輪 Repetition
2019
Repetitions bring changes. Without these overlaid repetitions, the changes would become incomprehensible. No matter in classical music or other music forms, repetition plays an important role-- - Aaron Copland divided music structure into five different categories based on repetition, or in the psychology of music, Diana Deutsch found a speech-song illusion -- the music "illusion" caused by repeated speech. Sound, music and audience, self and others, and the connection between human and non-humans is shaped through the repetition of sound and music. It is a kind of communication and bond
Repetition was directly inspired by the HISS, and its potential as a repetitive, looping instrument – a 'wheel' that could present both stasis and change. I complemented these ideas with visits to the Fayuan temple in BJ, where I created field recordings with these repetitive qualities – including the ever-returning sounds of wind and birds.
