Artists 藝術家 |Tsang Hoi-yu 曾凱渝
Publisher 出版|soundpocket 聲音掏腰包
Year of publication 出版年份|2023
Language 語言|English, Traditional Chinese 英文,繁體中文

“Sounds on Sounds” by Tsang Hoi-yu is a set of 3 translucent cards, each with a research area set by the artist during her 3-week stay in San Francisco’s Chinatown. For “People”, Yu looked into how the residents of Chinatown defined themselves as part of their community, and their ways of describing themselves. For “Playing”, she recorded sounds that were sonically attractive to her during her discovery of Chinatown. And for “Playground”, Yu presented the 8 streets and 11 alleys in San Francisco’s Chinatown, highlighting different sounds she encountered there, in the form of a map. By stacking the 3 cards together, the sounds represented on each layer are compiled into the artist’s overall listening experience during her temporary stay in the neighborhood.

曾凱渝製作的《聲疊聲》是一冊由三張透明膠片組成的小誌,每張膠片代表藝術家在三藩市華埠駐留三星期期間的研究方向。曾凱渝在「人」的一頁展示了華埠居民如何定義自己,以及在一個社區的角色;在「錄音」一頁,以田野錄音的方式記錄了在華埠令她印象深刻的聲音;在「地圖」一頁,以地圖的方式展示她在三藩市華埠的八街十一巷發現的聲音。把以上三者拼合,聲音疊上聲音,就形成了曾凱渝在該社區短暫停留的聆聽經驗。

“Shape with Things” by Wayne Choi & Joseph Yiu looks into people’s unconscious habits while listening. Wayne doodles when he is immersed in white noise, his drawings are “like an act of unconscious shaping, followed by mindful manipulations” as described by Joseph. The duo review Wayne’s drawings and writings created unconsciously while listening and assemble a collection in the pocket book that also invites readers to experience “the transformation from subconscious to ideation”.

在《隨物賦形》,蔡穎與姚天佑細探當人聆聽時的無意識行為。當蔡穎沉浸在白噪音時,他往往會塗鴉,有如姚天佑形容,蔡穎的畫作「像是一種練習,先無意識地塑造,隨後賦形」。二人重新細看蔡穎無意識間,所畫下的、寫下的,而結集這些聆聽經驗而成的圖文集,將引領讀者一起體會「潛意識至表意識的轉換」。

“dok dat dap dap” by Hsu Wai-lun & So Lai-ping attempts to create a book which is accessible to the visually-impaired, the hearing-impaired and everyone else in the community. The two experiment with the possibility of recalling people’s listening experiences in the rain using different senses. Rain scenes from 17 films are portrayed with visual signs, onomatopoeia and the sense of touch in the pocket book.

在《踱-噠-嗒-嗒》,許維倫、蘇麗平希望創作出一本視障人士、聽障人士,以及應用不同程度感官的人都可以閱讀的書。二人嘗試用不同的感受方式,喚起人們聆聽雨聲的記憶。書中描繪了十七齣電影的下雨場景,讀者可以透過視覺意符、擬聲詞,和親手以觸感感知。

“Hands Up: sound & listening” by So Wai-lam encourages readers to explore their imagination by expressing sound and listening using their hands. Starting off with sign language phrases related to “ears”, people are to discover many close relationships between sign language and graphics. The pocket book is an introduction to Hong Kong Sign Language, one that is so close to us, yet we do not usually talk about it.

蘇瑋琳的《手噏噏:聲音及聆聽篇》鼓勵讀者親自以雙手表達聲音,打開想像。書中以「耳朵」相關的手語字句開卷,讀者將會發現許多手語均與圖像相關。這本小書是為一個楔子,關於香港手語——一個一直在我們身邊,卻鮮有提及的語言。

about caak3 seng1

“People pursue tube amplifier, listen to vinyl records, etc. The reason for these behaviors is that these equipment can produce sound with the feelings of ‘warmth’ and ‘truthfulness’. In fact such feelings come from the uneven shape of thorn-like ripples. Modern electric guitarists certainly understand this endless pursuit of the quality of sound: We can spend a lifetime to use different instruments as medium to search for the ideal ‘distortion’, ─ that is ‘caak3 seng1’ in Cantonese.” – Ahkok Wong

