这是一个充满噪音的世界，随着地球的人口继续增长，未来的世界只会更加喧闹/在我思考如何用声音勾勒温哥华这个城市的时候，我开始意识到我们因为缺乏公共环境的礼仪意识，不断制造着周围环境的噪音。总的来说，声音是一种刺激物，尽管它也可以被当成一个有用的工具，也有着武器一般的力量/当我乘坐公共交通或者在咖啡店，尝试聆听和沉浸在一种声音的环境的时候，我非常惊讶的是，大部分时候，我听到的都是人们手机发出的声音/内心那个犬儒的我不禁联想到：我们都是麻木钝化的大众，不仅不记得给手机插上耳机，还完全地忽视了噪音会给我们周围的人带来怎样的影响/同时，内心那个理想主义的我发出了更多的声音。我也决定通过这个项目，收录我听到的温哥华的声音，或者说是我想要听到的这个城市的声音/这些录音展现的是安静的温哥华，是安静得可以用于冥想而不打扰的声音 //
Our world is full of noise, and as the Earth’s populace continues to increase, we are only heading toward an even noisier one / Around the time that I was thinking about how to approach this sonic portrait of Vancouver, I was becoming all-too aware of a growing lack of etiquette surrounding noise. Generally speaking, sound is stimulus, and although it can be used as a helpful tool, it also has a weaponizing power / When I sit on public transit or in coffee shops in an attempt to listen to and absorb a sonic environment, I’m amazed at how most of the time it is people’s phones I am hearing and little more / The cynic in me jumps to this thought: we are a desensitized public who not only seem to have forgotten that headphones even exist, but seem perfectly ignorant to how noise can affect the people around us / However, the idealist in me speaks louder here, and I’ve decided to use this project as an opportunity to capture a Vancouver as I hear it, or at least want to / These recordings are of my quiet Vancouver, of places one can go and meditate on sound rather than be distracted by it //
