Artist Statement 藝術家的話

Hong Kong Diary Series was previously just a sonic arrangement – Hong Kong Diary. It aims to record some soundmarks in Hong Kong that are interesting, memorable and important to me. They are arranged in the form of diary and hope to give audience an experience to visualize my everyday memories by hearing.

This ‘Extended’ version recreates the ‘auditory diary’ into something which is similar to a score or passage presented as another form of diary writing. I hope this gives audience another way of ‘seeing’ the soundscape.

The recording for the 'Extended' version has been shortened the parts with complicated notes for easier coding.

《香港聲音日記》系列前身只有一個日記式聲音作品《香港聲音日記》，旨在記錄在我生活中有趣、有紀念性和重要性的聲音標記及聲境，讓參觀者以聽覺「觀察」我的生活。

系列中的延伸版將聲音日記重新寫成文字日記，以樂譜及文章形式向聽眾提供另一方式「細聽」我的日記。

延伸版的聲音曾將較複雜的部份刪剪，以便寫成文字日記。
