"Field is Where We Play"
Let’s take sports and recreation centres as an imaginary park. When we enjoy ourselves in basketball fields, squash courts and swimming pools, do we notice each of their unique soundscapes? What are the sounds of your playground?
In contrast, with sound not pictures, we can as well distinguish between different ‘soundscapes’, be it a forest, a city street, a playground, or….
Sound designer and field recordist Kan Hei-chun (AK) will unlock the participants’ audio radar, focusing on listening, amplifying the ambient sounds less aware of, learning the ‘field recording’ process and using the recorded sounds to create different sound installation/experience.

"Speakerland"
Time to go to class and assembly as the bell rings; time to get off at the station as the multilingual announcement is broadcasted; time to be rejoiced by the ice-cream and the cartoon characters as the music is played. Amplification, not only functionally disseminates information, but also effectively forms an atmosphere which envelops people in a world of imagination.
What are the sound possibilities of the amplifier itself, not only as a carrier/ apparatus for broadcasting designed content, but also as an object/ instrument? Participants will experiment and find out in the workshop.
Media artist Jasper Fung will take the participants to detect the source of sound, experience and discern the different atmospheres and meanings shaped, through broadcasts among distinct fields. When the soundscape is juxtaposed and transformed into sound installation, what experiences will possibly arise?
