2022 耳邊的鼓聲 Drumming in the Ears

左右耳不定時出現四千至八千赫茲（Hz）的高頻，有時持續五至十秒、有時只出現三秒就停止，這是耳鳴愈漸頻繁的狀態。隨機出現的耳鳴聲和身體來到不同空間，產生有趣的連結。有時是漸強又漸弱的高頻、有時像進入隧道裡會出現的堵塞風聲，彷彿有樂手在耳裡即興。來到人群吵雜的空間裡，耳鳴又出現了，這個巨大的高頻聲消弭外在聲響，在短暫的十秒內，得到前所未有的寧靜。

本作品從樓梯與畸零地之間的過道，以多聲道聲音裝置模擬耳道內的狀態。牆上的鋁管中傳出不同型態的高頻聲，隨著身體的移動，不同赫茲hz的高頻聲因為時間差，出現又消失。來到天井之下，四聲道喇叭吧所傳出的鼓膜震動與低頻聲，將成為耳道內的即興音景。

From time to time, high-pitched sounds (4,000-8,000 Hz) are heard in both the left and right ears, for about 3 seconds or sometimes 5-10 seconds. This is a symptom of tinnitus.

In different spaces, random ringing in the ears and the body create interesting connections. There can be a high-frequency crescendo that fades or sounds that mimic partially blocked air flow in a tunnel, as if a musician is improvising a performance in the ears.

In crowded noisy spaces, the ringing starts up again. Loud high-frequency sounds cover up external sounds and, for less than 10 seconds, there is unprecedented tranquility. In this work, a multi-channel device, used to simulate the ear canal, is situated between a stairway and an irregularly shaped space.

From aluminum pipes on the wall come high-frequency sounds. As the body moves, high-frequency sounds of different Hz are heard and disappear because of time differences. In the courtyard, low-frequency sounds from four-channel speakers cause the eardrum to vibrate, creating an impromptu soundscape in the ear canal.
