Hadaka: K series - Day 2

Today's performance was quite different from yesterday's. I'll just give my own impression of it. Others might have differing views about it. The performance had 3 parts.

Part 1
You hear a myriad of sounds where I recognised some to be mundane/everyday sounds we hear like water running. Anyway, 5 artists for this part. Also, amidst these, I felt some suspense or maybe some sense of possible culmination at some point, but not in a strong way. In a way, I could close my eyes & "feel" the sounds.
I realised that this sound art thing is really about how one interprets or feels the sound. Maybe there's no explanation, just blending and improvising as it's not really a definite form at that point of time; like how it's written in the programme, "uncurated". Hmm...maybe I'm getting it?

Part 2
In part 2, a different set of 4 artists took the stage in a rather different aspect. Each produced 4 distinct sounds - one "sang" some ghostly murmurs...not really chanting, but it gave you that Asian traditional feel. Then, another artist (Chee Wai) used the crisp, clear sound of the piano, which gave you a western, classical perspective. Then we have Atsuhiro with his optron which gave "electric" sounds. One other produced sounds that were sort of pan-background (some parts involved the static sound), but seemed like a buffer among the rest...I don't know how to describe the effect it gave in relation to the other 3 sounds.

Part 3
Finally, in part 3, all came together, i.e. part 1 & 2 combined, which is the culmination of all the sounds.

It's really interesting how they coordinated the timing to be exactly 1 hour for both nights. Tomorrow's the last night. See how it goes.
