Hong Kong, where modern urban life and deep-rooted traditional culture are tightly interwoven, every corner carries its own unique sonic identity. From the brisk, compact rhythms of bustling streets to the lively clamor of traditional festivals, these everyday sounds are so often taken for granted, quietly blending into the background of our lives. Yet as the city undergoes rapid transformation, when these sounds vanish, we suddenly realize that a part of our life and collective memory has quietly slipped away.

Within the urban environment, interactions between people, people and spaces, and people and machines together compose an invisible grand symphony. Sounds appear in thousands of forms and layers, recording the overlapping moments of the present time, place, and people.

WAVINCITY uses high-quality field recordings to faithfully capture and preserve these sounds along with the history they carry, offering a form of documentation distinct from photography and video. It allows listeners to immerse themselves purely through their ears in the soundscapes created by the overlapping of people, time, and place in that very moment, preserving the things we care for and love.

The sound materials in the project are open to artistic use, providing a valuable resource for exploring the creative potential of soundscape.
