a performance-based sound installation with revived musical instruments that explores the relationships between live and recorded music by HK composer Charles Kwong and sound artist Ho Tsz-yeung Jacklam

由香港作曲家鄺展維和聲音藝術家何子洋把破爛樂器重生及再造的聲音裝置及現場音樂演出

A collaboration between Hong Kong composer Charles Kwong and local sound artist Jacklam Ho, the performance-based sound installation gives damaged, imperfect and unfinished musical instruments a second life, a unique purpose that challenges the concept of what normality is.

Housed in the gallery space as an installation exhibit, audiences may notice the past lives of the modified instruments, yet they are fulfilling a different function. While the revived instruments will form part of the sound installation through a synthesiser system as loudspeakers that playback records, Charles and Jacklam also created new compositions with the specific “defects” of these instruments, to highlight the unique quality of their “imperfect” sounds.

The work examines the performability of records in a gallery setting while the musical aspect of the sound installation and the performance blurs the lines between live and recorded music, as well as acoustic and electronic sounds.

《再生頻道》是香港作曲家鄺展維和聲音藝術家何子洋共同合作的聲音裝置及演出，將破損、未完成、不完美的樂器再生，賦予一個獨特的目的和音樂性，以挑戰常規音樂、樂器的概念。

再生樂器作為聲音裝置展覽的一部分，觀眾或許留意到它們的前生，但現在卻又履行著完全不同的使命。藝術家將再生樂器透過合成器，化身為播放預先錄製音樂的揚聲器。作曲家根據再生樂器的特點或「缺陷」創作了一些專屬於它們的樂章，並在現場音樂演出時段為觀眾現場演奏「異常」的聲音和樂曲。

作品探討了預先錄製音樂在展覽廳的環境中，作為表演形式的可行性，而聲音裝置和現場音樂演出將會把現場音樂和預錄音樂、原聲音效和電子聲效之間的界限變得模糊。
