Wong Nai Chung Gap Trail presents a historically and sonically rich experience of Hong Kong, yet is often overlooked. Based on his personal listening experience at different hours of the day, artist Sing Jantzen Tse rediscovers the soundscape of the Wong Nai Chung Gap Trail. Through his field recordings captured at spots along the trail, including the entrance, the water catchment area, the lawn at “Sek Yuen”, and the pillbox, our ears catch the acoustic transformations composed by the birds and insects during the sunset hours, before our eyes fully adapt to the dark. Artists Brian Chu Yin-woo (wo4), Fiona Lee Wing-shan, Nerve, and Paul Yip were invited by Tse to join him improvising acoustic creations together at these locations, to respond to each other’s observations of the Trail in listening and sound. We would like to invite you to go on your own sonic journey along the Wong Nai Chung Gap Trail after watching this video, to listen and to be in the moment.

黄泥涌峽徑是一個不多為人所知，卻是個能好好體會香港歷史和聲音的地方。藝術家謝振聲於黃泥涌峽徑以自己的聆聽經驗出發，再發現這地方不同時份的面貌，於沿路數個地點，包括峽徑入口、引水道、「適苑」空地及機槍堡進行日夜的田野錄音，當眼睛仍在適應漸黑的天色，耳朵已更快察覺初夏日落前後蟲鳴鳥聲的變化。謝振聲更邀請了藝術家朱彥龢（龢wo4）、李穎珊、許敖山、葉破於上述地點一同進行即興聲音創作，以聆聽及聲音回應各人對峽徑的觀察。我們鼓勵大家在觀賞影片後，親身到黄泥涌峽徑一趟，感受當刻的聲音。
