Weave-Rob-Sound-Process-Roam: Curator’s Notes

I. HEAR, HEAR, LISTEN

When we think of the Dadaocheng today, many of us see it in terms of the past, as a place of history and tradition. We think of Japanese-built colonial architecture, the bustle of tourists at the Qing-Dynasty era Xia Hai City God Temple, the fabric vendors at Yongle Market or shopkeepers selling dried foods and goods on Dihua Street.       These iconic images and scenes are often invoked to portray the soul of Dadaocheng. But as a musician fascinated with all aspects of sound, I feel there are other ways to tell its story.     I asked Nigel Brown, Alice Hui-Sheng Chang and Yannick Dauby to do this project in Dadaocheng because they “hear” things we normally don’t. As artists devoted to the medium of sound, they specialize in capturing and manipulating this form of energy, and then transforming it into something new. Their work may not be “music” in a conventional sense, but it’s compelling in a similar way: It seeks to connect with a listener.       In “Weave-Rob-Sound-Process-Roam,” a project that consists of this recorded installation piece (at URS 127 from Oct. 9 to 31) and a separate live performance (at Thinker’s Theater on Oct 15), you’ll hear familiar bits from the “orchestra” of life in Dadaocheng. But you should also expect the unexpected.

II. ROAM, SOUND, WEAVE

During September 2017, the trio made repeated trips to Dadaocheng, recording its streets, people and places while roaming the area on foot. Alice and Nigel also performed “in-site improvisations,” in which they created sounds to interact with places and objects they encountered.     On Dihua Street, Alice gravitated towards empty spaces, such as stairwells and empty shops, looking for “gaps of human life.” She sings, yells, whispers and shrieks in rooms and even into objects such as an empty mailbox. This experimental music approach is not only about uttering sound – it’s also about interaction. She’s listening to how her voice becomes part of her surroundings. With these vocalizations, Alice says she seeks to connect “across time, culture, physical space – all the layers of space that are not physical.”     Nigel is also interested in the nature of sound in relation to space, which he explores by using electronic and acoustic instruments that he either modifies or builds himself. On their excursions in Dadaocheng, he used the internal parts of a “de-constructed” accordion to create droning tones and hints of melodies. He also carried a DIY speaker and microphone that responded to physical objects by creating radio-like chirping noises.     Watching Nigel point the mic at various objects on Dihua Street, accompanied by Alice’s vocalizations, made me think of sonar and echolocation. It felt as if they were mapping out signs of life in Dadaocheng through echoes and feedback loops.       Meanwhile, Yannick documented all of Alice and Nigel’s improvisations and recorded scenes in Dadaocheng’s outdoors. On separate trips, he conducted oral history-style interviews with local residents, who talked about their lives and work. As a field recordist with a keen ear for the “pleasures” of sound, Yannick is sharply focused on details that capture a listener’s attention.     In this project’s installation piece, you’ll hear sounds recorded in Dadaocheng that range from human to mechanical and strange to beautiful, intermingled with personal stories told by residents. When listening, there’s no need to try to comprehend what you hear beyond the immediacy of sounds or dialogue presented. Yannick’s studio-produced soundscape pieces tend to avoid linear narratives, for he wants us to lose ourselves in the moment of listening.

III. PROCESS, ROB, WEAVE

One thing that stuck with me during the production of this project is an observation made by Yannick, who has recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes across Taiwan over the past decade. The sound of Dadaocheng, he said, is like every other urban place in Taiwan: it’s dominated by cars and motorcycles. From a field recordist’s perspective, this makes it difficult to find unique sounds in Dadaocheng’s outdoor environment.     We might heed this as a “warning” for the health of Dadaocheng as a community today, given its renewed developmental aspirations in recent years, which has echoes of gentrification in many cities across the world.     New businesses, from high-end restaurants to boutique shops, have been popping up throughout the neighborhood, with many appealing to tourists’ appetites to connect with the area’s history.     One of Dadaocheng’s first settlers, Lin Lan-tian, a Fujianese immigrant who fled there to hide from pirates (in Chinese, lit. “sea robbers”), would probably be happy to know that the home he built in the mid-1800s lives on today. The renovated house is maintained by his descendants and open for tours, with the first floor serving as a shop selling high-end Taiwanese teas. With its dark-stained wood floors and studio lighting, the place feels like a museum. It’s immaculate, beautiful, refined.     Inevitably, though, some are left behind. I think of a wholesale rice distributor we passed by while collecting recordings on the north end of Dihua street. Dark and dingy, and lit only by a single florescent light strip, the shop front was basically an open garage, with a large, old rusted machine used for processing and packaging rice.       Alice struck up a conversation with the owner, a gentle, kind man who looked to be in his 70s. Sweaty and tired, he was finishing work for the day. But he immediately took a liking to Alice, who displayed an instinct for connecting with people that any journalist or oral historian could learn from. He told her that his family has been selling rice in Dadaocheng for at least three generations. Business, he said, has only gotten worse with every generation.     These sentiments and stories are not directly told in the installation piece or performance, but I feel they are woven into the fabric of the project, just as every sound is connected by gaps of silence.

IV. FEEDBACK LOOP

In watching “Weave-Rob-Sound-Process-Roam” come to fruition, I’ve come to think about Dadaocheng from two vantage points: the physical (buildings, streets, people) and the abstract (history, cultural significance, urban issues).     I see the same duality in the work of these artists. They engaged in field recording and in-site improvisation (the physical) and then condensed those materials to conceive and create this work (the abstract).         In both cases, the physical and abstract play off each other, creating an endless series of modulating loops.       All of this is to say: this project, as a work of art – and more fundamentally a human activity – can be viewed as part of a never-ending cycle.     In the cycle of weave, rob, sound, process and roam, an act of listening becomes an act of responding, which also becomes an act of recording, which becomes an act of creation…     With you, the listener, the cycle continues. -David Chen, Curator Taipei, Oct. 2017

*** We’d like to thank the Tua-Tiu-Tiann International Festival of the Arts for their support of this project, URS 127 for providing exhibition space, and Lin Hsun-chen, Kao Yi-kai and Chen Yu-tse of Thinker’s Theater for their generous production assistance.

And we are especially grateful to Mr Shih Cheng-wen, Mr John Lee, Mr Titan Wu, and Ms Liao Hong-ye for generously taking the time to share their stories with us.

Review on Mess and Noise by Babette Gladney

"While the noise artists and doom bands use all kinds of pedals, haircuts and costumes to seem scary, Alice Hui-Sheng Chang and Rosalind Hall frighten them all away with little more than a saxophone and some of the most disturbing throat noises you might ever hear. Kingsmill is crazy for leaving this “off rotation”."
