As a practitioner of field recording, YIN Yi has always been thinking about how the recordings like private sound diary can blend in public perception area, such as live music act. Meanwhile, he doesn’t treat these recordings as only materials as those concrete music composers do.
What’s the driving force that keeps the sound going forward on a timeline? Are these organized sounds really able to connect musicians and audience? Or just their imagination?
Listening · Awakening · Meeting will be a periodical response. This is also YIN Yi’s first solo concert.
