BBC World Service Programmes - Save Our Sounds

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.

《房間》與聲境

《房間》與聲境是李智良新書《房間》的一個跨媒界的藝術項目...

關乎城市的病態,更關乎承載此種病態的「城市病體」。

「城市」無孔不入,連一個人在自己的房間中最私密的時光、最幽微婉轉的情意,亦必得劃進條件與法理的管轄,因為看守自己的人正是囚犯自己。如是,城市中、房間中,我們聽見甚麼?聽不見甚麼?

以《房間》為題,幾位獨立音樂人與聲音藝術家(包括麥海珊、Sin:Ned、Ahshun、 Beatrix Pang、Yammie Chan及Wesley Tang 等)將在城市各處場景收錄、採集環境音效,進行創作與挪移,藉聲音穿透,作跨藝術形式的回應。
