Sound Notes / Listen to…
Why listen to sounds and take sound notes?
We surrounded by sounds, the sounds of home appliances working, the sounds of wheels over the ground in the outside, the sounds of chirping, the sounds of the wind, the sounds of my typing, the sounds of clothing friction…
Even though I block my ears I can still listen to the sounds from my body, my heartbeat, my breathing, my blood flowing…
When I settle down to listen to the sounds around me, each sound is like a unique instrument that makes up a symphony orchestra.
So hearing the noise of the car and the barking of the neighbor's dog doesn't bother me as much. When I listened to these sounds carefully, I felt I blend myself into the environment and became a part of the environment, which was an interesting and also strange experience.
But the Sound Notes is what I want to record and listen, the aim to do the Sound Notes prefers to explore possibilities/relationships of sounds in daily life rather than solve problems. It more likes a magnifying glass/a way, to discover and reveal the hidden and unnoticed sonic depths of daily life/to enjoy and feel the world.
It may familar/strange, predictable/improvised, simplicity/complexity, stillness/motion, distance, emotion...

#1 Listen to Papers
Papers is one of my closed friends.
I use papers everyday, when I am reading books, drawing pictures, wiping mouth, crumpling it up and throwing it in the trash can.…
Each papers has their own languages because of the raw material, making method, colour, texture, thickness... They have their own unique touch, smell and even sound.

#2 Listen to Autumn
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
——Albert Camus
I hide in the sunlight, I hide in the autumn.

#3 Listen to Time Machine
I always have a feeling that bus, car, train, plane…they are like a kind of time machine.
Waiting, getting on, getting off
The one destination to another destination
They are constantly in operation
In the journey
Something can be predictable, route, time…
Something can be accidental, the person in the next seat, traffic situation…
We are travelers in the journey of time, every day of our lives
Anywhere, anything, anytime
All we can do is try to do our best to relish this remarkable and improvised ride