Ahkok Wong is a musician, author, and lecturer, and he used to live in an industrial building. He is also active in social movements. He has been a prolific writer, having published in local newspapers, magazines and digital media. “caak3 seng1” is a collection of selected articles that focuses on music, band ecology, communities in industrial areas and related government policies. Multiple engagements of Ahkok allow him to explore and comment on different issues, his incessant spirit of questioning offers readers ways to listen to Hong Kong ‘with temperature’.

“caak3 seng1” is the first publication in the series “sound by artists”, conceived by soundpocket. Artists with a practice in Hong Kong keep thinking and creating, and express their perception of the world through their own writing and their own voices. Artists provide us the artistic and critical angle to observe ourselves and the surroundings. To listen to them is to find the valuable linkages amongst people, also the problems and alternatives in our societies, between sound, art, and words. “caak3 seng1” brings us insights into lives we get used to. By questioning inexplicable phenomena in Hong Kong, Ahkok associates different musicians, artists and cities to our society, and talk about what we dare not to say nowadays.

關於《拆聲》

「人們追求真空管擴音器,喜歡聽黑膠唱片等等的行為,是因為那些器材產生的聲音有『暖』、『真』的感覺, 而這個感覺,其實是來自參差不齊,形似荊棘的波紋。現代電結他手當然明白這個聲色上永無止境的追求:我們能花上一生的時間,以不同樂器器材作媒介,尋找心目中最理想的破音─即是廣東話的『拆聲 (caak3 seng1) 』。」 – 黃津珏

黃津珏為音樂人、藝術家、作者、講師及前工廈住戶,亦活躍於各社會運動場合。寫作多年,文章曾見於本地不同報章雜誌及網絡媒體。這本《拆聲》結集阿珏選編之文章,內容圍繞音樂、樂團生態、工廈社區及政府政策等。阿珏以多樣的身份探討及評論不同議題,持續不斷的發問精神為讀者提供方向去聆聽具有溫度的香港。

《拆聲》為聲音掏腰包出版的sound by artists書目系列的第一冊。香港藝術家有不同的關注,他們持續思考及創作,透過自身的寫作及聲音來表達對世界的觀感。藝術家為我們提供藝術性及批判性的視角來觀看自身及周遭。仔細聆聽他們的聲音,你會在聲音、藝術及字裡行間找到人際間珍貴的連繫,和社會中的問題與其他選擇。《拆聲》給我們習以為常的生活帶來新見解。透過對香港光怪陸離的現象提出疑問,阿珏從不同的音樂人、藝術家及城市聯想到我們的社會,道出今天我們所不敢說。

About the Album 關於專輯|

DAY AFTER翌日 [2014. 9.29 – 12.12] is a collective album of the sounds of Umbrella Movement. DAY AFTER presents the chronological order of the recordings from September 29 to December 12, that is, from the day after the police shot tear gas to the day after the clearance. This album began as a field recording investigative project initiated by The Library by soundpocket in January 2015. Aiming at collecting and preserving the first hand materials of the Umbrella Movement from the angle of‘sound, the investigation put together the sonic recordings and artists’ testimony about their listening experiences in a bona fide social movement.

About say, Listen

In the book Hong Kong Story, Siu See speaks of ordinary sounds in teahouses and the streets of Hong Kong fading away. Words can never replace sounds. But they may be able to generate conditions for some serious listening.

This collection of fiction and non-fiction writings intended for anyone who has ever wondered about listening. All contributing writers of say, Listen actively and critically listen. They listen with pleasure as much as in hardship. Over a span of three years, these traces of their listening made their way into this book: a writer listens to the gurgling water in the gutters; another listens to the politics silenced and sounded out, or to the memory of home, to distance, and to the inanimate – some dirt.

