2024 聲音繼續存在 The sound continues to exist

「風」作為一種能動者，無形卻能產生巨大的聲響。

站在防空洞的洞口，可以聽見風在過道中穿梭的聲音。來到竹林下方，可以聽見高處傳來的竹子搖動摩擦聲，當細微的風灌入竹筒中，產生如口哨般的風切聲。

​

當我們來到新的地方聆聽，身體與時間、空間產生親密的連結。建國一村遺留下來的建築空間有不同的特性，自然環境中的聲音景觀也同時保有各種殘響，我們聽見殘響的同時，也聽見了聲音從出現到消失的過程。

​

本作品透過風測裝置感應防空洞外的風，將人聲製造的風聲結合環境中錄製的竹林聲、發財樹內部聲，建構出即興音景。當觀眾走進過道時，其腳步所造成的震動，也將與事前錄下的各種節奏的腳步聲進行殘響的交錯。防空洞內部的高度，縮小了身體與空間的間隙，吟唱、讀取文字的各種聲音碎片，將以拼貼的方式蔓延在空間中。

如同人們對於聲音的描述：「聲音就像光，在空氣裡飄飛，稍縱即逝。當聲音化為錄音，機器比人記憶得更為恆久。」聆聽殘響的過程，聲音得以繼續存在。

Multi-Channel Sound Installation

​雲林虎尾建國眷村小防空洞, 台灣

 Huwei, Taiwan

Wind as an agent: invisible yet sonically profound. > At the threshold of an air-raid shelter, one perceives the wind's transit through the passages. In the bamboo forest, friction from above meets the "wind-cut" whistling produced as air enters the bamboo cylinders.

​

Engaging with these soundscapes creates an intimate bond between the body, time, and space. The heritage sites of Jianguo Village No. 1 offer diverse acoustic characteristics where natural "reverberation" (reverb) remains. To listen to these echoes is to experience the process of sound from manifestation to decay.

​

The installation employs wind sensors to trigger an algorithmic soundscape—merging human-made wind mimicry with field recordings of the environment. Within the shelter, visitor-generated footstep vibrations interlace with archived rhythmic recordings through a complex layering of reverberation. The spatial constraints of the shelter minimize the "liminal gap" between the physical body and the architecture. Fragments of chanting and text-reading are then "collaged" throughout the space.

​

If sound is like light—evanescent and fleeting—then recording becomes a vessel for permanence. Through the act of listening to these lingering echoes, sound is granted a continued existence.
