serving as the wombs of new stars; who would have thought that you could have shoehorned that lot onto a disc of plastic only 5” in diameter.
