Abstract
Sanxian/sanshin, Ambisonics field recording, video, text, computer
The work invites the audience to embark on an exercise into listening: listening in the present, but to the past and the future, and listening across time. Through audio, video and text, it gradually guides the listener and the viewer to traces of history that may or may not be evident in sound: acoustic resonance caused by material remnants from World War II in Hong Kong; the ringing of the three metal strings of the sanxian morphing into the three nylon strings of its slightly smaller cousin: the sanshin from Okinawa, Japan; echoes of sounds from instruments which are no longer in Hong Kong. A neural network attempts to sift through and make sense of these dislocations in time and space.

Ho Yi On, Chinese percussion
