As part of the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art’s (CFCCA) ongoing Call and Response series of sound art events, CFCCA and HOME staged a one-off single-screen version of susan pui san lok’s multi-channel Trilogies installation, called Trilogies LIVE. Trilogies draws on fan uploads of various TV adaptations of martial arts epic novel series, The Condor Trilogy. I was commissioned to devise a live sound performance to accompany a 15 minute montage from ‘The Legend of the Condor’. The piece was performed at HOME and included live contact mic and sword/bow set up, martial art samples/loops and reworkings and compositions from the archive kung fu material.
