ABSTRACT
   
This practice-based research delves into the exploration of noise within ambient fields by undertaking a series of sound projects. Rooted in sound studies, sound art and atmosphere / ambiance studies, the research places significant emphasis on the soundscape concept, devoid any discrimination against noise. 

Core Concept:
- Inside/Outside|Interior/Exterior
- Versatile Verticality
- Reframing Noise

Lifted Motörway Project: Investigating the sonic atmosphere through experiential fieldwork in the jungle.

PROJECT#4
Lifted Motörway



Through a series of field recordings, I’ve been investigating the soundscape of a ‘still’ in-construction (2014 - present time) suspended expressway in Nhon Duc ward located in Nha Be, a suburban district of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. This 57-km long massive suspended expressway (e.g., Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway) gets constructed segments at different point along the drawn pathway, in which locals have access to it to freely use it while the road function is not available yet for vehicles. This setup offers me the latitude to explore at different height the sonic atmosphere that occurs between wild life jungle prints and the vertical presence of this cement display, in which the sound of life is amplified by the reverb occurrence of this heavy and massive man-made structure.

The title project echoes with Dismembering Echoes project that launched my PhD journey at the beginning of the PRS ASIA, in which I deconstructed-vertically a local Heavy ‘Black’ Metal band within the form of a sound installation that occurred at Galerie Quynh in downtown Saigon, Vietnam.

Project#4 Black River is informing this new Project#5 WIP towards my personal sonic methodology based on Verticality.
