sonic anchor:a base for adventures in sound

I am not familiar with sound.In order to learn more about Sound ,I decide to have a watch to this show.

This show is a performance art show and only last for around 1 hour.In this short period.There are two artists to play with sound.One is Yin Yi from Shanghai.Anther one is Tse Chun-sing from Hong Kong.

Yin Yi's performance is  impromptu.He mixed  with the sound track he has prepared,while, Tse is not .He has prepared his sound track at home.

To Yin Yi ,he does not interact with audiences.In the first half part of his show,he mixed  with the sound that come from nature.It comes out with a fresh feeling .In the final half,he mixed  with the electronic sound.It comes out with an annoyed feeling.To combine with the sound and the feeling he has made ,it comes out with a picture in our mind.

To Tse,he does interact with the audiences.He installs sound devices in the stage and needs the audiences to stop the devices.To Tse's work,his sound track is mixed by the human language.Unlike Yin Yi's work,he does not combine the sound and our feeling then come out with picture.What he does is that he combines the sound and the image we audiences see from the stage then come out with the feeling that YOU ARE SO DISGUSTING!

Personally,both artists' performance remind me  John Cage 's works.To Tse,his permance is like John Cage's Water Walk, however,with the different meaning.To Yin Yi's works,his work remind me John Cage's  4'33.In this work,there is not sound making.To my understanding,silence is sound.In the middle of Yi 's performance,he suddently stopped.And  the place was deep in silence.In fact,this is quite powerful.Because at the second before,Yi plays a loud music in the next second ,our ears are not familiar with no sound .It makes powerful to me.So,silence can be sound and can be powerful sound.
