‘Writers write not only about “sound art” per se,
but of listening-to, listening-before and listening-after.’
– 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。
