Field Recording:
the First Public Emerging at TAU.
January 2022
Research on the mysterious entity known as "Hui" (迴) has lurked behind the soundscape studies proposed by scholars since the 1960s and later by musicians in their approach to environmental music. Although we have continued to study the subject without the public's knowledge, the complex ecology and technological limitations of "Hui" have prevented us from unraveling the many mysteries surrounding the entities, and have left us foggy in our research. Over the past year, we have been collecting and organizing old research materials and thanks to today's advanced digital technology and environment, we have been able to conduct new research. We plan to archive all kinds of data, including research materials, history, and field recordings, on this site.
In January, after an extensive and long-term development effort, we proudly unveiled the complete version of the chang² system, known as the chang² suite. It was the culmination of weeks of tireless work, with many sleepless nights, but despite the lack of manpower, we were eager to proceed with the aging process and gather data quickly. As a result, we decided to conduct our first public emerging from January 13 to January 16, 2022. Field recordings and videos are archived here.