The publisher soundpocket is an organization working on the understanding and exploration of sound as art. As the second book in the series Pocket, say, Listen explores the relation between words, sounds, and graphic design on paper. The voices and hands of many who contribute to this book reminds one of how Dawn Williams, curator of the durational sound performance Strange Attractor in the Crawford Gallery (Cork, Ireland) speaks of listening, “of the endless possibilities, given a little time and space, that can enhance our relationship with the changing environments we inhabit by just listening.”

Click here to read review by ArtAsiaPacific.

關於《聽者言》

小思老師於《香港故事》談到〈市聲〉說家常話、難忘的市聲一去不返,「香港故事,竟然欠缺真切聲音,倒不如無聲了。」文字不能代替聲音,卻能造就某種真切的聆聽。

這本結集文學創作及個人經歷寫作的文集,適合所有對聆聽感到好奇的人閱讀。這裡是一些聽者的話語,從欣喜與困惑而來,有時也拒絕聆聽。三年來,這些聆聽的痕跡順著它們各自的軌跡溜進了這裡:一個作者聽著水槽裡潺潺的流水聲、另一位則聽著聲音的政治沉默過後又再鏗鏘作響、還有人聆聽有關家的記憶、距離,以至那些了無生氣的塵埃。

出版機構聲音掏腰包致力促進聲音藝術的理解及探索 。作為書目系列的第二冊,《聽者言》探討有關聲音、聆聽活動、文字和平面設計之間的多元關係。正如2011年在愛爾蘭科克城的 Crawford Gallery舉行的一場長時即興聲音表演 Strange Attractor 策展人 Dawn Williams 說,只要給聆聽空間和時間,它就能帶出我們跟不斷改變的環境的無盡可能性。

‘Writers write not only about “sound art” per se,

– Yeung Yang, curator of Around sound art festival 2009

《Around 聽在》is the first book published by soundpocket, a registered charity
promotes sound art and its research and education in Hong Kong. The title of this
book is derived from Around sound art festival 2009 – a festival of listening and the
first of its kind in Hong Kong. Artists, curators, critics and musicians contribute 16
essays on listening in less noticed places in Hong Kong like Motat on Lamma Island,
empty public housing estates in Wong Chuk Hang, and listening to frogs and rivers,
listening to distance. The book includes a CD with 12 recordings of site-specific
works presented in the festival.


About Around sound art festival

Reaching its second year, Around sound art festival continues to highlight the
importance of listening in art. The title of the festival and the book “Around” is an
extension of the name “soundpocket”. They both emphasize comportment and
bearing, what lies around and makes them possible. The Chinese title of Around is
ting zai (Putonghua) and ting joi (Cantonese). It means both “listen at” or “listen in”,
and “listen to be”. When used as part of a phrase, ting joi designates the place and
time of listening, for instance, “ting joi Lamma” means to listen in Lamma, and “ting
joi 2009” means to listen in 2009. The broader meaning of “to be” is the human
horizon against which all listening activities are experienced and understood.

這裡書寫的未必是所謂「聲音藝術」本身,而是屬於聆聽前後、關於與藝術家一起聽的。
每篇文章就是一個癖好,一個世界,互相呼吸。

— 楊陽,《聽在》聲音藝術節2009 策展人

《Around 聽在》為本地聲音藝術慈善團體﹣聲音掏腰包(soundpocket) 首度出版的刊物。本書的名字由《聽在》聲音藝術節而來。藝術家、策展人、藝評人及音樂家等獻上十六篇文章,內容包括:在南丫島模達灣及空置的黃竹坑公共屋邨的聆聽經驗、聆聽青蛙與河流、及聆聽距離等。書本內附CD一張,十二段錄音為藝術節部分作品選段。

關於《聽在》聲音藝術節

進入第二年,《聽在》聲音藝術節繼續強調「聆聽」在藝術之中的重要性。書本及藝術節名字「聽在」為聲音掏腰包的延續,它同樣地强調一種方位,以及還繞它、讓它可能的種種。聽在,也可解作處於某時某地的聆聽,例如聽在南丫,抽像一點,也可以說聽在音樂,有如沐浴於音樂中;或者聽在2009年。
「在」字本身也有存在的意思,也是所有聆聽經驗之可能存在的領域。
